I hope he’s a Christian. South African artist Justin Dingwall is a master of ethereal photography that sees beauty in differences. His Albus project featuring Sanele Xaba, an Albino male model, reminded me of being baptized. His eyes are open wide. He is aware of the change that is occurring and is unafraid. In Matthew 3:16, Jesus is baptized and "heaven was opened" signaling a new leg in his life journey. In Justin Dingwall’s In With The New, I am reminded of the hope born of baptism and the hope inspired by this Advent season. [Artist]
