In Silence We Pray Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Pilgrims, Page Five: In Silence We Pray

...well, not actually in silence - there is a sound of singing birds, croaking frogs, and singing priest... And your soul talking to yourself... What a mixture of Silence...
-----------
The night 24/25 June is a special time for the monastery in Jableczna and numerous believers called Eastern Orthodox Christians... They come from all parts of the country, mostly from the very east, as well as from Belarus and Ukraine...
During the night they participate in the procession... Let's join them in this ceremony...

Ciao Jerzy,
did you ever seen a picture from Gherardo delle Notti? This shot made me thinking about his Adorazione dei magi, here in Florence, at the Uffizi Museum!
Fantastic sharpness in the details of the candle and mystic light, with the golden little one and the blue reflection of the sky!

To szkło okularów zaniebieszczone - nie do wyjęcia.
Reszta - jak poprzednio - znaczy pięknie
Pozdrowienia łączę T.

To jest piekne i uduchowione.
Zlikwidowalabym tylko trzy niebieskie plamki : te w gornym prawym rogu, i te dwie po prawej ale prawie po srodku.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

Very emotional, the suggestive power is very strong - the more so that it is so dark - so we can imagine better... Splendid light on the face of that woman, I remember your photos from a pilgrimage last year (taken early morning, if I remember well) : there was also a powerful atmosphere...
Compliments,
Cath.

Witaj Jerzy.

Simply your work with the light is amazing. You can do whatever you want and then, it is good.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Do you like Baroque paintings?
Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Vermeer etc...
I do like them, and find your work as photographic reflections of those works of art.
This procession was indeed an inspiration for such artwork, and the results are just fantastic.
It would be great if we could add a whole "project" as a favourite. This one would be my very first to add.
Congrats,
Deniz
