    Title or Location: Coventry Cathedral Priory and Undercroft
    Coventry Cathedral itself was destroyed in a firestorm after being bombed durint WWII. Amazingly though, this medieval and tuodor structure survived despite its very close proximity.I was there on a dull and cold day, typical British summer. The sjies were flat and gray, so no features there. So I tiik it to mind to convert a coolour image to monochrome in Photoshop, having rpocessed it fairly basically in Lightroom first.Not all images work in monochrome but I thought this would.Thank You

    This photo was a part of the first roll of film I ever shot. I had just gotten my first SLR, and as a zookeeper at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, I thought it would be fun to start with some portraits of all my favorite critters. Scarlet the Red Fox was very curious about the camera and ended being the perfect model. Minolta X-700, expired Kodak Ultramax 400
