Y hablando de que el artista (Ray.) humaniza al personaje (nuestro querido Papa) para acercarlo al pueblo.... aquí nos lo muestra, con una amplia sonrisa!. Con sinceridad, me produce una sana envidia.

dear priciosa,

Gracias por sus palabras amables. Usted es muy amable. América ama a nuestro Papa. Vamos a darle la bienvenida grandiosamente esta semana. Admiro y disfrutar de todas sus fotografías. Mientras que usted puede decir usted no es un poeta, sus fotografías y sus palabras son como la poesía!

Dear Milica, thank you for faving the pope; pls send me that joke again; it is very funny. we were invited to the event and they gave us seats on the front row just to his left. so we were very close. and they told me there were no restrictions on the use of my camera. I took about a thousand shots during a two hour ceremony. being so close, we of course observed some of his human frailties as we all have. it was very humbling and gave me new insight into the contradictions of man.

How wonderful! Would have loved to have been there and seen him in person. I have watched him on tv. Yes, they are like us but mere men but what they represent is so much more! I am glad you got to experience and get some wonderful shots. Thanks for sharing with us all. To be at his age (and those past) and to still perform duties and remember multiple languages, how marvelous! The picture captures mortal man but also, respect, humbleness and graciousness in the expression and a feeling of kindness. Grazie!
