The light and lines are amazing!<BR/><BR/>Wasn't there a time when all Catholic churches' doors were open and you could go in without making an appointment? I have the same challenge here, when I want to photograph anything Catholic other than the Basilica or the Cathedral. Of course, at one church I photographed, I can understand why the doors are locked during the day. A few years ago, the bells were stolen from the belfry. No idea how or who, but there you have it. Gone. (Who steals bells, anyway? Is there a special place in hell for that?)Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-66385419780442352082009-01-04T08:40:00.000-08:002009-01-04T08:40:00.000-08:00Love the light and difussion of colourLove the light and difussion of colourJane Hards Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162628972166464736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-42808943069290160882009-01-03T23:38:00.000-08:002009-01-03T23:38:00.000-08:00i like the first shot the light and the shadows ar...i like the first shot the light and the shadows are beautiful :)Babzy.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726884546505964576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-27064115481471732232009-01-03T13:29:00.000-08:002009-01-03T13:29:00.000-08:00I've been poking around my bookmarks for inspirati...I've been poking around my bookmarks for inspiration on what to post once my current exercise in tedium is wrapped up.<BR/><BR/>It turns out that the windows in this church are on the Public Art Registry. Geez Louise!<BR/><BR/>Bob, the cathedral downtown seems to be open most of the time. I think it depends on whether there are sufficient priests, staff or volunteers available to be in the church when it is open. Most probably don't have the resources. <BR/><BR/>I'm grateful I finally worked it out.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763611338613325523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-75399353648062116022009-01-03T06:27:00.000-08:002009-01-03T06:27:00.000-08:00It isn't just this church, it's most churches.

The simple Way of the Cross against the panes is brilliance from the designer.

The St. Louis Cathedral Basilica lets anyone take pictures if a service isn’t going on and you mind your manners. That's someplace I should return to.<BR/><BR/>I particularly like the first picture for its sense of interior light, defining the space. Stained glass has always been hard for me to expose just right. I suppose, as they say, I could look it up.
