this thread is amazing.

i would love to share one of my favourite and most powerful photos of all time but i can't find it on the internet.

its inside the booklet of "beggars" an album by Thrice. The last song is called "Beggars" and deals with the sheer helplessness of humans when confronted with fate and how little we can actually manipulate what is going to happen.

It's a picture of an woman kneeling in front of an altar. Religious or not, the picture captures so much, the intensity the meaning the light and the colour contrast. It is absolutely amazing.

Sorry that i cant share it.
