Resonance XXI
First Church is a much photographed
Dunedin landmark, and at first it seemed impossible to relate
the spire to sin. I had to explore the church from a variety of
angles before I found the old lamp which appeared to offer a potential.
As I framed the image the branches of the tree protruded into
the top of the frame and two of the branches split down both sides
of the spire like the legs of one of Baxter' lovers to complete
the image.

What happened to that
stupid sad young man...
Sin, said the First
Church spire,
needling up to the Otago heavens of tombstone clouds |
