* Gabriel's Legacy * - Jason Fitzpatrick

The old mission church in downtown Kalamazoo has a wonderful organ set. The pastor let me wander around one lazy sunday and take pictures of the stain glass windows, and other interesting details of the church. This by far and away was the most interesting shot.

I used a Sony F707, and color corrected/monochromed the image in Photoshop.

Please post your comments! Thank you :)

Thanks, Jason. May try to find it sometime. Bev

Sure I'd be happy to tell you the location... You'll have to forgive me for not remembering the exact name of the church. I know it is an american lutheran church. It is located right off stadium downtown. If you are in the church square you won't see it directly because of the way its positioned. If you walk from the church square towards stadium (the mainstreet going through downtown kalamazoo) you'll see it. It is a huge white stucco mission style church with a very tall bell tower. Its directly across the street from a newstand and coffee shop if that helps any :)

Nice one Jason. I think this image works very well in B&W. You have converted it well. It has plenty of contrast without blowing details away. Well done.

A good and impresionant (?) picture.

Jason, I love your capture of these pipes; one can just imagine the sound coming from them! I live an hour from Kalamazoo and last summer spent an afternoon photographing the architectural details of the three churches in "Church Square". Didn't get inside any of them, though. Could you tell me the location of this church? Bev

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

Jason, I like the interesting mix and angle of the vertical/horizontal pipes here. Your perspective and B&W tones almost make it look futuristic IMO. Neat effect...& a good idea. MFC

(*) Jason, I would enjoy photographing this lovely organ from many different angles & perspectives, if possible. I imagine there are some more nice images waiting to be found in this subject.

Great Picture, now, say 3 Hail Mary's, 3 Our Fathers, and polish the pipes.
