Response to Generation Gap (1)

from edward kang (ekang@cse.nd.edu)
I like this picture much better than the last one, but I still don't think the titles really apply to the pictures. The "Waiting for God" title didn't really make sense to me as a Christian, even philosophically. The title "Generation Gap"...well, I can see it more, but it's still not quite there. As a 24 year old, I've noticed the generation gap in congregations manifests itself in much differently that simply that of age - it's more one of attitude - activeness and willing to serve vs. passivity and a desire for security. I just don't see that displayed here.

I think a tendency towards symmetry works best when dealing with extremely busy architectural shots - for example - church interiors. The close human subject breaks down the stark horizontals and verticals - it adds a human touch to a fairly meaningless lone structure.

Then again, I'm being one of those retarded deconstructive philosophers. I like the pic. I think it's great to take pictures for the sake of serendipity. It's the sort of photography that is expensive and utterly enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. I have to post some of mine, sometime, darn it :)
