I&#8217;m one who believes that everything happens for a reason; you may not always realise it at that time or won&#8217;t until much later. Take, for example, Southside Community Church; my family attended the church briefly when it first opened, but I became attached even attending Sunday School there before going to Knox later that Sunday morning. In High School thanks to a coworker of my mom, I went to the youth group there also, met many friends, or older siblings of those who would become friends. Then into college, I started to go to a Bible Study through the church, again through an old friend I met at the youth group. And while the original group moved churches, it was another friend who through a sneaky little way invited me back to the study group. Again you think nothing of it, well it was through that group that I met Heather, who you all know became my wife. Now if you follow these things, you&#8217;ll know that this building no longer holds Southside Church, the church (that is the people) moved into the historic downtown of Milton, but I never attended church in their new building in any big way. So my memories of Southside will always be rooted here, despite the church having moved. I&#8217;ll admit this was a tough image to shoot, the day I was out had a flat grey sky with little contrast between it and the cross on the roof of the building. Rather than use my standard method of metering the shadows I wanted the detail in and under-exposing by a stop, I averaged the highlights (the cross) and the shadows (the vestibule under the word community) and hoped that between the FP4+ and Pyrocat-HD that it would work. And it did, I didn&#8217;t lose the cross in the sky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People, Places, and Things they all intersect with our lives in various ways and at multiple times, all according to a plan.
