give us today our daily bread

I think this is one of the best pictures i’d ever take. It was the third shoot of the serie and it has everything that a photograph needs to be a good picture for me. First the light. There is an hour in noon called “the magic time” when the light is soft and warm. I’d like to think that the light in this picture is the manifestation of God comforting the praying woman. Second, the moment. I like the naturalist expression of the moments and the way they can evoke an honest feeling. Also, there’s a story behind any moment captured in a photograph. Hundred of questions emerges and the answers are flexible enough for the imagination allows.

There is another curious element: why she praying in a comercial center. It’s kind of weird the relationship between the consumerism and the religious beliefs. For some people, crhistianity is about guilt, and in the other hand consumerism is about satisfaction. So what is this image about, maybe could be for the guilt on the wish to buy. I know it could be a forced interpretation, but is not to far from reality.
