portraits in progress …

I first met Monroe Chase at Trinity Church as well. Robert Yearwood, the subject of my first portraits in progress, may even have introduced us but most likely Monroe introduced himself with his hand outstretched. Active in different ways with organizations like the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and Trinity’s Education for Excellence Program, Monroe’s generosity, good nature and thoughtful insights are always an inspiration to me.

One of my mid-year photographic challenges is to photograph more people. Perhaps a post each Sunday? We’ll see … I begin with Robert Yearwood. At some point I may pair stories/brief interviews with these images. Given that Mr. Yearwood has been in this world since 1938, he has a lot of stories to tell. I first met him at Trinity Church. I’ve learned a lot from him about patience, letting things go, and especially an idea that I have rephrased a bit — that all who enter a place, regardless of age, race, gender, or creed, the clothes upon their backs or the lack thereof, all shall be equally greeted. Whenever I want to be … not nice to someone … I try to remember that idea. 🙂

enduring beauty, a brief slideshow

Morning light falling on the north wall of the nave in Trinity Church in the City of Boston. It has been my pleasure to photograph the stained glass windows over the years but this particular morning I focused my camera on the decorative features of one wall. Zooming in you can see the elegance of the design orchestrated by John La Farge. The ravages of time are present and so is the enduring beauty of an architectural masterpiece.

exploring lines

The sun was setting producing that wonderful bright low light that spills into the living room through my rippled window. I sat across the room peering through that window. I happened to have my camera set to black and white. As I contemplated whether or not there was something to photograph as the light faded away, I noticed how that light outlined and framed the nearby floor lamp. That is the origin of this picture.
