Bethlehem, PA - November 2005 (Click to embiggen)
subject this week really had me digging in the archives.
The whole subject of glass -- in all it's forms -- was strangely exciting. This shot is from a church in Bethlehem, PA that was undergoing renovations.

is a little different kind of church. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Not an especially great day lighting wise, though. Elsewhere in Cleveland is this building that was too far away for me to tell what it housed.

after dark is actually a pretty safe place. If you're 14 stories up at least. And it offers some interesting perspectives from that altitude as well. For instance this building -- which is close to the Eastman Kodak building, or an ordinary bus stop. But there's glass everywhere -- even on the ground.

then it occurred to me that glass doesn't always take the form of windows in a building.Sometimes it takes the form of an eye on the world.

In this case, that's quite literally true. This old Fujica belonged to my grandfather -- a career army NCO -- who carried it through the Korean and Vietnam wars. Both he and the camera returned home relatively intact.

At the other end of the technology scale you see the business end of a Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L telephoto which has never seen combat, but
has captured a few hockey games.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving you nice comment -- it was very encouraging. The shots you have here are terrific. I love architecture and the use of glass, especially the thick leaded stained glass portals in old churches. Yet the same material that adds such beauty to buildings allows us to see the buildings and to capture the images. Wow!
