Amish Go Round
This young, Amish lad took a spin on the carousel. I’m sure he is quite familiar with real horses. His father was seated on the steed to his left; out of the camera’s view.
I snapped this photo during a family visit to the Columbus, Ohio Zoo. I was trying to capture images of my own grandchildren on the ride and this little guy kept popping into the frame. I didn’t feel any of the photos I was going for of my own grandchildren turned out to be great, artistic works, but I really like this one.

I Stand at the Door and Knock
One of the spectacular stained glass windows found in the sanctuary of the Centerburg Christian Church in Centerburg, Ohio. These, priceless, hand-painted windows date back to 1911.
This is just one of four very large stained glass windows, (and a number of smaller windows) that grace this church sanctuary. Each of large windows depict a Biblical teaching. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to post more in the future. A big, Thanks!, to Pastor Jeff Perry and the members of his flock for allowing me access to the building to capture and share the beauty and majesty of their stained glass.
The process to get this image was difficult. This windows are so large, I had to photograph them in sections. To process them I had to stitch the individual photos together and then try to correct the natural distortion that comes from the lens and the angles inherent in photographing a large scene at close range. I spent many hours on this one image and it is filled with flaws. Still, the beauty created, more than a hundred years ago, by the stained glass artists overshadows any flaws in my processing. Hopefully, with more practice, I’ll improve my process.
This is definitely an image you will want to look at enlarged, to witness the incredible color and detail in this glass. Click on the image and a full-screen version will open in a new browser tab. Then be sure and click on the photo again and it will enlarge more for an even closer look.
