I've been asked a few times about my profile picture, and a good friend of mine recently inspired me to do a post on it.
The picture was taken during a free weekend in February of 2006. I managed to do a whirlwind tour of over 15 churches, cathedrals, and monasteries throughout 4 states. This particular image was taken outside of St. Anthony Catholic Church in the small town of St. Anthony, Indiana. There was a garden gazing ball in the front yard of the church, and after some experimenting, I took this self-portrait facing directly into the gazing ball. I think it turned out pretty interesting. I also think it exemplifies the whole idea of "The Steeplechase" quite well.
Unfortunately the church suffered a fire in June 2007 while the building was undergoing renovations. From what I can gather, they are thankfully in the process of restoring the 128-year-old church.
