Faith

dsc_7460_lacathedralbwwebI was shooting some photos at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels –will have a series on that later– when this scene caught my eye. I am not a practicing catholic but I respect people with strong faith. That’s what I sensed there.

Thursday Doors – 09.22.2016

These are some of the doors of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in New York.st-patricksweb-dsc_0037

The door below is St. Patrick’s “Door of Mercy.” The Pope has urged catholics to take the opportunity to obtain a plenary indulgence during the Year of Mercy by passing through a designated Holy Door. stpatricksweb-dsc_0027 stpatricksweb-dsc_0056  st-patrickesweb-dsc_0048stpatricksweb-dsc_0071

Thursday Doors – July 21, 2016

For this week’s Thursday Doors, I am sharing a few captures from the historic colonial mining town of Ouro Preto, in Southeastern Brazil. Ouro Preto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its outstanding Baroque architecture. You can see some of that in the shots.DoorsOuroPreto-Web-09b_008Doors-OuroPreto-Web-10b_015-1  DoorsOuroPreto-Web-10b_010   DoorsOuroPretoWeb-10bb_042Door-OuroPreto-Web-10b_007DoorsOuroPreto-Web-15a_008

Deconstructing Art

Sometimes, when photographing artwork, especially large pieces, I feel compelled to “deconstruct” them in order to better convey the richness of the work.The fountain “Power of the Sea,” by Austrian sculptor Rudolf Weyr, at Michaelerplatz next to the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, is one of them.DetailFountain-Web-DSC_6310DetailTwoFountail-Web-DSC_6308 DetailThreeFountain-Web-DSC_6308FountainWhole-Web-DSC_6308_edited-1FountainContext-Web-DSC_6310
