“When I Say I’m A Christian”
Made by Linda Austin, Jennifer Lemay, Sharon Thompson, Lynn Wagner, Grace Zielske
The idea for this banner came from an email. It deals with statements made quite often and references to Biblical principles.
In an aged picture I found, half hidden under a rock, there were two comrades in arms... or rather band-aids. For all the warriors, there are always those who save lives - and here they are. PostCon's medics!

"Onion domes are popularly believed to symbolise burning candles. In 1917, noted religious philosopher Prince Yevgeny Trubetskoy argued that the onion shape of Russian church domes may not be explained rationally. According to Trubetskoy, drums crowned by tapering domes were deliberately scored to resemble candles, thus manifesting a certain aesthetic and religious attitude." Another popular interpretation is that the dome represents the kingdom of God on earth, as opposed to steeples, which point towards heaven.
Taken at a party. This man is one of my closest pals, and no matter what you try to do--or how posed the photo looks--EVERY shot is candid. Taken with a Canon Digital Rebel and an 18-55mm lens. JPEG
This church caught my eye as I was driving past it on my way somewhere else, so I stopped and took a couple of pictures. There was a Halloween carnival in progress at the church, so I hope nobody minded my shutterbugging. I was there for perhaps three minutes, then drove off again.
Hundreds of volunteers work feverishly to raise the levees on the University of Iowa campus "higher, faster". Students, city officials, faculty, university staff and members of the National Guard all participated in the effort. Moving vans seen on the upper left of the photo are being loaded with furniture from the building, in case the levee should fail.
Banner: Lent (2007)
“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”
Made by Linda Austin Mary Funke, Mary Lou Luebke, Sharon Thompson, Kay Walters, Grace Zielske.
The colors of the series of banners for Lent represent a life cycle: green (spring-new life); purple (flowers in bud), pink (flowers in bloom), yellow (faded flowers), tan (wilted flowers), grey (lifeless), and red (blood). The cross and the crown of thorns depict the crucifixion. The wording is the seven things Jesus said while he was on the cross. The Lenten banners were made in memory of Richard E. Zielske.
My knowledge on color theory is absolute shit. Honestly, that's probably the thing I hate the most in design at the moment, is trying to make something clean, while adding color to it. In the end, the majority of my designs are very monotonous. In time and with practice. I also really want to try and read up on it, I just have a hard time keeping my attention focused on reading. I always stray off and want to do something else.

“It is finished.”

The colors of the series of banners for Lent represent a life cycle: green (spring-new life); purple (flowers in bud), pink (flowers in bloom), yellow (faded flowers), tan (wilted flowers), grey (lifeless), and red (blood).

Without the victory of the resurrection, the death of Jesus would have been in vain. For death by itself is no victory, no matter how well-meaning the sacrificial lamb, no matter how noble the cause. Through His resurrection, Christ broke the power of death once and for all time. Salvation was not completed only because of the cross. It was completed by the victory of the empty tomb. "... Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Cor 15:54b-57 NIV

As mentioned before, I have been interested in self portraits or portraiture in general, all with interesting and emotional concepts. Since I live in a desert, I wanted to utilize what is around me, so a bunch of nothingness and dirt! The concept I wanted to go for was something like any person (in this case a cowboy) fighting to survive through hard times (such as lost in a desert finding a puddle of water). This can be translated to almost any situation thought or any past event, for example, The Great Depression. So in the end I just wanted to create a metaphor for making it through tough times.
Now the setup for this photo was slightly complicated. What I did was dig a small ditch into the ground, then covered the hole with flat plastic, like a trash bag. I use the bag so the water won't seep into the ground and dissipate. So I filled the ditch with about 2 and a half gallons of water and then took a small amount of dirt and covered the plastic. The camera was set up on a tripod and put on a 10 second wait to take the picture and I just ran to the hole and kept picking up water until I heard it click.
Now that the work of it was over, I just had to do editing, which again was a lot of work on top of that. So to make it simple I will just say there was some plastic showing so clone stamping was used. To give the photo more of a gritty look, I used my gradient and glowing edges trick and then added a slight warming filter. To focus purely on the water and person, I added an Iris blur just around me and then a slight vignette. On top of that all, I added another warming filter to give it more of a western older feel to it, and this is the product.
To answer the questions, this photo reveals something about myself by showing that I have made it through a difficult situation and still working through it, but have found slight relief. The photograph is a metaphor for almost anything and the "imagery" expresses what I described. The composition adds to the dramatic effect and causes some more emotional pull. I like this photograph the most because of the meaning behind it and how it can mean so much for others as well. I hope you all enjoy
In the epicenter of Seoul is the famous shopping neighborhood, 명동 (Myeong Dong), which represents the picturesque version of bright lights, big crowds, and shopping. This area hosts a wide variety of merchandise to wander through; from department stores to designer imitations. Many tourists and Koreans alike come to 명동, even if only to witness the spectacle and enjoy people watching. When wondering through these streets, it's hard not to brush shoulders and bump around in the high human density. Among the crowds, religious activists can be found darning multi-lingual statements and professing the need for religion through personal public address systems.

“Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow”
Made by Sharon Thompson
Depicts the hand of God (the father) at the top of the cross giving us blessings - the rainbow (God’s faithfulness and promise), the mountains, fields, streams, the dove (the Holy Spirit), seasons, wheat (prosperity, fruitfulness, food and the body of Christ), grapes (drink and the blood of Christ), the Bible (God’s Word), the cross on the Bible (the Son) and our hands at the bottom of the cross receiving the blessings.
