One thing that immediately becomes apparent as you look at Eva Timothy’s “The Lord Is My Light”collection is that there are hands to lift and feet to wash but very few faces. It is without a doubt an interesting creative decision—so what caused Timothy, a fine art photographer who grew up behind the Iron Curtain, to omit faces in many of her pieces?
