Okay.... the below only had 20 Likes. But it still seems like a good idea to combine the Face image alongside loosely related snippets of Christian writing, loosely related in terms of setting a mood in a narrative and then trying to match that mood in the image. That said, the image without any textual narrative received over 1,000 Likes.

Some previous images incorporated an inscription from Scripture. The thought was that this lent more to the image but the experience has been that it made little or no difference to how the images might be received. The image incorporating scripture as portrayed in the previous blog attracted about 1,000 Likes on Facebook. The image here below, without a scriptural quotation, also received about 1,000 Likes.
The idea of the image is that it, hopefully, carries an inner strength. And that might offer an interesting point of correspondence between the fears and any feelings of hopelessness that can overwhelm a person in their ordinary lives.
So, I have been thinking about trying to possibly clash the sense of hopelessness against the assurances that are offered by faith and the resolve of a strong image. |
