Sacred Spaces

I’m starting a collection of photographs I’ve taken of places that I, or others, consider to be sacred. I think our informal culture has lost a sense of the sacred and by that I don’t necessarily mean a location like an elaborate cathedral (it could be for you, but I find them cold). It might be a church, synagogue, mosque, grave of a loved one, or just a quiet place in nature where you sense God’s presence. I’m particularly intrigued by how sacred spaces are influenced by a particular faith, and how that space in turn helps to shape that faith and impact the adherents.

The project started as an assignment for a photography class and when I presented it, the professor told me he thinks it will be my Mona Lisa and I’ll be adding to it throughout my life. I think he’s right.

It’s located on the Pics page, or you can get to it directly through this link.
