One of the most recognizable building on the Silver Lake College is the “Church on the Hill”, the Generose Enrichment Center. This converted church is named after the first college president, Mother Generose Cahill. My first photo of the building, (seen at the left) titled “Generose” is a Hipstamatic photo, enhanced with two other iPad apps to add the aged background and the golden shafts of light coming from the steeple. For my second photo, “The Old Church” I took a very different approach. This former church, like many others, has a cemetery at the front of the building and many large shade trees. This photo was taken immediately after a snowstorm. The lack of leaves on the tree and the double-image effect provided by the Hipstamatic app added an interesting look that has been called “both beautiful and terrifying at the same time”. There can be no greater compliment! I’m honored that “The Old Church” has been included on the Hipstamatic Sardinia commemorative poster and in the Bosco Divinoexhibit at the Cave of Villa Scopoli, Verona, Italy. “The Old Church” can currently be seen at the Silver Lake College exhibit that runs through November 30.
