  Angel takes flight
Color photograph, 1995
8x10 inches
 
     
 

The Rev. Frank Logue

Hymn 93 in the Hymnal 1982 proclaims,

Angels from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
ye who sang creation's story
now proclaim Messiah's birth:

Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn king.

This photograph shows joy taking flight. It is a non-retouched photograph taken with a conventional camera (Nikon FM2). Griffin came up with the idea for the 1995 card saying that she wanted to be an angel and she wanted to fly (she was four years old at the time). The angel part was easy, but the flying lessons took a little more thought.

For those interested in the technical details, our friend Mark Law loaned us his studio and a pair of angel wings for the shoot. A quartz light on the background created the bright light she is jumping toward and as a continuous light source added a blur to give a sense of motion during the 30th of a second exposure. The clear face and robe came from the short burst of flash through Mark's large soft box also in the direction Griffin was jumping with a reflector on the opposite side for fill light. Griffin jumped up and away from the column about 20 times and we had our pick of shots of an angel in flight. Logue writes, "It was my first artistic collaboration with my daughter, which made me even more proud of the results."
