“With nothing to gain from the human adventure—nothing to prove, nothing to achieve, and a dangerously unboundaried heart that left him defenseless against the hard edges of this world—Jesus came anyway: that, claims Bernadette Roberts, was the real crucifixion!”

Photo Journal Entry 6

Duane Michals, Salvation, 1984

Source: https://www.dcmooregallery.com/artists/duane-michals/series/photographs-with-text?view=slider#4

Duane Michals is not always considered a traditional photographer. He even calls himself an expressionist - not a photographer. He was not ‘trained’ and did not formally learn how to use a camera. I believe that is why I enjoy his photography so much. Aside from tradition photos, Michals plays with sequencing, long exposures, and adding text below his images.

In this photo, Michals is highlighting religion as a weapon. The photo shows two men, one a priest, one just a man. The priest is holding a crucifix to the man’s head like a weapon. The man has a blank stare, as if accepting his fate. The priest has a very drastic shadow over his face, convey this sinister feeling. The man’s face as a dark shadow on the opposite side of the crucifix. The high contrast of the image as well as it being in black and white adds to the intensity of the moment.
