Description
Digitally altered photograph of St. Joseph Catholic Church, in New Waverly, Texas, stands with evening clouds as a backdrop. The church was founded by Polish immigrants in 1860, but the first church building was built in 1870. The current, larger church was dedicated in 1906, considered by the Bishop of Galveston to be the finest church in the South. The building cost $13,000 with out the art glass windows and altars.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have won several awards, including an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4.
