Men's Shelter

This shot is one of six that I contributed to a large collection ofnew photos that hang in our church foyer. The theme for the projectwas, "The Church Unleashed," which refers to Christians being turnedloose into the world to do God's work.

This one was printed on standard print paper at about 8x12". Itdepicts the men's shelter of the People's City Mission, a localhomeless shelter. The snow was only a couple hours old, and I wasstruck by the number of foot and bicycle tracks that already blazed atrail up to the shelter's door, underscoring the great need in ourcommunity for places such as this. The lighting that evening was verybland and colorless, so it took a lot of experimenting to produce theimage you see here.

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have.
