This is an on going series about patron saints and how everyday people relate to that sort of saint.

#5 is Saint Jude, he is the patron saint of Lost causes and despair thoughts.

I used myself as St. Jude on the count that I at times have had people come with me with these questions and odd things and it seems like a lost cause but I do seem to help at least just a tad bit. Thus me as Jude.

Done in traditional black and white silver gelatin print with silver pen on matte paper.

*Note I feel that the scans do no justice to the original prints so if there's something wrong with them it's cuz of the scan.

...I'm gonna pray to St Jude more often, he's HAWT!

Very nicely done... I love the darkness of the picture... it make it seem actually really serene and yet mysterious... And the white blob (sorry, that was the only way i could describe it lol, lack of a better term) actually makes it look like an aura, like and angel or something. Very well done!

Oh, now I really do like this one. The lighting suits you well.

Only thing that bothers me is that it reminds me of one of those things you could get stuck writing pages of symbolism about. I've done far too much of that today, as it is.

I like where that white spot (yeah, the white spot) is as well...o.o as isn't that roughly around where your heart is? (yeah, I say roughly bcause I'm going on less than 4 hours of sleep)

God you look like someone I know, or seen somewhere :'<

Anyway, very catchy, with you holding the light in the dark background only leaving your face & bits of your arm in sight
