Seeking Alms

Mahamuni Pagoda, Mandalay, Myanmar, March 2013. I found this novice monk seeking alms at the beginning of his day and so I passed him a 1000 Kyat note (approx $1) and took about 8 pictures of him. At first he smiled for me but the smile gradually disappeared and at the end he rewarded me with this piercing - no nonsense - stare.
