One of my little pet projects is photographing churches, starting with my neighborhood. So far I have been partially successful on the outset. One of my favorite places is Grace Church in Maryland Heights, Missouri, which is HUGE I might add, and joyously open during days when it isn't a Services day; coming from a small town and my personal belief that God is always open as were the churches where I grew up, a closed church drives me crazy nuts to say the least.
I am always amazed at the enormity of Grace Church, which contains not only the congregational area, but a cafeteria, bookstore, student bible study area, auditorium, gymnasium, and family services area. I have yet to actually photograph services etc, but I always make a point to photograph the Grace Cross, trying to emphasize its largeness.
