“Why pears?” you ask. Why not? I’m working on a light painting project and the first assignment was the painted pear. It was lit with a small tungsten flashlight. Thanks to Cara, my fearless comrade who held a diffuser and painted the light at the same time!
This has been a much more subtle approach for me. I like to write with LED lights and have been asking bridal parties to give it a try. I’m nearly done with editing those weddings and will post them soon…
I visited the Church of the Assumption in Bellevue, Pa., on Saturday and was amazed by the beauty of this Roman Catholic church. It’s easy to see from the church’s exterior that it is a beautiful church, but I did not realize how breath-taking it really is until stepping inside.
My footsteps echoed in the large sanctuary. I can only imagine trying to keep children quiet during a service, because whispers are easily audible in this vast space. I found myself tiptoeing to keep from making too much noise.
This beautiful organ and stained glass window shine brightly at mid-day.
One thing that struck me about this church is that it had deposit boxes built into the walls with hand-painted letters that read, “For the poor.” They were located near all exits. It was surprising in such a grandiose building and comforting all the same.
