While working in the Paro Valley in the Kingdom of Bhutan, I was documenting a monastery that is also used as a school for young monks. Having always been fascinated by the history that one can see in old, worn Asian walls, I was admiring the age and wisdom of a particular wall when a young student passed by. Not realizing that he even saw me, he looked up right when I took this photograph. Not only did he look up at the perfect time allowing for me to capture this image between the white lines, but he also portrayed a confidence and young wisdom that is often rendered by the Bhutanese people.
