interlude extra: the art of ludwig aloysius joutz »

so close and yet so far …

December 21, 2015 by Cynthia

I will not likely make my goal of photographing by Christmas day all eighteen Burne-Jones angels in the stained glass windows known as the Christmas Windows at Trinity Church in the City of Boston. The logistics are just not going to work out. But …

… it has been a delightful exercise. As I review what I did accomplish, new ideas are forming.

I think I shall consider this attempt a “first draft.” We’ll see what unfolds in the new year. 😉

The horn players look so pensive.

Very, very cool! Better to take your time, don’t you think. Everything will work out as intended in the end. 🙂

I like this sentence: “As I review what I did accomplish, new ideas are forming.” That’s the best! And I’ve certainly enjoyed what you did, look forward to more.
