His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet - May 2013

Today was spent sorting through my hard-drive and archiving portraits from the past.  I came across this image and was instantly reminded of the day that I was blessed to be invited to attend and photograph the guest speaker at a private event in Oregon, His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama.  I was allowed to use one of my images on my website and this one was without a doubt the one that I had to choose.  To have such an amazing and spiritual being looking down at me through my lens was an experience I will never forget.  At the end of the event, I was draped with a scarf blessed by the Dalai Lama.  This will always remain a special and peaceful memory that I will hold deep in my heart.
