Elkhart’s Time Was Museum

Museum owner Paul Thomas, 90, stands for a portrait on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, at the Time Was Museum in Elkhart. “It’s run on federal money – my Social Security – so I can do what I want,” he joked. The museum is spread across two former seven-room apartments on the second story of a retail building in the city’s downtown. (James Brosher/South Bend Tribune)

Woman risks excommunication to be ordained

Few photos for a recent story about a Three Oaks, Michigan woman who risked being excommunicated to be ordained.

On Saturday, Lewis will be ordained by the Roman Catholic Womenpriests group. Lewis will do so in the face of a threat of automatic excommunication from Bishop Paul Bradley of the Catholic Diocese of Kalamazoo. “This action will further separate her from the Church in a very grave manner,” Bradley wrote in a letter inserted in the diocese newsletter on May 22. “It also has the potential to cause great confusion for our faithful.” (James Brosher/South Bend Tribune)

I shot this portrait using a Holga … sort of. It would be more accurate to say I used a Holga lens mounted on a Canon EOS-1D X. I bought the lens a long time ago, but have only played around with it a few times. On my day off, I finally unboxed some new lighting equipment and decided to try to make a Holga portrait (a Holgrait?) of my girlfriend using an AlienBee B800 flash and 47″ octabox. It was tough seeing Babs because the modeling light was burned out so I ended up with this outtake that ended up being one of those happy accidents.
