Dear Jim --
Over the past few months my meetinghouse photography has continued to attract recognition and awards. Below are some of the highlights, together with information about upcoming presentations and exhibitions, and a free DVD.
For more information about A Space for Faith: The Colonial Meetinghouses of New England, or to order copies, please visit: www.aspaceforfaith.com.
Although the calendar says it is spring, winter is still lingering here in New Hampshire. I wish you all the best as the days lengthen and warmth eventually returns.
-- Paul.
