All Souls At Easter

          As someone who defines their character by being a non conformist? I've never actually tackled any photographic subject matter on this blog that related to religion. Especially as I am not myself a religious person in terms of personality type.  That being said? It is Easter coming up. And churches are often some of the most artistically beautiful structures human beings bring themselves to construct. For this year? I decided to bring you a thorough exploration of the All Souls Congressional
Church,a Presbyterian perish on Oak Street in Bangor,Maine. Enjoy this and to all celebrating? Happy Easter! 

Florida Room-A Hot & Sunny Blast From The Past!

                Six years shy of a month from exactly now,on the final weekend of May of 2010? I embarked on a four day 30th birthday vacation with my family to Florida. We stayed on the Clearwater beach area. And visited different sections of Tampa and the Greek port city of Tarpin Springs (upon recommendation of course) and generally took in this special environment. Something about the bright,sunny tropical atmosphere of this region really helped to awaken the strong Hispanic aspect of my bloodline: a lover of the warmth and sunshine. The photography was breathtaking for me personally. And here's a sample,from my photographic archive,of the people and places I saw along the way. Especially during this contrast between cool and freezing in the Northeast? Enjoy this sunny imagery.

Andre's Lucky Geode!

        With St.Patrick's Day coming here in a few days from this writing? I'm put very much into mind of the Blarney Stone,that famous slab of limestone that according to Celtic mysticism acts as something of a love potion to those who kiss it. It's a beautiful romantic image for Irish culture to the entire world. Considering me and my family's lifelong love of geodes? I decided to create my own type of Blarney Stone legend. In this case a clear rock of many colors and textures-symbolically celebrating diversity and understanding. For those celebrating? Happy St.Patty's Day!
