"This first image, entitled 'Thorns For The Crown' was captured using a Canon EOS 30D with a Sigma 35-75 lens at F8 1/125 with an ISO 800 setting. Part of a self-assigned photo shoot I recently did called Finding Faith. An arrangement on the walls of an historical Episcopal church I attend occasionally, I relate it to the crown of thorns Jesus wore on the cross. The image is post-processed in Adobe CS5 for toning and effects, and will be printed on a Fine-Art Matte paper or Arches Watercolor paper (which is one of my favorites for images like this)."

My second image is entitled 'Strength of Character'. Canon EOS 30D - Sigma 35-75, ISO 160, F16 @ 1/125 with 18mm focal length. This old barn is surrounded by chain link fencing, prohibiting me from closer contact and forcing me to shoot from an upward perspective to avoid the distraction of the fencing. I love the character of old buildings and saw great strength in this barn. The image is post-processed in CS5 to achieve an infrared effect and will be printed on a Fine-Art matte photo paper.
