A Sad Story
Imagine this. A old church. Someone broke the very old stained glass windows. Now I am not a religious church going type but I think it is a shame that a piece of history gets vandalized like that.
A Moment in Photographic History:
Another first. Antoine Florence, a French-Brazilian photographer and inventor, was born February 29, 1804. He has a couple of firsts. One is that he was another inventor of a negative/positive process. Another first is that he referred to his process, in French, as photographie in 1834, at least four years before John Herschel coined the English word photography.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.

Quite often around here, people will go into cemeteries and topple and break gravestones. I find it so, so disrespectful as people have very deep and personal feelings of their loved ones resting and are traumatized by such blatant vandalism. It really upsets me. The vandals are rarely caught and since they are often youth nothing would happen anyway.

It is sad when people do stuff like this.
I like how incredibly tall you make the church with the perspective you shot it from.

No, she was there. I took her on a little road trip. She shot hers first so I am the copycat.

Great comp, terrific angle of view. And I like the processing. It fits the mood and your story well.

Nice perspective, although it’s slightly twisted, but that got me wondering what it would be like really twisted:)
I see what you mean about the pesky dust spots, but a s I mentioned you should be able to clone them out.
