mercy

I photographed a prayer service last week at Mount Mercy College, held for the victims of the NIU shooting. I got there early and found beautiful light streaming in from the stained glass windows, and hoped for someone to sit in *just* the right spot. It was a small turnout, but I don't think I've heard that kind of quiet in a room in a long time; rarely has the sound of my shutter - or even the squeaking of my wet boots on the floor - seemed so intrusive.
