Cover Photo
"Sonam Watching Shacham" was made by Joe Englander at Thangbi Mani in the province of Bumthang, Bhutan with a Leica R8 and a 80-200 zoom. There are no roads to this walled small village dzong; access is by footpath only. The necessary river crossing is by a handmade rope and plank suspension bridge. The window construction and decoration is typical of the area: hand-hewn, traditionally decorated, no screens, sliding louvers.
Mr. Englander says, "Besides the window being a beautiful example of local architecture and custom, the balance between Sonam's head in the lower right with the Thongka in the upper left combined with her smooth skin contrasting with the texture of the window impelled me to make the image."
