THE WAY TO GO. DONE.
I have to admit: there were even more photos than shown here. I have to admit: because I hadn't showered before starting this endeavor I thought about starting completely over. I have to admit: I thought about how with photo editing the possibilities were endless.
Notes produced - real time.
I saved the church bulletin the Sunday after I took ALL these photos. "Forgive our self-importance. Forgive us. Teach us to be humble."
