rhawn street. visitation (2011)

For several years this billboard near Rhawn Street and Oxford Avenue said simply... "Say One Hail Mary", and now I just noticed today that it has been changed to the face of Mary. No words, no small print message in the lower corner that I could see. Just the face of Mary on a billboard on a busy street in Philadelphia. The glow that reflects from the setting sun is startling and slightly unnerving in the heat of rush hour traffic.
