I'm pretty sure that Saturday, in terms of responsible and sustainable consumerism, I used up more than my fair share of cosmically-allotted digital pixels. My day began with a ferry ride to Seattle, where I witnessed the foggy sunrise you see above. That scene duly recorded for my own, ongoing photographic diary, I traveled on to three events I had promised I would shoot for my friends in the Seattle Tibetan community.
I thought that today I would post a bit of a travelogue -- the moments that presented themselves as I went from one event to another, camera in hand.
My first stop (post sunrise) was at the Tibetan Buddhist monastery, where about a half dozen folks spent the morning cleaning both the inside and outside of the gompa.
My second volunteer shoot of the day took me to a neighborhood near the University of Washington, where a Tibetan lama friend of mine was giving a meditation class. His students were mostly Westerners.
