There's something about Palmer Chapel that keeps drawing me back.  I know I still have at
least a few more pictures to make there.  This one was shot when I was showing the
Cataloochee Valley off to a couple of friends from France.  I hadn't meant to shoot anything
but some digital snapshots, but when we went into the church, I saw the Bible in a new way,
and went back to the car for the 4x5.  The light was low enough, that I wasn't sure it was in
focus until I saw the negative, and the exposure was 4 minutes at f/32 after allowing for
reciprocity failure and bellows factor.  Some other people wanted to come into the church
during the exposure, and I asked them to wait.  I guess we were all still enough.  Whew!

As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a
white mat.  If you would like
to order unframed prints,
go to the "Purchase" page
for pricing.
