EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Carlo Morucchio/Robert Harding, we are transported to the serene Debre Maryam monastery in Ethiopia's Tana Lake region. The image showcases an elderly priest proudly displaying an ancient manuscript, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of Christianity in Africa. The priest sits gracefully, his weathered face reflecting wisdom and devotion. With three-quarter length framing, he commands our attention as he holds the precious book with utmost care. His eyes meet the camera lens directly, inviting us to share in his profound connection to this sacred text. Surrounded by the tranquil ambiance of the monastery, one can't help but be captivated by its spiritual aura. The vibrant colors of Ethiopia come alive through this vertical composition - from the lush greenery outside to the warm hues adorning every corner inside. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Ethiopia's deep-rooted religious traditions and cultural significance. It transports us on a visual journey that evokes curiosity and admiration for both its subject and location. Carlo Morucchio/Robert Harding has masterfully captured an intimate portrait that transcends boundaries and invites viewers from around the world to appreciate the beauty found within Debre Maryam monastery's walls.
