Church & World Trade Center

When I took this, at least ten years ago, it was just a contrast in shapes.

I always thought that the World Trade Center complex was an awful design and I'm sure that was in my head when I did this contrast with the nearby church.

Here was this tiny, ancient looking church - Greek Orthodox I think - with the towering ultra-modern WTC behind it. And there was a slight touch of light on the Church as well. That's all it was. How history changes things. The little church and the mighty towers - both gone. The world changed forever.

I'm learning my way with the wacom tablet. Fun. For someone with a surreal imagination, this is a great diversion from the so-called real world. At any rate - a while back I did some montages which were getting out-of-hand in terms of processing power, and one of the reasons I wanted the new pc was to be able to finish those montages. I especially want to work on the street shot which was composed of about fifty layers, each with a different object taken in various weather over the course of a few weeks. I also have the printer now so that it can be done at a respectable size which that type of montage needs.
