Description
"Dios es amor y te ama," the sign on the side of this old Mexica house, translates as "God is love and he loves you." The partially open door with the crucifix beckons us inside, a tree branch seemingly pointing the way. Like the house, we have our faults and don't look perfect. Will we go in?
I photographed this image in Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. It is actually a small apartment on the second floor of a building. After standing in front of it for a few moments I suddenly realized the significance of the scene. Whether the house's owner had set it up this way on purpose I will never know.
