Moral Decay
A semi-abandoned church stood in a well-kept country graveyard, home to headstones from the 1830s. It had separate doors for men and women, but dust-covered pews and a pulpit fell victim to neglect. Several pews had collapsed, plaster peeled from water-damaged walls, and many windows were missing. It's been ages since a preacher's voice echoed here. The world would be better with fewer empty pews.

Then they are stretched over solid hard wood stretcher bars to ensure that the canvas print does not warp or bow over time Our archival quality giclée prints are bright, with vivid, and amazing colors that will resist fading for over 100 years and last for generations. 12x12 canvases are on 1.25 inch stretcher bars, 20x20 and 30x30 canvases use 1.25 inch stretcher bars, and 40x40 canvases are stretched over 1.5 inch wood framework.

It was an old, crumbling church in a well-kept country graveyard. The oldest gravestones dated back to the late 1830s or early 1840s. The church had separate doors for men and women. Inside, the dusty pews and pulpit were still there, but many pews on the left had fallen through the floor. Water damage from the leaky roof caused plaster to chip away, and several window panes were missing. It had been years since a preacher had spoken there. Inside, the heat was suffocating. I closed the doors to manage the light and set up my tripod, moving around for the best shot. Sweat dripped from my hands, and each step stirred up dust that clung to my skin and clothes. After over an hour, I looked like I'd been working in a coal mine.
I wish I could say it was a magical experience and I came away with a perfect image, but that wouldn't be true. At that time, I was learning digital editing, I spent several evenings polishing the final picture. While editing, the title "Moral Decay" came to me. The image reminded me of how the world used to be and how it has changed. I think it was a better place when church pews were full and in use. I suppose that’s just my opinion, or is it?
