This is a cool picture. I've seen it before and this time I decided to use a bible as the book background. No editing tricks, this is just the way light works. The bible wasn't on any specific page when I took this, i just looked for uniformly worded pages. I really hope you like it. I guess if you want to deeply evaluate it you can come up with some correlation between the Word and Gods love for us with the heart and all, and the fact that the ring says "uplift" and make me look all deep and thoughtful... all the better for me no? I used an orange gel on my Vivitar 285HV to make the light look a little more sunset-ish and inviting. And thanks to mom for holding the flash while I took the picture. Haha, i just realized the text has a bunch of angry stuff in it. How funny! Props to anyone who can tell me what passage this is.
Moving On...
Update: I got a Pro Flickr account with the money I made from Prom Portraits, and so I'm planning to post a lot to there for now as I figure out the details for my official photography site.
Portfolio's up! But I use flickr mostly now...
So without further delay, here are my two shiney new URL's:

Update Update (Feb 07th 2012): HI! I still check this blog every once in awhile. It's fun to have an archive of my first Project 365 still hanging out on blogspot. Cool.
Anyway, in case anyone is wondering, my web home base is now stevemoraco.com - Simple enough right?

Well I know it's somewhere in the Old Testament, but, it seems like somewhere in Exodus or Leviticus perhaps? Idk, but I absoulutely adore this picutre! It seems no coinkydink that a ring set upright in between two pages of the Bible would form the shadow of a heart, or is it just me?
Steve, I love these pictures! I'm so glad you did it! Of course, putting it on something like 1 Corinthians 13 would've been a little more fitting, but whatever. I love it! :) Oh, and the passage is Ezekiel 4. :)
I love the heart image being cast by a ring sitting on a page of the Bible. And I guess even tho' the background words are kind of "angry" seeming to warn God's people of his anger at their disobedience, that the ring of uplift and heart of love are good reminders of His forgiveness and boundless love. OK back to the pic -- great effect. very clever.
