Yes, there are Zoroastrians, Wiccans and Jains in Houston. And people of lots of other faiths too. Here's a photographic crash course in religion.

Trust Unitarian*Universalists to have the most banal, to say nothing of artistically and technically second-rate photos in that whole photo essay. The banal shot of the chalice with the flame barely poking above its rim says little or nothing and if you look in the reflection in the chalice the room looks empty. The underexposed amateurish flash photo of reverends Becky and Mark Edmiston-Lange staring intently at a match that seems to be on the point of sputtering out doesn't really portray U*Uism in a flattering light at all. Gotta wonder what the Houston Chronicle's photographer and photo editor were thinking. Surely they could have managed to take and publish a couple of more technically competent, artistically inspired, meaningful and informative photographs than those two, but apparently not. My criticism here is not so much of Houston U*Us, but the Houston Chronicle's banal and even just plain unflattering portrayal of them. I find it hard to believe that there weren't two better photos available than those that were published.
ReplyDeleteIn retrospect, it is a strange picture, and not something I noticed (it was pictures of other religious ceremony that caught my eye). I don't disagree with your analysis.
