Saint Henry (Archive)



Sill more from the old archive. I took these sometime ago. I was not all that happy with the pictures and wanted to come back and do a re-shoot. However, every time I've come back to take pictures the church has been busy.



I case you are wondering about all the archive post. I am running low on disk space so I am trying to kill two birds with one stone. Get back in the grove of posting for the Cross Tipped Church blog and clean up my hard-drive.



I want to start fresh when I start taking pictures again. I am going to change the way I post and the format once again. I will cover that in more detail in my September Weekly Journal post when I make it.

September Weekly Journal 2009


Welcome to my Weekly Journal. Each month I create a post to collect my thoughts and meanderings for the month.
01/09/09 Journal Entry

OOPS! - Well it's hard to miss the format change. I wasn't planning on changing the template just yet but I missed click while checking out different templates and well there you have it. I am still working out a few kinks. I wanted to change from full page back to a more narrow version because I wanted to make it easier for me to make short but sweet post. I also removed the Read More option. I plan on adopting a one to two picture post with a small summary. I am hoping this will help me keep the blog fresh and not go stale waiting for the next marathon post. Before I do that I will continue to post pictures I have taken but never posted. I've got about another weeks worth of postings so far. I really liked my original Cross Tipped Church header but could not get it to work with the new format. I will see what Tyler and I can come up with for the new look.

Words of Encouragement - Your comments and E-Mails are important to me. I recently received two very nice E-Mails that helped get me back on track with the Cross Tipped Church Blog. Thank You

Sacred Heart of Jesus (Archive)



Still exploring my hard-drive for pictures from the past. The Sacred Heart of Jesus was one of the first Churches I visited when I started taking pictures.

Saint Wendelin



Still pulling pictures from the archive as I try and gear back up on taking pictures of churches for the Cross Tipped Church Blog. I could have swore I took several pictures of the outside of this church but I cannot find them. These were taken on my one and only visit.







This last one I took on my way out.

Aug. 30, 2009 Another Slow Month

Summer has been busy, between paid photo gigs and life there just has not been much time. I can barely keep up with my other blogs.

The Show/Display of the Cross Tipped Churches for February 2010 at the Amos Memorial Library in Sidney is a go and I have been spending some time planning and getting ready for it. I know Feb 2010 seems like a long ways off but it takes time to put a large show together.

Next Church Photo Shoot - I was hoping to get a chance to take some pictures this weekend of the St. Bernard church, but alas I ran out of time. Plus the weather was not cooperating. Looks like it will have to wait and be my first post in September.

Sidney Applefest - I plan on putting some pictures in this, this year. They have a new category called between the fences that I find very interesting and challenging.

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Archive)



Gee its been so long, I couldn't wait to go take pictures before I made another post. I found these in my archive and decided to make one. These were taken on my first trip inside the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary church. I am pretty sure I have not posted these before.



I am hoping to come back soon and do just a study on the Stations of the Cross. READ MORE...



Here are few of the altar.





This is just one of many wonderful stained glass windows.



Saint Wendelin.



This is the sculpture that anchors each Station of the Cross.



I am hoping to get out soon and get some new pictures with a fresh new outlook.
