Mourning

This one is actually creepier in long shot, and especially from behind, with those big holes in her back. Those shots are up at Flickr.

Bellefontaine, Ohio

Radio spot for Halloween

Donovan - Season of the Witch

Lou Rawls (yes that's right) - Season of the Witch

And this has nothing to do with Halloween, but I just got back from a great show and the thing that makes it even vaguely relevant here is that it was such a treat for the ears, and the eyes provided it. You see, I won my ticket to the show through a photography contest sponsored by the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts; and the fun of it is that I spent the show sitting directly under the subject of my winning shot.

So let me share a little something from the groups that performed:

Blind Boys of Alabama - Take My Hand

and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (who really blew me away) - Bourbon Street Parade

Lock

One half of the "town" known as Lock, Ohio. The other half, across the street, is a general store that also looks closed, though more recently; there's a plastic Coke sign of dubious vintage on it.

Blind Boys of Alabama - Good Religion

Mohican

Loudonville, Ohio

Blind Boys of Alabama - Last Month of the Year

Stained glass, circa 1965

Christ the King Catholic Church
Livingston Ave.
Columbus, Ohio

On this day, I saw the sun coming through the windows and realized for the first time, that they are stained glass; they've always been so dark when I passed them, that I never knew.

So here's a little gospel:
