kannafoot > March 17, 2009Artistic RenderThis is a heavily modified image of St. Francis Church in East Providence. I opted to render it more like a painting than a photograph. I'm not entirely satisfied with the results, but they're a nice start.St. Francis ChurchEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > March 7, 2009Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead!There's something about this steeple that just screams "Wicked Witch". Actually, you may recognize it from an earlier photo. This is the steeple on the Chapel at Sockanosset. I featured a full shot of the chapel earlier this year. With the very nice dark tiles and the somewhat stormy sky, it really does have an "evil witch" feel to it, though. I'm sure the former residents of Sockanosset - the RI Training School for Boys - would agree. Chapel at SockanossetCranston, Rhode Island
kannafoot > March 5, 2009One E TicketThe bright blue handicapped ramp reminds me of the rope maze leading to a ride at Disney. The building that is the subject of today's photo is now Iglesia Evangelica El Mesias in Providence. Growing up not a football field away, though, I'll always remember this place as Club Geister. It was a restaurant / bar / nightclub on Admiral Street in Providence. Club Geister was made famous in Rhode Island circles by the trio of Providence College basketball heroes Ernie DeGregorio, Marvin Barnes, and Kevin Stacom (or Ernie D, Marvin, and Kevin to we Rhode Islanders.) The three stars would often head to Geisters after some playground action on Smith Street and spend the night entertaining adoring fans at the bar. I don't remember when Geisters finally closed its doors, but a piece of Rhode Island history died with it.Club GeisterProvidence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > February 24, 2009Another SteepleThis wasn't my intended shot today, but I couldn't pass it up. I pulled into the parking lot of an historic apartment building and spotted this church steeple with the bare tree branches and a beautiful blue background. I decided the apartments weren't going anyplace but this shot may not present itself again. As I said before, I can't resist the steeples.Greystone Methodist ChurchNorth Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > February 9, 2009Faded SteepleThere are a few architectural structures that I find irresistible. Church steeples are at the top of that list. What I find even more enticing about this one is the way the peak is faded and in desperate need of a paint job. This is the Hope Congregational Church in East Providence, Rhode Island. There is a high concentration of Congregational churches in this section of Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. The Congregational denomination is a direct descendant of the Puritan congregations that settled this region in the early 17th century.Hope Congregational ChurchEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 26, 2009Bell Tower WannabeIn the late '70s and early '80s we went through this "modern art" phase when building new churches. It's why we have churches that look like upside down ice cream cones or igloos instead of the old traditional majestic looking structures from prior decades. This bell tower is one example of this sorry period. To me it looks like something designed with a child's erector set. Give me a bell tower worthy of Quasimodo any day! As for this tower, I'll wait until it grows up.St. Martha's ChurchEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 21, 2009Quaint New EnglandThis beautiful old church was built in 1879, but is the third structure that serviced the Baptist community on this site. The parish was first gathered in 1794. What makes it most interesting is that the church has actually been in three different cities in two different states! When it was first built, this green was in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. In the mid-1800s, the section was restructured and the green became part of Seekonk, Massachusetts. Then in 1862, the state line was moved and the church became part of East Providence, Rhode Island.First Baptist Church of East ProvidenceEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 11, 2009Holy IglooWe ended up with about four inches of new snow overnight, so I thought it would be a good time to photograph this igloo shaped church. There was still a light snow falling and the sky had some nice dark clouds, contrasting with the snow on the church dome. All processing was done in Photoshop Elements v7.0.Cranston, Rhode Island
