Here is another shot from the World Youth Day. I am not sure if I really like it but I wanted to tell you one experience I had while taking pictures there. As you can see I was there while quite a lot of people were celebrating a church service (this morning I heard in the news that it must have been around 100.000 people). And before they started their Lord's supper (I guess they call it communion) the priest said that the Lord's supper (or however the call it) is only for Catholics. For me this is very stupid! Maybe someone can explain to me what is wrong with ecumenism!?!
Hier ist ein weiteres Bild vom Weltjugendtag und ich weiß nicht so richtig, ob ich es mag. Allerdings wollte ich eine kleine Begebenheit von gestern loswerden und dazu passt das Bild ganz gut. Kurz bevor es zum Abendmal ging (ich glaube, dass es bei diesem Verein Kommunion heißt), meinte der Priester darauf hinweisen zu müssen, dass das ganze nur für Katholiken sei. Andere können sich gerne einen Segen abholen; aber "zu Essen" gibt es nur für "Clubmitglieder". Hier mein Statement: das finde ich doof! (Man sieht, wie gut ich differenzieren und argumentieren kann.) Warum wehren sich die Jungs so gegen die Ökumene?!?

great lighting, and beautiful light dark contrasts
Why aren't you sure if you like it? It's great. The black and white stands out, the small aperture is well chosen, the photo has a story.. Well, I like it! :-)
As for ecumenism.. I don't know what's wrong with it. Not enough bread to go 'round maybe? ;-)

I like the tones and lighting. The subject is really good! I guess my church is really small (only 3,000 people attend)!

Hab doch immer geahnt, dass die Eucharistie eigentlich eine erotische Ersatzhandlung ist.
Wie dieses sinnliche Bild eindrucksvoll belegt.

Yea, the problem with some churches is that they take themselves too seriously... Like the light in the photo.

This is fantastic -- the lighting, perspective and DOF are all spot on.
Catholics are just a bit strange somtimes -- I've never really understood some of the things they do.
