Keeping the Faith

Most of my pictures thus far have been portrait shot. I did take a portrait shot of this Pastor but I agree with most of my classmates and prefer the perspective shot the most. My roommate Birgit and I attended the Sunday mass at the Berliner Dom. The interior was breath taking and gorgeous especially the enormous organ on the second story. After services both pastors stood outside of the doors in the foyer, shook visitors hands and thanked them for coming. It took a while to get a shot like this because there was a line of people who wanted to shake his hand and people were constantly moving around him. This picture works well because he is in focus and he is the person that I wanted to highlight while the others are blurry from being in motion. I have just enough of the pastor's uniform that you can tell what is going on in the picture without it being too obvious. I did talk to him and told him that I enjoyed the service very much. I shook his hand and asked if I could take his picture. He was very nice and also very happy to help. This church is visited by many tourist and I have a feeling he gets asked that question a lot all in all it was a fun experience. What a vast contrast in work environments from break dancing along Unter den Linden and preaching in the Berliner Dom!
