    Not My Choice

    There’s been a tendency in the past several years here, for people to purchase abandoned churches at a low price, and convert them into homes.

    This has never sat right with meespecially when the new owners don’t keep up the property.

    My feature photo is one example.

    This was once an original Lutheran church in our city. The last time I was in this church, it was many years ago for my father in law’s funeral.

    When the new Lutheran Church was built, the congregation split and for a few years, both were operating but with very small congregations.

    I don’t know what it is, but something inside of me wouldn’t allow me to have an abandoned church as my residence.

    How about you?

    2016 – Archaic Openings

    After a full day at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, we spent the next day touring Mission San Xavier del Bac, AKA “The White Dove of the Desert”, just 10 miles south of downtown Tucson.

    On this visit, I was preoccupied with photographing doors, windows, gates, and arches … any and all openings at both the mission school and this historic church, completed in 1797.
