Photo Prayer 2020-23 — In The Spotlight
Few can do what Iris McKenney does — pose confidently for hours while a battery of cameras fire at her point blank, at the same time establishing an easy rapport with the photographers, at times the whole studio full of laughter. Oh, to be as calm when we are in the spotlight, to be as comfortable in our own skin, to show ourselves to others without needing to control how we are seen. Let our triumphant being glow in the pixels of every screen! Let others see us, if they have eyes to see, people like themselves — I don’t think I am overstating it — people divinely made, heavenly crafted, God’s image incarnate.

Lovely woman! A thousand messages! Confession - I cheated! Found your workshop on Google and so enjoyed the variety of student photos of her. When one can laugh during a workshop, we know her persona is rich and deep!
