St. Margaret of Scotland

This morning I was privileged to photograph the Stations of the Cross at  St. Margaret of Scotland Parish in the Shaw Neighborhood  of St. Louis.  Before I finished I wanted to shoot images to produce an HDR photograph of the main altar and sanctuary.  This church holds some very special memories for me and it was wonderful to be present there.  I thought sharing this photo may provide a glimpse into the beauty of the house of prayer.  Thank you to Fr. W. for allowing me to bring my camera inside!  (Also a special thanks to Carmela and Colleen!)

More fog in St. Louis for the next few days. I hope I can make it out for a photo adventure before it blows away…


Grand Basin



After a mighty few weeks of frigid temperatures St. Louis is beginning to thaw.  The children were off school on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King day so we took a little walk around Forrest Park in the afternoon fog.

The Grand Basin is located at the foot of Art Hill in front of the Art Museum in Forest Park.  The park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. At 1,293 acres, it is approximately 500 acres larger than Central Park in New York.  In 1904, St. Louis held the World’s Fair and drew more than 20 million visitors from around the world to Forest Park.
