Resensitization




Sometimes we get so used to a place, that we somehow overlook the beauty it holds.

I took this shot of an old Catholic woman making the sign of the cross after dipping her hands in holy water while on a shoot for World Mission Magazine. Having grown up in Christianity this is not an uncommon sight for me, and so I initially took one glance and turned my attention onto another portion of the church we were in. At the end, I'm glad I was able to capture this solemn moment of introspection. We live in a beautiful world, we just need to keep ourselves constantly sensitive to what it shows us.

Beauty

Animator Rino Tagliafierro made a short film, bringing classical paintings magically to life with Beauty. Every time I've spent some time gazing at a painting, I've always envisioned the scene playing out in my head, and imagining what it would be like to live in the world of that particular piece.

Today, I got a bit closer to having that come true.
