These are photos that I have selected from the meditation contact sheets. I have chosen them as they are ether something I have been wanting to photograph or they are a response to feedback.

I wanted to get a photograph of the books that have the chants in so when I was able to get this photo of the book open and someone reading I had to photograph it what I think would have been better would be if the book was in Taiwanese not English, but this shows that the temple does take in to account the langue barriers. The photo i think is perfectly light as the page it light up so you can see what the chant is. what I like is that the hand is pointing out were the chant is at, this is because it is hard to follow so make sure you know were you is a great idea.

I took a couple of photos during the meditation . The photos are dark as the curtains are closed and i wanted to keep that to show what happens during. Figure 4 reminds me of what Paul Hill had mention to me during a feed back "look at shapes and texture". That is what the image shows the shape of the monk while meditating.

I love this photograph I wanted to get a photo of all 4 monks together and they love have their photo taken. The photos is warm and quite welcoming which is what the temple is mainly like. I know the monks are not the center of the photo but I still love this photo.
