medium format black and white film photo, hand developed and printed by me in the darkroom. this photo, a somewhat self-explanatory commentary on religion, is special to me because it was the first A grade i received in my first studio lighting photography class in college, from a professor who told us in the beginning of the semester that he rarely, if ever, gives A's. the feeling i got when i exceeded his expectations is something i try to recreate with every photo i take.
