Ryan and I set out on our own last week during a book release reception at the Minster.
We thought our Luddite sensibilities would mesh well with the quintessentially Gothic feel of the Cathedral. So we took some Polaroids.
I think we were right.
The pictures are a bit dark (partly because the gigantic Minster absorbs any light thrown at it). Polaroid flash: 0, Minster: 1.
I'd also like to add a link to an essay I have really enjoyed since its publishing. It's a piece by Richard Rorty for Poetry Magazine and captures him in one of his rarest forms. It's a beautiful piece.
