Item Description
Photographer James Gritz is of two minds about what might be happening in this photo he took of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, "For me the way he is looking over his glasses with such directness often sparks a sense of gap and connecting with the mind of the guru. At other times I feel he is laughing at me with a gentle mood of compassion."
The photo was taken by James in the mid-1970's when Trungpa Rinpoche was living in Four Mile Canyon on the outskirts of Boulder.
James was born in Philadelphia in1950 and graduated from Washington University with BA's in Comparative Religion and English Literature. He started working in the darkroom in 1973 under the direction of a student of Minor White. He has been traveling and making photographs for the last four decades. His work speaks of the essence of place and his portraits poignantly communicate the diversity of the human condition. James is currently working on a documentary about the Kagyu Monlam.

The photo is a limited edition, pigment ink print made with Epson K3 Ultra Chrome archival inks on 100% cotton rag acid-free art papers.
