First, below is a “profile” photo of the façade of the Romanesque cathedral in Angoulême, a midsize city in central-western France you probably never heard of, and that’s OK. The cathedral is architecturally astounding but not particularly from this viewpoint. I chose it only to emulate an old snapshot from the 1960s, which I will show and explain below.Nikon Z7, Nikkor 19mm ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, FTZ adapter, Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head.[ATTACH=full]408715[/ATTACH]And now, my pièce de résistance is this: in the exact same scene but from the 1960s, Dom Angelico was touring the area in preparation for a Zodiaque book to be published later, and to better examine and reconnoiter the enormous, high façade of the cathedral and the high sculpted tympanum he would have to photograph, he commandeered the tall ladder of the local firemen and climbed it fearlessly, his black Benedictine robes billowing around him... What a sight, and what an extraordinary monk![ATTACH=full]408716[/ATTACH]Regretfully, Angelico passed away in 2018. He was, and still is, a great mentor and inspiration.</blockquote>
