"I'm but a stranger here, heav'n is my home" - my first hymn word picture

Did most of this in a 50 minute burst of lucidity Thursday. Kept waiting for another so I could write about the process which went into it, its some of my most satisfying monochrome work since my darkroom days, but I've not had any since... in fact most of the last 30 hours I've been hallucinating.

So decided I'd best just get these up and out here for folks.

Hope I can post more about in the future.

John 3:16 King James on mirrored heart of leaves and snowdrop flowers - Word Pictures

A request came in for this verse, and it was my greatest challenge. Through all my thousands of photos, I've yet to capture an Image of God yet... not in the most literal sense.

(If you understand why I had to make that caveat regarding the Imago Dei , you need to take a trip outside the hallowed halls of ecclesiastical buildings.)

Time was short, the need was urgent, my mental horsepower was down around zero, so this was the path of least resistance, but it turned out quite well.

I will do a version in portrait orientation and one with a modern English translation (probably ESV) sometime soon I hope.
