  • Hebrew text on one panel of a antique Torah scroll that is 150 years old. The traditional stitching holding the parchment panels together is visible.
  • A reflection of two Jewish people in an old mirror, spotted with age, in one of the bathrooms at the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the Czech Republic. In a form of Impressionism, the ghostly image represents a reflection of two people but also a historical reminder of the memory of the Holocaust.
  • A small community hill church near the town of Vrba on the Montenegro coast. The stone church is built of stone and is partially surrounded by a small cemetery.
  • An almost white crucifix, pulled from the ground, is leaning against the walls of an old abandoned building that is slowly crumbling. The image portrays a sense of melancholy loneliness.
  • An old cement cross leaning up against the walls of an ancient Spanish fort that is slowly crumbling in the tropical heat of Panama.
  • An old stone detail from a gate in Cong, Ireland shows what appears to be a king with a crown. This old sculptural element is heavily weathered and chipped with a bit of moss and lichen discoloring the stone.
  • A figure of Saint Nick with a full beard and in a white robe bearing a gift. He is in front of a Christmas tree lit up with lights, gold balls, and other decorations.
  • A plaster medallion used as an architectural detail in a country club. Isolated to a white background.
