... finding my faith

... finding my faith by wiseacre photo.
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY ON GETTY IMAGES

Despite a difficult week, life lunges onward and I had a new series photoshoot -- in a location we have used previously. Ryan and I went to 2 different thrift shops, bought as many varied suitcases as we could (making sure to have some old, some somewhat old) and set ourselves up in the middle of the street (very reminiscent of "Wayne's World" at time --- "Car! Car!")

The title of the series is "Losing my religion, finding my faith". The concept hinges around baggage -- our baggage. Specifically our "religion" baggage -- those outside influences that shape our thinking of God, Jesus, Church, Christians, etc. Unnecessary baggage or hurt, anger, fear, manipulation, abuse. Baggage that weighs us down and prevents us from having true faith. We need to dump the baggage, leave the suitcases behind and run toward faith.

Great concept... I'm interested to see where being part of a good local church fits in, and how important other Christians are in keeping us accountable along our journey.

His posture with the sign shows disinterest,
scatteredness, like the bags. Awesome composition.
