"We may define "faith" as a firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. When there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith."... We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence."
- Bertrand Arthur William Russel, born in Gales, 18 de Maio de 1872 — Gales, 2 de Fevereiro de 1970)

"The beginning of faith is the beginning of fruitfulness; but the beginning of unbelief, however glittering, is empty."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Frankfurt am Main, 28 de Agosto de 1749 — Weimar, 22 de Março de 1832"

And you, have you thought what FAITH is?

powerful image...

hI tERESAT!

for me faith is everything!

If u dont believe u dont live!

is about everything..love ..religion ..friendship whatever!
i believe cos i have felt and expierenced all those things..
But they are really easy to lose..we must take care of our faith everyday!!
im not so focused and sure about any religion anymore..We must put our own effort to be happy not ask and hope that any God will do this for us!!
Thanks a lot for this shot!
Its speaks by it self..
Warm hugs from Italy..
take care


Ania

many thanks for the citation of Goethe.. and many thanks for this unusual capture.. in a few little details you have resumed in an effective way the idea of faith!! excellent my dear!! ;))
your note leaves space to a debate.. i would like to tell you in few words about the "conscious faith"!! a concept i have learned studing the buddish religion:
not a faith in something for which there is no evidence.. but a faith in the presence of the perfect sight of the truth.. evident only for one (the watcher who have it).. not evident for all.. and over the common evidences.. cause it is out of the evidence of forms we know.. called illumination!! ;))
ehmmm... description of differences sometime are little.. but not so little the final result!! ;))
ciao Marco

good morning my friend teresat
wonderful black white composition.wonderful good idea and timing.well done.
best regards.

Hi Teresat,
Nice POV portraying faith ... the body language says it all. Good tonal range and contrast. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Dear Teresat,
An excellent picture with a stunning note
I like it very much.
For me faith is a sentiment and a presence which we can feel but cannot see or touch.
Faith is a double-edged sword. If it exists, extreme people might use it for bad things or according to their beliefs. If it does not exist, then you are lost and you have nothing to refer to.
Without faith, there is no life or there will only be cash for things
Also, our experience and experiments help us shape our faith and see the positive side of everything
Take care
Cheers,

Hello Teresat,
Again very artistic photo, nice presented, nice b w photo, good composition really nice
My Best Regards

Hi Teresat,
Another superb «photo representation» of an abstract concept; and as usual a great note to think about.
This serie is absolutely fantastic and one of the best projects I've seen here in TL. Congrats for the hard work it for sure gives, and for the graet result of it.

Hi Teresat,
First, this is a very beautiful B&W. The pose of this man gives a meaningful mood.

About your question! I think, that the respond is not easy for anyone! Despite my bad english, I will try to express my thought. "The faith is nothing without works" (Jacques 2:26).
So, if we believe in something, we must get ourselves in action for what we believe arrives! The magic thought does not give any result!
If the impossible is there, the Faith is a manner to let go of! And this is a way like an other to feel better!

Best regards! Annie

Once again Teresat you have captured the essence of a subject or theme.
It's very original work and quite refreshing to see.
You have a knack for the B/W classic noir treatment as well.
It's very inspiring.

I don't think that a specific definition for Faith exists, is more subjective.
Is difficult to define Faith as to define Love, Life ........
To believe is with no doubt ?
Personal I believe and I ask for evidence.
The other way is very religius.
For example I believe in you as good photographer and I have evidence for that !!
Warm regards my friend
Argyris

Hi Teresat.Interesting enigmatic fhoto.
Best regards, Bosko.

A somber portrayal of faith Teresa. Moving and quite effective in b&w. Greetings! Danilo

just marking thoughts later
hi t. 2 days later finally I am back- interesting shot and without your note the reference to faith would not be at all unequivocal- after all people seem to be heading away from the inside of what may well be a church and only the bowed heads suggests that they may be still meditating their own relationship with a superior reality and the Holy Entity in which they believe (whatever they may call It)
they are heading outside, not a usual location for the altar or its equivalent - are they in awe or do they feel inadequate to the message from above or to the mission that they are expected to fulfill? this is Sooooooooo intense !
love
anna

Poderosa Fotografia a P&B.

Inspirando-me no titulo da foto, já percebi que o seu DESTINO, Teresat é transformar imagens em obras de arte... Tendo nós a vantagem de as podermos admirar na sua galeria.

Muitos parabéns!!!

Hi Teresat
A strong capture for its content and the note that refers to faith. A great question indeed about it
Well carried out
Compliments
Argiris

Russell and Goethe... well,
we continue to get in touch...
It's always a pleasure finding, through other roads - photography in this case - people to share our feelings with...
TFS, dear Teresa.
Ciao, Antonella

Hello Teresat,
Wonderful - Image and words..and the title too.
Nice one my friend...Good shot!

Hi Teresat,

A simple thought about faith derives what makes life, living, and love. Without faith, those elements are less alive. Nonetheless, there is no concrete explanation of what Faith is. It differ to person's beliefs.

Me... I believe that faith to my belief is the one I bow onto. Faith to my love is the one I hold onto. Faith to my fate, is the one I wish I could ease and relief. faith makes me live my life, and feel alive.

Thoughtful FAITH. Being a subjective thing, it is greatly depicted in your image. Very thoughtful presentation my friend.

Regards,
Ramdan.

Olá Teresa
Tenho acompanhado esta tua série com a maior atenção, de resto com a atenção que me mereces.
Fotografar e representar conceitos é uma tarefa muito complicada e que tens conseguido excelentemente.
Esta tua foto é disso mais um exemplo.Imagem poderosa de grande beleza e impacto conceitual.
Excelente preto e branco e belíssima nota.
Obrigado
Um beijo

Hello Teresat
For me, faith is believing whether it's a God, love, live whatever. Faith doesn't have anything to do with the way you dress or the gesture you make. Faith is something interior.
By the way, your photo is very interesting. It suggests only and the vewer just have to imagin.
Serge

...abandoning yourself, blindfolded, in the hands of someone greater, even when you think all hope is gone...
This is an image that speaks, Teresat! Really great b&w choice!
Stay well, my dear!
Diana

Hi Teresat,
Great artistic picture in black and white, very nice composition and very well done,

Michel

Hi Teresat,
a creative capture - good choice of monotone.

Well done.
Best regards, Daniel

Bomdia Teresat! This is a harmonic combination of image, title and note! The image gives the viewer space, allowing for one's own thoughts. And they are certainly encouraged your note. Well presented indeed!
Cordelia :))

dear Teresa, faith is for some people the only reason to live because other has stolen them the "evidence" of living and of things, but these are too strong thoughts and I only wanted to say that this picture is beautiful
kind regards
