Description
This is actually an old photo but I only just found it while looking through some of my photos. To be honest I never knew this photo existed in the first place. I like the fact that their sign is the only thing in focus.They truly were fanatical about Jesus and to be honest I laughed in my head when I saw and heard them, but I guess we're all fanatical about something, art, photography, love, sport, at least it made them happy.
Yashica TL Electro-X
Kodak BW400CN

i like the photo, i really do but.....this is just my opinion. i hate these statements, like the one this picture makes. i hate these people more than anything though. they stereotype anyone who believes in God or anything for that matter as a fanatic. theres so much that people miss because they assume that God is religion or fanaticism, its kinda sad.
closed minds should come with closed mouths. that goes for the carolers and they critics.
good photo though

such a fierce moment. The devotion, the determination... I might not be in love with their religion, but I'm in love with this picture.

I love it...
The grain...the contrast...the composition...
This is simply beautiful.

This is a great photo. I like the whole feel of it. What are the tech specs if you remember that is?

Woops I forgot to add it but I shot this on a Yashica TL Electro-X with Kodak BW400CN. Yes people laugh at this film because it's not considered real BW film but it still takes real moments
Besides that I don't remember the shutter and aperture settings.

Love how we're looking up at them. Love their mouths open wide in song.
Truth be told, I'm a bit jealous of this little group. While religion isn't really my thing, I wouldn't mind something in my life to feel that passionate about. Hell, I'd probably go outside and sing about it too

erk... turn or burn people.
I hate it when I have to walk by people like that
but like you said, we're all that way about something
or other.
lol I love the guy..
I didn't notice it at first but it looks
like his hand is actually in a fist instead of
playing the acordien (sp?).. kinda like he REALLY
really wants to get his point across to the people but
some how can't manage it so he's getting frustrated..
but is kinda trying to hide it since it doesn't really show
on his face.

sorry but I've laught a lot when I saw this. because I must laugh at these people, I know them, they're in my small town too, I sent this to my friends,,..
the couple in the front is so typicall for that group of people, but I wonder what the japanesse do there
well you're right, if that makes them happy, but they shouldn't bother other people, but on the other hand it wouldn't be the right world if you didn't see these people sometimes..
I believe that I do not want to believe
