Final Service

I was fortunate enough to photograph the final service of a church in east Dallas yesterday. It was one of those days that make me happy to do the work I do. Hugs from old women, stories of marriages and baptisms and funerals, singing, and all in a room with no air conditioning. Taking what I learned at the Herald, now that I look back on it: moments, moments, first and foremost. It was sad to witness the end of a community, though a new one will replace it. I'm getting used to the heat-- assuming that I'll be sweating all day and just taking it in stride.
