I “love” when God puts an image in my head.............and then I somehow have to go out and shoot it! This was one of those images. Taken in January 1991, I wondered if there was anywhere in town where one of the two crosses on the church’s towers would line up with the big cross way back on “Cross Mountain”. Coming out of 11 o’clock mass one day, I simply started walking away from the church, looking back at the 2 crosses, trying to line them up. Down an alley way between 2 stores I found the place! Using a monster 500mm lens (with a 2X “doubler for 1000mm) and a blue filter, I “stopped” the lens down as far as it would go because I knew depth of field (far and close points focussing) would be a problem, which it was. I remember the exposure was something ridiculous like 1 or 2 seconds at F32. If you focussed on the close cross, the one in the background was “soft”. If you focussed on the far cross, the near one was soft. It took an entire roll to find the right spot where they both looked acceptable. I often tell people that this is one of my very favorite photographs of anything, and that if I had only 5 of my photographs to take with me on a deserted island for the rest of my life this would be one of them. Simple but dramatic.
