23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Repent and the almost naked truth

In the final photo, I have combined 2 photos. The basic was taken at a bus station. There was a poster for an underwear company. On the breast of the model, someone had put a sign saying "Repent". On the mirror, it is reflected the traffic of the road. People pass by, people waiting, life moves. I thought the person who put the sign on the poster maybe wanted to alert people of the real meaning of life which comes from the change in human thinking and acting. It is like he wanted to say that we, people can do more than consume constantly and find happiness beyond chasing material needs. The second picture is my finger wearing a ring with Jesus prayer. I wanted to emphasize the message of the sign on the poster.
