Now it begins..as it inevitably would. Fallen into darkness, the people called out for deliverance. Eight years it took, but at that time when no leader ruled them, Othniel, son of Kenaz and Caleb's baby brother, rose to save his people.
Caleb had not just a baby brother but a daughter as well. Her name was Acsah and was his one and only...and promised in marriage to the man who would defeat the enemies of the people. And as the story goes, Acsah married Othniel, her uncle.
But what did that matter now? Her husband (and the first of the Judges) goes to war.
It was the time of the Judges and everyone did what was right in their own eyes.

There is no digital work in this image which was photographed on Tri-X film with a Mamiya 645
VERY nice. And with what might be part of the studio, it's like three worlds are converging rather than two. Full of emotion, which is so needed in great images.
I love the expression on his face and the thicket beside him. It looks like he is off to battle although his cloak gives him a princely mein. My only qualm with the picture is her outfit: something in it looks too modern for me, but I can't really place my finger on what precisely it is. Maybe the skirt? Either way, the idea is well executed and awesome.
