EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Great Bible dating back to 1539. Nestled within the grandeur of St. Andrews Cathedral in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, this ancient artifact holds immense significance for Christianity and the region's rich cultural heritage. The image invites us into a world where time seems to stand still. With its close-up perspective, we are drawn into the intricate details of this 16th-century masterpiece. The differential focus skillfully highlights the open pages of the Bible while blurring out its surroundings, emphasizing its importance as a single object worthy of admiration. As we gaze upon this open book frozen in time, we can only imagine the countless hands that have turned these pages over centuries past. Its weathered texture and faded text bear witness to years gone by and serve as a tangible link between present-day believers and their religious ancestors. Photographer Godong/Robert Harding has expertly captured not just an object but also an entire narrative encompassing religion, history, and human connection. Through his lens, he reminds us that even in our modern world dominated by technology and progress, there is beauty in preserving ancient traditions. In this color image devoid of people yet brimming with spiritual energy, we are transported to another era—a testament to both faith's enduring power and humanity's quest for meaning throughout time.
