EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Guillermo Granja, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Quito on April 3,2015. The image showcases a procession rally where penitents, dressed in Christian clothing and donning purple hoods, participate with unwavering faith and devotion. As they march through the downtown streets, their unity is palpable amidst a sea of unrecognizable faces. The composition of the photograph is truly remarkable. Against the backdrop of an expansive sky, the crowd forms a striking silhouette that highlights both their individuality and collective spirit. Creative use of depth of field allows us to focus on multiple elements simultaneously - from the cone-shaped hoods oddly reminiscent of air traffic controllers to religious clothes worn by nuns and monks. There is an undeniable sense of humor in this scene as well; it's almost as if these worshipers have embraced their anonymity while celebrating their faith together. The weather adds another layer to this already powerful image – perhaps symbolizing both cleansing rain and spiritual renewal. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of religion and its ability to bring people together in worship. It invites viewers into a moment frozen in time – one filled with reverence, tradition, and profound spirituality.
