Nice picture, but where is the boy?

Fantastic photo.
(Even if the photographic style shows an obvious intention to have them look like freaks.)

Haa, Martin beat me to it. Right photo/wrong caption perhaps? or vice-versa?

I like this photo a lot. It is powerful and to me also a bit frightening. A good matching photo when i think of this years elections in the USA. Also i love De Keyzers work. He is a great photographer!

So they aren't freaks then....? They probably had to cut out the boy for release purposes.

?anyone in the church would tell you that being born of the spirit is something that Jesus does, through faith in what He did at the cross for you. One is not "saved" by pastor or friends. Recommended, is a deeper, closer look at the international Church of God of Prophecy.
