I stumbled upon this gorgeous set of photos on Flickr today, by artist Bethann Shannon.
Bethann Shannon compares the experience in the photo booth to communion:
"The photo booth was an impromptu sanctuary in the midst of a chaotic world. It was private, quiet and reminded me of a church confessional…I closed the little curtains, put a dollar in the slot and started to pray. I remember feeling deep despair that day. I needed help. I needed God to be real."
She began to pull strangers into the photo booth with her to pray and document the moment. At the end of four months, she prayed with 100 strangers in Times Square.
The result is fascinating and lovely and spiritual and kitschy.
Please refer back when you feel like you need a little prayer.
