i photographed father rooney today ... he's leaving monroe for another parish in temperance. we talked more than we worked on making a picture and i mentioned i was from west michigan. "ah you're a calvin" he stated confidently, must be there are a lot of Calvinists in west michigan or something ... i told him i was methodist (which was a white lie because i don't belong to a church, but like methodist the best) lying in church ... to a reverend ... i better pray tonight before bed. he told me he's from belfast ireland (he has a gorgeous accent) and preceded to give a wonderful history lesson in religion there and how the methodists kind of acted like neutral Switzerland for both the Protestant and Catholic churches there. i've been pushing myself to take better portraits, i'm happy with this one.
