Jesus
I can’t imagine a photographic world where I will not visit a cemetery, even though once at a class a self-absorbed Famous Photographer said we should “never” photograph them because there was “nothing new” to see. But part of growing as an artist is knowing what sorts of advice to ignore, so I grew greatly during that class and rejected not only that directive but many other things he pontificated about.
And so that’s how, a few years later, I found myself face-to-face with Jesus in northern New Mexico. I’m not sure what Jesus thought about it, but I was delighted.

Well, I’m on your side, Melinda! And take a look at the third image in this post….not all images are the same because it depends on the moment! : https://suejudd.com/2018/01/29/what-this-traveller-saw-in-maramures/

Nice shot – and it depends on the moment, on the photographer, on local cultural traditions and beliefs….
