Um…I don’t think I understand the title. OK, I know I don’t understand the title. Where I come from a meth lab is an extremely bad thing. Because I am ignorant, could you please explain why this title with this picture? Thanks!
I am just playing with the word. A “meth lab” typically refers to a “methamphetamine laboratory” – a place where the drug is cooked up. I am thinking of this meeting house as a “methodist laboratory,” where (at least historically) a disciplined life of following Jesus was developed. No offense intended.
No offense taken. I was just curious as to what you meant. I had figured it was a play on words, but had never thought of Methodist. The more I think about it, the more I like the graphic illustration implied. We should want to get “high” on Christ so often that we will do whatever it takes to get closer to Him. It is sort of a backhanded way of saying it, but I like it. Thanks for the clarification!
great photo. the composition is great and i laughed out loud as soon as i read the caption.
Nice B+W shot Joe.
Looks like you have some vignetting at the corners – perhaps an ultra wide angle lens was used? A 20mm?
Those darn phone lines…
Thanks Papias. I was using a 18-125mm lens. As for the phone lines, I am learning to like what’s there. It’s to easy for me to regret what is or isn’t in the shot.
“I am learning to like what’s there. It’s to easy for me to regret what is or isn’t in the shot.”
I used to get annoyed by the stuff that I saw “invading” my picture, stuff like telephone poles, etc. But I’ve come to the realization that if they are present, they as much a part of the picture as the focal point. We crop what we can, set up the shot to avoid things we don’t like, but I think we need to embrace the entire image we capture.
