Hundreds of Buddhist pilgrims clutching prayer wheels still circle the three-story Jokhang, Tibet’s holiest Temple. They come from all corners of Tibet to circle the 1,300 year-old building in never ending waves. I carefully planned most of this shot in advance, primarily because of the way the light fell on the ancient building and on the plaza that surrounds it. I spot-metered on the white façade to hold detail and prevent “burn-out.” That made the shadows black and the sky deep blue. I then waited until a pilgrim entered the frame and shot him as he stepped into the space between the two shadows on the Plaza.
