Buddha Jayanti Bouddhanath Kathmandu Nepal 09 May 2009 – Images by Rene Edde

Sometimes life throws a curve ball. The full moon in Scorpio of Vaksha brought Buddha’s birthday festival at Bouddhanath. This festival brought out the pickpockets. They nabbed my phone. Then the mirror in my camera just fell out. It’s broke. Again in Nepal I have a broken camera.

But even with all the full moon hoopla, I am still happy. I spent the evening making photos and there are even a few that I have grown to love. That’s all I can ever hope for in the world. Just to make one photo in a day that I love. There’s nothing better in the world.
