Buddhist monks have such an exotic and serene aura about them it’s no wonder that I’m attracted to them as a photographic subject. Having a thing for saffron doesn’t hurt either. Wizened old faces always grab my attention, but SE Asia’s youth bundled up in monk robes are equally of a draw. And Luang Prabang is on of the best locals for running across baby monks. Kids being kids as they are the world over, serenity isn’t part of baby monks’ charm very often, but then when one flashes a glorious smile like this, who cares?
