Unorthodox Religion Here is a good church picture from Kievo-Pecherskaya Larva for Sunday in the bible belt.I am not sure how people were able to photograph the interior of churches before the HDR technique came along.  Well, actually I do - since I used to do it too, but now I am ashamed of all my old pictures.  There is no other way, in my opinion, to capture the richness, details, and colors of these massive works of art.You can see a heiromonk there on the right in his morning ghostly ritual.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ghost in the Cathedral The Byzantine gold glowed hot when I got inside, a divine signal to me that God was mad because I brought my camera inside.  However, I reasoned with God, the sign read "No Cameras" in a Cyrillic lettering, a lettering style I do not recognize since the Jesuits trained me in the Romance languages and not these Slavic uncials.Besides, I was inside Saint Michael's Cathedral, and I was holding a camera, and, as the saying goes, when in Rome, shoot interiors of churches in Rome, and when in Kiev, break Eastern Orthodox Ecumenical Councils.While God was busy figuring out my flawless reasoning, I spotted a cloaked HeiroMonk in is post-Matins chanting, moving in a pattern indecipherable by my camera, thus the ghostly visage in this seeming partial transcendence.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Snowy Night at the Kiev Opera House It was quite icy and snowy in Kiev that night.  I walked up near the opera house and found this shot.  The blue lights inside along with the old Soviet car out front gave it all a very cool feeling.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
