Certain churches speak to me. I can feel the spirit in these churches. They comfort me in a way having little to do with conventional faith, though I am a believer.
I've always enjoyed photographing churches, particularly older rural churches. I've written a personalized history of a few churches that play a large role in my family history.

Salem Primitive Baptist Church, Wendell, NC
Founded 1784. My paternal STANCIL line has strong ties to this church. My great great grandparents and my great grandfather are buried here. I'd like to document the history of Salem PBC.
Caraleigh Baptist Church, Raleigh, NC
Founded early 1900s. My grandparents, Ethel DAVIS and Atlas ALLEN, and their children, were active members.
New Light Baptist Church, Wake Forest, NC
Founded: 1771. New Light Baptist Church is the oldest baptist church in Wake County and one of only two pre-revolution churches still in operation. My great grandparents, Sissy RAY and Eugene ALLEN, are buried here as are a number of their children.
Coming soon!
