NORTH STAR AS A SYMBOL
As I traveled around the United States photographing religious buildings I loved this opportunity to photograph this Church building which happens to be the Oldest Church in Maine. I love the symbolism we can often find in the cosmos for faith. In a sky of changes we get to have a constant. A guide for ancient mariners finding their way in the storms... just as many use their faith to guide them through morally tumultuous times.

I like to think that the original builders wanted it to line up perfectly but perhaps the sidewalk makers obviously centuries later didn't line up their sidewalk perfectly. But knowing the history of old american churches sometimes they get moved around anyway.
