What’s Selling: June 2012

So the mystery with using a stock agency or distributor is that sometimes they don’t have time to tell you where your images are being used. That’s where you come in. As before, those who want to spend a few moments searching the country they’re in or even the web should be entitled to a reward. Can you find these?

“Walk of the Faithful” Kathmandu, Nepal. This is on the cover of a magazine in Japan currently or in the next month.

“Dinner in Marrakesh, Morocco” by Joel Addams. This is on a cover of a book in France and in the interior of magazine in Russia.

“On the Camino” by Joel Addams. This is on the cover of a magazine in Germany. Help a brother out.

Can you find a copy of any of these things?  We can definitely work something out, since I would love to have a copy (even digital) of any of these images in print.

"Young Monks," Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal by Joel Addams

KATHMANDU, NEPAL

There will be some new announcements concerning Nepal this week, so as a teaser, I thought I would focus on the Kopan Monastery in northwest side of Kathmandu.  I was with some local Sherpas, so they were able to ask if I could slip into one of the classes and take a few pictures.  I didn’t want to disturb their course, so I went in doing the army crawl on the knees.  It’s inevitable that kids are going to get distracted, and when one did, I was hoping to have my camera up and ready to fire.  The bokeh on this one helps out quite a bit, thanks to the Canon 50 mm f/1.2.

Lens: Canon 50 mm f/1.2
Settings: ISO160, f/1.2, 1/100th of a second

View from the Monkey Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal

The work here in Kathmandu is simple:  work hard on two projects, all the time.  My new friend David (read Wall Street analyst starting MBA at Stanford soon) and I took the long drive over to the other side of Kathmandu yesterday to check out the famed Swyambu, the monkey temple.  While dodging bad weather, crowds, and other more normal elements when photographing, I have yet been distracted by monkeys accidentally knocking my tripod.  Well, I did have monkey problems in Peru in 2007 when one tried to grab a lens out of my bag.  When I closed the bag on his extended arm (it was soft, don’t worry), he screeched bloody murder, and my views of monkeys drastically changed.

The set up on this shot was simple enough.  Looking east into the setting sun, I composed with the prayer flags to the lower right and the sun to the upper left.  This look about 7 stops of Singh-Ray goodness to even get the exposure in the ballpark.  I’m still not sure if it succeeded…the clouds were awesome, though during a period of the year when rain and fully cloudy days can hamper any good effort at light.
