this is why you are so talented you see the beauty in people, i think this is something that is very much transcended in your pictures, you can almost see the people from within through your pictures.
Thank you for giving this to us.

A wonderful collection of images. I was struck by the truth of that Tolstoy quote, and Thich Nhat Hanh is such a wonderful writer, too.

I feel grateful that you put photos on this site that you can’t see anywhere else. The shot of the light coming into the room in north Afghanistan struck me and I found myself stopping to look at everything in the photo. It reminds me another one of your photos of a man praying in the light of small window in a temple.

Cambodia is sad……it brought tears….man without a leg and little girl bare- footed. You have captured them for that moment in time. I wonder how their life is afterwards….are they suffering ? Is anyone helping them ? Will their lives be better ?

Dear Steve,
I like “Kham, Tibet” photograph and noticed that there is a fourth person in the composition
. also like “Northern Pakistan” for its lights …
There will be some story behind “Yanesha, Peru” photograph.
“Cambodia” is touching …
Thanks for sharing another amazing collection…
Respect,
Pawan
