Some shots from my third (with Punchy) and fourth (with Digital Cow and Digilily) trips to this place.


This place is becoming a popular spot for the homeless.

Really... Makes sense I guess, since it's kinda huge--way bigger than it looks from your shots here or from the street--lots of room for homeless folks to spread out.

I loved seeing this place. The nave (except for that unfortunate ceiling) is gorgeous. Thanks for showing it to me.

I'm personally not typically a fan of churches but your angles in the main chapel are primo. Nice!

Great shots of the light. What camera do you use?

I enjoyed showing ya around. You'll have to come back down to check some of the stuff outside of town sometime


Yeah, there is someone sleeping towards the front of the nave and some squats in the sunday school rooms. You don't have to go through that window any more either.

Thanks! Pentax K3, the wide angles were shot with a Sigma 10-20mm and the close ups were shot with a Pentax 55-300mm.

That first shot is awesome! what lens did you use to get that? I really like the others as well showing the DoF. That is a great place with open spaces and you captured it well.



Still working on it...

Thanks m8, it was a Pentax 55-300mm lens. I rarely take it with me, but it's nice for getting some different style of shots than I normally take.

This place is filled with trash now. Also a full drum set and some bongo drums.

Nothing worse than a neo-beatnik infestation... except neo-hippies.



Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.
