Why We Travel

Move over, Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario.

The New York Times travel section carries a compelling photo by another born-and-bred Westporter.

Under the headline “Why We Travel,” the caption reads:

While traveling through Southeast Asia on a photographic tour, we stopped in Luang Prabang (Laos), one of the most charming cities I have ever seen.  I peeked in a window of a monastery, expecting to see attentive pupils, but instead caught this Buddhist technophile, framed in perfect Rembrandt-esque lighting.

The photographer is Susan Woog Wagner.

Yeah, I’m proud of my little sister!
