Contemplating Christ

Digital Contemplating Jesus: April 2013: (c) Luke Bennette

Contemplating Christ was one of the original pictures in a series of pictures that led to the idea of this blog. The original colors were dull and sparse, suggesting the idea of contemplating within the dark night of the soul, whereas the digital enhancement gives an aura of peace ad a sense of fulfillment withing the contemplating priest. The vestments are not entirely traditional, though the inclusion of the letters IHS helps to give some credibility to the otherwise fiery look.
