"The Colors of Life" by Sonya Brewer
Photographer: Sonya Brewer of Peoria, Arizona
Getting the Shot: In November 2006, I traveled to Israel with my church. At the time I only had a point-and-shoot Kodak DX4330.
The Details: After a day of traveling, we ended with a walk down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, Israel. As a group we wound through the narrow and crowded street. Vendors lined both sides trying to sell trinkets and souvenirs, food and clothing. One store caught my eye; its beautiful colors seemed to fall from the sky and surround us. Emerging from the colors was a young mother, who had been shopping for a head covering. What an experience to see these colors of life!
We love how the colors emerge from the shadows, and the focus in her eyes. What do you think of the shot? Want to be included in Global Eye? Contribute your photos to our Flickr pool.
gorgeous shot~
i have a memory of via delarosa and the surrounding streets - we were slowly enjoying the warm afternoon and taking it all in when i heard a familiar song on the radio, playing in one of the small vendor tents... it was britney spears. it made me sad.

I love it! Especially the colors contrasted with the every-day-ness of carrying the baby while shopping. Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
