Inspiration: I had a million things to do yesterday, but I made a little time to take a "camera walk" to Union Square, one of my favorite haunts. I walked into a "Change For Burma" rally, which local organizers timed to coincide with the announcement of a positive change in U.S. policy toward the current government (widely considered to be brutal) in Burma (now known as Myanmar). The rally provided a feast of color. Check out The Photodiarist in Color for my color shots. In fact, this is one of only a few shots that really moved me in a black and white format. Something about the look in those young (but rather old) eyes worked best in the absence of color.
I posted a shot of this monk in color on The Photodiarist in Color. Slightly different shot compositionally, but black and white really changes the feel entirely, I think.
WOW. Your photos are on point! Beautiful.

Thanks Andrei! Sofiasophie: I agree with you. This subject matter is best in color.
