I did not realize that I had captured this shot until I got back to the states. Since then, I have been unable to get it off my mind (click on the image to see a larger version). The expressions are gripping. Prayerful faith. Confident trust. Transcendent joy. Further back there is expressions of uncertainty, doubt, and despair. Their gaze is piercing. Their struggle palatable. Their hope profound.
An amazing picture Tim. It really gets you. Driving me to my knees tonight in prayer for the church in Haiti.
My sister recently returned from Hatai and her pictures made me cry.
Thank you for sharing your story and Joseph’s as well – it has touched my heart.
