My Toughest Shot: Ryan Pyle

Monk in prayer

Monk in prayer    Photographer: Ryan Pyle

The Konka Gompa Monastery, in China's Sichuan province, sits at the base of 24,790-foot Minya Konka, and I walked 120 miles over four days to reach it. Each morning, one monk prays alone in the main hall. It was damp and cold, and there was a lovely light coming in from a single window. My only concern was to do the moment justice.
