The exuberant Father Mike blesses the congregation at the beginning of the Palm Sunday vigil Mass. (I have already been lectured by my daughter about whipping out my iPhone in church; but I promise that after this, I put it in my pocket. I was the narrator for the Passion, so I had to pay attention.) At any rate, the photo was processed in PhotoForge & PhotoBag--after church!
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Thanks for re posting...I was just about to e-mail you to say your comments wasn't working. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had your phone in church...another awesome image of a wonderful tradition...you captured it wonderfully!
I'm with your daughter! If we had whipped out our DSLs in church you would be at the front when they stoned us at the altar!.
ReplyDeleteNice capture! We have a local priest named Father Eric who is also exuberant! You've captured the celebration mood so well.
ReplyDeleteI like the sense of motion in this picture.
