Window's Light on Wooden Cross by Sue Schwartz (Photograph, 2005)
St. Paul's Episcopal
- Bound Brook, New
Jersey sueschwartz@att.net
I love to look at the symbols and the artwork of our
stained glass windows but I also enjoy how their color
reaches inside. This wooden cross is only used during
Holy Week and is usually placed just outside our narthex.
When I had a chance to be alone I brought it in to the
sanctuary and moved this very heavy cross from place
to place taking lots of pictures and trying lots of
things. When my favorite cross caught my favorite light
I just stopped and took this picture over and over.
This picture seems so peaceful and at the same time
joyful.
I am a Mother, Social Worker and life long Anglican
living in New Jersey with my boys and husband. I have
always loved photography. A few years ago my whole family
realized I was taking so many pictures it just made
sense to buy me a digital camera. They were absolutely
right and now I carry a camera with me everywhere everyday.
Sometimes the camera helps me see the things I feel.
Sometimes I take the same picture over and over and
it takes such a long time to get in print what I want
to see. Sometimes the moments I catch are a total surprise
and a blessing.
