Bhutan was likely the final chance for me to photograph for my upcoming book on international spirituality and religion, Acts of Faith<\/em>. I photographed the Tshechu Buddhist Festival and the Dance of the Black Hats many years ago, and it was incredible to go back there with the latest technology and my widest of wide angle lenses to ensure I could capture the colorful dancers front and center while also getting down low to capture the ancient architecture of the Rinpung Dzong monastery.<\/p>\n

The Dance of the Black Hats is one of many dances that take place during this annual festival. In many cases, dancers wear terrifying masks to ward off evil spirits. The people here are incredibly friendly, as they are part of a national culture that embraces mindfulness and harmony within their community.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the photos \u2013 and join me on my next adventure. There are still a couple spaces left to join us in Vietnam<\/a> at the end of May!<\/p>\n
