A Few Photos Published at the lens culture Buddha Project

I made mention of the lens culture on-line photography magazine at least once before and their ongoing Buddha Project in which they accept submissions of Buddha images. The magazine itself is quite interesting. Their masthead states:

Lens Culture is an online magazine celebrating international contemporary photography, art, media, and world cultures.

I had submitted a few images a while back and they have now kindly published them as part of their collection

Buddha at Tou Lou Lake Temple Taiwan

Bangkok Thailand Funeral Statues

Fo Kuang Shan Temple Kiaoshung Taiwan

At Mindroling Monastery, Dehra Dun, India

Bangkok Thailand Temple Buddhas

I am not going to reproduce them here since it is well worth the effort to go and have a look at the 706 images currently showing there.

If you have some images of Buddha, in any sort of context from the monumental to the miniature, the local or the global why not submit them? It may take some months since they update that section  infrequently but it’s a nice collection and I find it rather interesting to page through and consider the diversity, detail and dispersion of Buddha images. And that people do take notice of them in whatever context they appear.

So thank you lens culture for including these images I captured and for the thought behind the Buddha Project.

    Thanks for sharing the direct links here. It is a fabulous project. Unfortunately your Fo Kuang Shan link appears to be broken.
