That is the theme of the May/June 2013 issue of Alive Now, a lovely, thought-provoking bimonthly publication.  I am honored to have the above photo appearing in an issue addressing a topic that affects perhaps all people in different ways.  On the magazine website, there is a section called Visual Psalmists where the photographers in each issue tell the story behind their images.  The May/June stories may not be up yet, so for now I’ll just share that I took this photo on a marina in Miami years ago while waiting to meet up with friends.  I sat on a bench, turned my head, and there it was in silhouette.

Today there is an interfaith service taking place in Boston at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. All faiths, all peoples, are welcome to come together to continue the healing process.

It is a grand space.  I was lucky enough to visit in the recent past to photograph a bit of the interior.  Like today, it was a sunny day, with light shining through, creating warmth.

Regardless of one’s faith, if you’re in the area in the future, I’d encourage a visit, if only to sit in the calm.

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of Nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances … nature brings solace for every trouble.” — Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

This winter, I’ve been lucky enough to continue photographing the interior and exterior artwork of Trinity Church in Copley Square, Boston.

Trinity is considered one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the United States.  It sits in the center of the City of Boston in an area known as the Back Bay.  If you are ever in the Boston area, I highly recommend a visit to view in person this beautiful structure.  Inside you will find represented the great stained glass artists including John La Farge, Edward Burne-Jones and Margaret Redmond.  Above is a scene from one of her stained glass windows, depicting King Solomon.  I’m pleased to share that this image is available as a postcard in The Shop at Trinity Church, located in the church’s basement.  Future postcards will include this scene from the window Jesus Blessing Little Children by Henry Holiday of London

and this mural by John La Farge depicting the story of Christ and the woman at the well.

The church is located at 206 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts.  The Shop is located in the basement (or undercroft).   You can read more via this link.  Direct line is 617.536.0944 extension 225 for The Shop.
