Liminalography


        As I did this assignment it took me a while to decide where, and how, I would take pictures showing the definition of the word 'liminal'. Finally, I realized when I was at my congregation/church that I wanted to take the pictures there. The building, which is liminal in its own way since it represents where the spiritual meets with the physical, is surrounded by woods. 
       I took a variety of photos but most of them ended up being nature-related and are liminal in a number of ways: ground meeting sky, water droplets in the process of becoming part of the pond, a reflection forming a whole new image, and so on. Also, most of these pictures turned out to be the type of pictures I most like taking - close ups of nature, which my dad pointed out to me are liminal in their own way since they are between abstract and realistic.
