Interview with Michael Yamashita: his favourite image and greatest fear - SilverKris
"One of his favorite images, 'Sea of Monks', was shot at a monastery in Gansu, China and depicts about 100 monks hunkered down in the snow; the bouncing light reflecting on their faces and the subtly different expressions make the photograph endlessly watchable and richly detailed. The scene conveys a stark, austere atmosphere while revealing intimate human variation, rewarding viewers who linger over its many small gestures and tones." - SilverKris
