inspiring photos

I wanted to get some more inspiration to what  I could photograph while in the temple so I found some interesting photographs from a website.

Prayer spoons in Japan


The photograph above is of Japanese praying spoons were people write their wish or prayer on and place it on the hooks their can be hundreds of these spoons located at the temples. I like how it is personal but other people can read them if they wanted to. The main focus is the spoons especially the light ones it make you want to read what is on them. I find this photo inspiring as their are some objects that the monks and the visitor use that I could photograph but their is one thing that can be personal which is when a monk ties string around the wrist of a person while chanting.

Buddhist prayers



I quite like this photo as it is something that everyone at the temple do. I find it inspiring as I have not really payed much attention to it so I will be trying to photograph this pose a little bit more often.
