Ash Wednesday
My friend Debbie told me that her pastor was going to be doing blessing with ash for Ash Wednesday in our little town square. She told me this because I had mentioned that I would love to photograph some people that are being blessed, and/or have the ash on their forehead. I am kind of obsessed with spiritual and religious rights and not being a Christian, I often don't get to witness these events. I also value and respect the sacredness of all traditions so wouldn't crash anyone's party just to get a photo. Anyway, I went down to the square and after asking permission, of course, was able to grab some images of people during and after their blessings. This was one of the images I got of a person I did not know who was willing to let me grab a capture.
This image was taken in full-spectrum with a converted Sony A55. It was taken in RAW and processed in Linux using RawTherapee.
