Mother Teresa exhibition in Sorento, Italy

Found a very touching exhibition, called The Light of God, in a back street church in Sorrento,Italy. A photographer called Rafael Selantano was allowed to photograph Mother Teresa at her orphanage in India, something not many people were able to do during her lifetime.



The pictures were not just of Mother Teresa but of the whole orphanage. It was very moving see how the nuns all lived and worked together with the children







I'm surprised, if you read the history of the photographer above, how he was given access to the nuns and watch them praying, eating and working. I would have thought a female photographer would have been more acceptable but who knows what motivates people.
