a touch of color
back to their roots
Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 23 October 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
On Wednesday, October 17, the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in honor of his efforts for peace, nonviolence, and universal acceptance. The next few photos will be of that event. Go here to start at the beginning.
If you look closely at the first photo in this series, you can see these two girls in the bottom left of the photo. They were playing a lot around the area I was sitting in, so it gave me a lot of opportunities to photograph them. There were a lot of kids like them who were dressed up in their traditional Tibetan wear.

Such personality is pictured in these little girls; the one facing the camera is as adorable as she is lovely in her Tibetan garb.
