A fashion photographer took a series of gorgeous photographs in Italy to correlate to the parables of Jesus. They are an interesting juxtaposition of ancient and modern, with Jesus pictured interacting with people in modern dress in present-day places. Here is a link to my favorite one -- please check it out, as I think it will encourage many of

When I read the first line, I may have giggled at the concept of a fashion photographer taking on such a subject. XD

Those pictures are really nice, though. I think I like the "Bread" one best, on account that he looks as though he's laughing.

I really liked that one too. Yes, the fact that he's a fashion photographer really made me hesitate when I first heard about this, and I usually picture Jesus as more, well, homely (or at least not beautiful) because the Bible says he was in Isaiah, but these were a nice surprise despite that. The laughing part -- I liked that too because I tend to think of Jesus as more solemn and thoughtful-looking, but of course he laughed too, and the thought of God laughing makes me laugh too (with joy).
