Having been especially impacted by a reading of this book several years ago, I’m intrigued by the detail on this photograph of an original 1746 edition of Edwards’ Religious Affections (housed in the Billy Graham Museum in Wheaton, IL).

Perhaps the most moving picture of the year. The morning after the 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis/St. Paul I grabbed my camera and headed downtown. Blocked off by the winding channel of the river below and a deep valley, the bridge was pretty much hidden from sight (especially with a police line backing onlookers in all directions). I found one solitary place where one end of the collapsed bridge was visible and I took time to sit and watch across a parking lot as couples, friends, and individual college students pulled up and stared into the distance. As onlookers peered out I could not help but think of the frailty of our lives. The scene was very quite and calm.

Same concert. Love the Mac pose, the 3Day logo, the beach ball, and the boy on his dad’s shoulders.

The one hobby I really enjoy is photography. And so I thought this week I’ll sift through some pics from 2007 that have become my favorites.
Here is the first shot to pass along.
On August 17, 2007 my son Jonathan and I joined my friend Adam Brachle at the Higher Ground Music Festival (near Minneapolis). With my 400mm Sigma glass, I pulled in tight on the band. One of my favorites from the show was this snap of Mac Powell. The details on the Rickenbacker turned out nice on the enlargements …
