Like a prayer

VirginfinalAs we dig deeper into our local neighborhoods, it has become increasingly easier to find fantastic art in surprising little places. Take this picture, for instance.

Shot by Cindy, this photograph captures just one corner of a large mural in Highland Park.

The Virgin de Guadalupe can be seen on many walls around L.A. actually. The image is some times tattooed on muscled arms, stenciled on the sides of little bodegas, and even hanging from rearview mirrors. Here we see the famous saint in someone's graffiti-ed prayer.

Thanks for the inspired shot. Very full of grace.

"Virgin" from the album Street Art, sumitted by Cindy.
