I shot this last summer at Lakewood Catholic Academy, formerly St. Augustine Academy, my fiancee’s alma mater in Lakewood, Ohio. She was showing me around the campus when I saw this statue of Mary. It struck me like no statue I had ever seen. She looked weathered and tired; an old soul that has been worn by the weight of the world.

Inspired by the religious art of my visit to Italy in December 2007, i was compelled to create the depiction of the spiritual battle that is happening in our world… every second of every day. Someone is in a battle manifested in countless forms. But there is life and with life there is always hope. ‘The Battle’ is symbolic of the journey and the challenges faced to reach freedom. After we have fought the good fight there will be victory and as we fall to our knees, we are drawn to the One… who has saved us. Take the messages as they come to you. The aim was to create a universal piece of art that speaks the language of the heart. This vector artwork is currently not for sale but if you are interested i’d love to hear from you.

St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe Sitting in the center of the town square in Santa Fe, New Mexico stands the St. Francis of Assisi Church. Built between the years of 1869-1886, it sits on an earlier site of a church built in 1626. This was a REALLY hard shotto pull off as the town center square is filled with people so I had to act quickly. I fired off 3 brackets handheld for the HDR and metered at the bricks on teh church…hoping this was going to work….I think it did. Thoughts most welcomed! / —John http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/2720872

Built around 1815 this church in the hills of Chimayo, New Mexico, is considered a masterpiece of colonial folk art and architecture and has been deemed a National Historic Landmark. Famed for its miraculous cross and the healing powers of the soil, the Prayer Room is filled with candles, cards & crude hand made shrines as well as crutches and braces testifying to miracles. Directly across the road they sell the best chili powder money can buy. /

View from inside the Cocathedral St-Antoine-de-Padoue in Longueuil, Quebec built between 1884 and 1887. / This beautiful construction of gothic inspiration has been designed by two architects, Albert Mesnard and Henri-Maurice Perrault. There are two asymmetrical towers in front, a very rare occurrence in Canada, although there are a few in France. Stairway to Heaven was featured in Historic Churches on November 7, 2008.

part of the Orthodox Christian Soldier series ENCYCLOPEDIA LITAE (Litai), a personification of the prayers offered up in repentance. They are described as the daughters of Zeus, and as following closely behind crime, and endeavouring to make amends for what has been done; but whoever disdains to receive them, has himself to atone for the crime that has been committed. (Hom. Il. ix. 502, &c.; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 768; Hesych. s. v. Aigai, calls them Aetae, which however is probably only a mistake in the name.)

This is at the peak of a trail called Stations of the Cross (Le Calvaire) in Oka Provincial Park (Quebec, Canada). The hike is 4.5 km in length return, and the highlight is a lookout point on the mountain. The trail was developed in 1742 by the Sulpician priests and is considered a Canadian historic site. Many chapels are erected along the route but I found that these two stood out as I reached the top.

Have you ever wondered about those who nailed Jesus to the cross? My guess is they were ordinary men just doing the job they were hired to do, but something else tells me they were never the same after. The Sacred Blood spilled onto their hands and penetrated their souls, washing them clean from all stain of sin. The Sacred Gaze penetrated their hearts, not with condemnation but with love. And the Sacred Lips whispered, “Forgive them, Father; they don’t know what they’re doing.” I took this photo at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Houston, Texas, and when I took a good look at it, I realized Jesus seemed to be anything but the center of attention. Maybe he wanted me to consider his executioners and maybe he wanted to remind me, “It was all for them; it was all for you. They drove the nails, but I laid down my life willingly so that they, so that you could live.”
