A powerful sequence of photos! I am glad to hear that you have a relationship with God. The shard of glass you are holding looks like a ship. The part where you are screaming reminds me of my meltdowns. I find that with photography, whatever style, I need to capture everything, not just what’s pretty. That’s life. Hope you will submit more:)

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words! My relationship with God has certainly brought me through the hardest of nights and days! I hope it has for you as well! I certainly agree! I’m actually releasing the second part of the story on my blog this very day! I hope you will check them out. 🙂
