20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Divine Ignorance

If Post Modernism and Romanticism had a baby, Divine Ignorance is the result. Seen here is my first attempt at shooting on-location, beachside. Sandy prayer hands (a universal symbol), set in darkness, ode to both, Francisco Goya and Peter Rubens "Saturn Devouring His Son", plus, "Praying Hands" by Albrecht Dürer and " "The Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli. Masterfully cropped to leave viewers pondering questions like: What religion? What gender? What age? What race?
