Location
I took this photo in DR Congo during a visit to the villages in the rural north.Time
This was in the middle of the day, most houses are dark inside.Lighting
The single source lighting from the door picks out the gentle strength and deep compassion in the faceEquipment
Minolta Dimage Z5 - an early digital cameraInspiration
I was privileged to be invited to preach in some village churches with a team of local pastors.Everywhere we went there was great love... So I called this photo 'The Minister of Love'Editing
I transformed the picture with Black and White and tweaked the contrast.In my camera bag
I usually carry just a camera, especially in this context, more would be inappropriate.Feedback
In unique situations and low lighting take more than one photo and keep talking to the person as the opportunity may not come your way again.
