The mass of The Lord's Supper is a humbling, thought provoking and prayerful experience to which I am honored to be able to contribute.

I consider it my own form of 'sacrament' to be allowed to photograph these masses for the Diocese of Scranton. Especially starting today through the culmination of Lent in the church calendar at Easter.

Embarking on a melancholy project like this is like attending the funeral of an old friend who lived a good life, but you’re never going to be the same without him.

It's been far too long since I posted anything but this one is important! Some of you may know, I started a fine-art project during the Covid shutdowns themed: "Beautiful Dancers-Beautiful Spaces Around Northeastern PA". This project was intended to provide a creative outlet and purpose for idle young dance students of our area during those cold, dark days; working tirelessly with carefully repeated attempts long into the night; these kids along with their devoted parents helped me produce beautiful dance art.

Life priorities and just living a more fulfilling life have prevented me from adding to the project til now but it IS back in the works, to be released sometime in 2023.
Here is my centerpiece image entitled 'ELECTRIC THEIA' featuring the spectacular athleticism of my first and most loyal model, Samy (with help of her adoring mom, Gina of course) rising from the smoke to a glorious ascent on the lawn of the Lackawanna County Courthouse with the iconic Scranton Electric Building towering above her. Please watch for more posts as I finish out this project and announce the exhibit when I have all my work complete!

Here's a leaf I saw coming through my back yard tonight.
