    I look at this and I can feel the sun. See myself standing in the middle of that church watching the sun shoot shafts along the floor. I would love to walk around with you one full day and just watch and see what you do and how you do it, in order to capture these brilliant fracking photos. They seem so effortless, yet I KNOW a lot of heart and work must go into them.
