  • Simon Whittaker replied

    oh, um – ok then. I was just thinking the other day how teams seem to have good periods like we have had followed by wilderness for a while. Sadly, the West Indies don’t seem to have really done much since the late 80’s

    I wouldn’t mind get this printed large but it doesn’t go with our decor at home, still – it is satisfying none the less.

  • netmonk

    netmonk

    Amazing to be able to stand there and capture this beauty!

  • Simon Whittaker replied

    Thanks for that, I was very priviledged to be able to shoot that chapel and it really was awe inspiring. I have read how altars and religeous structures were intentionally designed to be grand and make the viewer feel small and overwhelmed. I am not religeous but felt very small indeed.

  • netmonk

    netmonk

    I never knew about that, thank you for sharing that information! And now thinking about it, all the religious structures I’ve been into did just that, so go figure! :)

  • Simon Whittaker replied

    There you go! Its funny the psychology that goes into all these things isn’t it.

  • netmonk

    netmonk

    Yes it’s absolutely genius and serves it purposes, so definitely a well though out plan. These are the kind of things we all should take in consideration when we are creating our very own masterpieces!

  • Simon Whittaker replied

    Or our own religions!
