I got this photograph from one of the online albums of Pablo Garber. Pablo amazed me by the simplicity of his subjects yet the profoundness of his photographs. This photograph is breath-taking. Marcela is so simple, so real, so unaffected, so natural and all so beautiful. Pablo annotates his photographs by simple quotes from his subjects which add to the striking humanism of the photographs. Below is what Marcela had to say about the feather her mother had left in the Bible she inherited from her.

"When I found it, I felt the need to keep it in that Bible, in the page where my mother wrote how the Holy Spirit had revealed himself to her"

Marcela, Gym Teacher (Argentina)
