It wasn’t a terrible experience, I actually enjoyed it. It was hard work and I was exhausted afterward, but good to know nothing has really changed since my absence. I was asked to take photos of the Mass by one of my clients because it was a big deal in their culture. Monday is a big holiday for them (not Columbus day).  The Mass was in Portuguese, so I only understood so much. I went to Catholic school for ten years, church 3-4 times a week. Yeah…

Anywho, this photo was taken at the gorgeous St. Patrick’s Cathedral near Rockefeller Center. The priest was a very nice man, I met him briefly after the ceremony. The Mass itself was about two hours. Trying to keep up with the many things going on definitely gave me a run for my money. All in all it was a nice experience, though I don’t plan on making a habit of it.

The lighting was terrible, so I had to shoot ISO 1250. Wish they had let me use my tripod.
