Ruined Archangel

Finished this new print in time for the Halloween art show at the Flat Iron Arts Building. This one is called “Ruined Archangel”. This old church is an ruined village in the mountains on a island called Kefalonia in Greece. The earthquake in 1953 destroyed the old village and most of the houses and this church were abandoned and the village moved about a half kilometer down the mountain.  This church was the named after the Archangel Michael and some of the elderly villages will still put lit candles in the little alcove outside the church. 

I left the image is intentionally left dark to give the print the abandoned and a sad feeling that nothing is their now that the church is near completely overgrown. The gorgeous sunset is a stark juxtaposition to the old church and feel the contrast. The leading lines of the retaining wall at the bottom and the mountains in the background are all supposed to draw your eye back to the old decaying church and leave you emotionally attached to the church. The image is also scaled to 16×9 to give it a wide screen feel.

Blue Convictions

Shot in a small village in Kefalonia Greece, this is where my family and I are from. The small bell tower against the empty mountain ranges behind it give this piece a feeling of loneliness and isolation. The Greek flag pops out and I wanted this to show the pride people have no matter how far they are away from the Capital.

Buckingham Reflected

I had taken a series of images of Buckingham Fountain throughout the evening and night. I was standing where I took this shot earlier in the evening and the wind changed and I was getting wet from the fountain so I moved to the other side for most of the other shots. As I packed everything up and was walking back to the car, when walked by here and saw the reflection of the fountain on the ground. I unpacked everything and set up to take another set of pictures.

I’m very happy with this image and I cropped it to fit a 16×9 format giving it that little bit of a theatrical look and with the vivid colors this picture easily became the star of the images from that night.
