Our niece, Faith has a "flat Stanley" project that we are helping with. She prepared an image of herself that her mom (my sister Barb) got laminated. Flat Faith came to us in the mail in February and we have been taking her with us when we go places this year. We photograph "Flat Faith" in locations far and wide and the real Faith gets to live vicariously through her avatar. Flat Faith is now with me in India. I thought it only fitting to have a post specifically for her and have included her pics in Dharamsala. She actually went to the teaching by the Dalai Lama but unfortunately, as you heard in my earlier post, I couldn't take pictures there. So, I got some after the event.
There's an actual strategy for getting Flat Faith into pictures. We figured out when we did this for Flat Lily, Faith's sister Lily's avatar last year. It is very possible to get all kinds of people to hold her and get their photos taken. Even complete strangers find it fun. If no one is available, then we hold Flat Faith (or Lily as was the case last year) out at arm's length and she peeps in from the side.
With no further ado, here's Flat Faith's Dharamsala day first with a cow, with some prayer flags, and with 2 goats, all on the path as we walked to Tara's home.

Q: How did flat Faith do with the high elevations there?
Flat Faith did great! She appreciated having her raincoat lamination on since it rained hard that afternoon and is raining pretty consistently now. Today is the first morning that it has been coming down at a pretty good rate already.
My daughter is a Girl Scout with Lily and Faith and Barb told me about your blog. How cool for Lily and Faith to have their "flat selves" travel about the world! The pictures were great!
