Photographer's Journal: The Quarry

        
            
Home of the Wounded Healer II

So... this is three photographs stitched together in Photoshop--a "pano" in photog lingo. This is not a perfect job of stitching. I can see one of the seams. But I'm not telling where because I doubt if any of you will be able to see it!

But I want to try something a bit different. I want to make some pano landscapes where I stitch the images together like this, but don't line up the horizontal edges. Kind of like the WATERLINE montages. I like the idea of drawing attention to how the camera frame interrupts reality.

And this location is, of course, my beloved quarry.

An Altar in the World

                            
                                     
Dances with Wind


I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.

What's Saving Her Life Right Now

            
                
The Shining Word "And" I

"And" teaches us to say "yes"
"And" allows us to be both-and
"And" teaches us to be patient and long-suffering
"And" is willing to wait for insight and integration

Things Unseen

                  
                          
Wing


I lay my wing
As a bridge to you

So that you can join us
Singing.
