Hats off to India

DAVID MICHAEL BARRETT and his partner, Mark Peters, kept crossing paths with this group of Buddhist monastics in October when they were in Agra, India. “I was captivated by them being captivated by the Taj Mahal,” said Barrett, a writer who lives in Silver Lake. So when they posed at the Agra Fort, with the Taj Mahal in the background, he snapped a shot of his own with his Canon PowerShot SD450 Digital Elph.
