Photos taken at the ‘Children Becoming Buddhist Monks’ ceremony at a Chogye temple in Seoul.
Some of the boys seem to enjoy it more than others
Is he wondering if he really wants to be a monk?
It looks likes some of the boys don't want to be there
The children will stay at the temple for 2 to 3 weeks to learn about Buddhism.
No, these are really not outlaw gangs and the photos are not from the 1880’s

These are photos of Paula Deen the southern 'comfort food' chef. The airbrushed photo is shown above. The realistic photo is below.
The photos below were taken by Nathan Sarli:
Nathan found a house fly buzzing around a window. The fly was captured and put in a Ziploc bag but he was too hyper to photograph so he was placed in the freezer for a very short time as a temporarily sedative.
Once the fly was awake he was briefly enticed by cantaloupe seeds and juice -- just long enough to snap a few pictures before he flew away.
The fly was soon buzzing around being a pest once again unmindful of his recent ordeal.
Nathan describes the equipment he used to take the “fly eye” photo:
I used fotodiox extension tubes ($12 on Amazon) with an old Olympus 50mm f/1.8 lens attached with an OM to EOS adapter. (since lenses like this were kit lenses for many years they are quite affordable on eBay).
I like this combo because it is very cheap ~ $50 for the whole setup minus the camera body. I use the old lens because it has a manual diaphragm allowing me to stop down to small apertures without electronic connection to the camera.
This Lincoln, Nebraska photo was taken by John Vachon in 1942 on the corner of 11th and P street looking north.
In the foreground is a 1938 Studebaker Commander. The other car is a 1931 Model A Ford four door with side mount spare tires.
