White Churches

The photographer Carl Weese along with the lesser known such as Ansel Adams Edward Weston and Papa Fassbender continue to provide inspiration to me as a picture maker. Carl has a section on his web site called “White Churches”. I like all of his work but this section just knocked me out. His images were floating around in my brain when I stopped to get the mail in our local post office. We use PO boxes here. Across the street from the post office is St. Theresa’s Catholic Church. I go to mass there often. I try to keep a camera with me and on this day I had my trusty Canon G3 under the seat. So I got this shot. Now when you go to Carl’s site and look at his white churches you will notice that the images are just as Carl found them. Telephone poles wires and warts and bugs. That is his style. Not mine. I have to “clean it up”. I removed a no parking sign, telephone wires, trash on the ground etc., etc. Check out Carl’s web site and his blog spot. http://carlweese.com, Working Pictures,http://www.workingpictures.blogspot.com
