NOTEPAD: When I was in Bosnia in 2001 & Baghdad in 2003, I remember listening to the daily calls to prayer echoing from the local mosques. That's why, on a trip to Thailand, I decided to follow the sounds of chanting monks.

Walking down a dirt country road, I discovered three Buddhist Monks praying inside of a small, darken temple. Religion, in all its forms, continues to dominate man's interactions with this world. While making my own pilgrimage through life, I search for images which somehow reflect the faith & hope of humanity.

Indeed, maybe one day, ALL of this world's religious leaders will stand together to fight the hatred and tyranny of global terrorism. Man, not God, hold the keys to a lasting peace.

NOTEPAD: Sometimes, when I'm photographing people in other countries, I wish I could speak the local language. Granted, these days, English is spoken nearly everywhere (even though the French hate to admit it). However, when I do stumble across an interesting subject, I attempt to bridge the language gap. Many times, I rely on a translator to get my ideas communicated. At other times, I simply point at the camera and go through a sort of mime routine. Body language & hand movements usually work to get the message across. Parlez-vous anglais?
