Altar, Cathedral, Belem, Brazil, 2010

The Cathedral of Belem normally features two interactive sculptures, however at Christmas, it becomes a nativity scene with the addition of the third sculpture in a basket. I photographed in the Cathedral on the day after Christmas, and was able to walk up to the altar to make this image following a mid-day service. The three sculptures reflect wide variations in style and material, yet they interact here quite effectively.

I built the image around that long sweep of marble, Tim -- it not only provides a sense of motion, but also ties all three religious sculptures together as one set of reverential hand gestures.

A great example of how you see a make images. I like the long sweep of the upper angel. To me it add a sense of motion.
