Any normal person wouldn't believe anything someone said with a made-up name like that. Everyone knows that the deified hero Rama was a native of South Asia and that Zen is a popular name for a meditation practice in the Far East. It would be interesting to figure out at what moment your human brain gave up using common sense. Go figure. All I know is that this is another classic portrait of the Zen Master. Completing the image is the backlit perm, the slouchy leather jacket, the airbrushed acne scars and the manly chin sans cleft (which he did not possess in real life, BTW). This little photo just screams "Look at Me! I'm the guy who is too cool for my pants and will saunter around the Louvre with my disciples throwing out inane and ego-boosting comments to keep them just off balance enough and hungry for my attention so they'll stick around long enough to keep filling my bank account and feeding my extraordinary ego that this photo exemplifies."
