Evening Glow At St. Paul The Apostle

Piece description from the artist

St. Paul the Apostle Church (formerly St. Joseph’s) was formed in 1889 in Calumet, a village once at the center of the booming copper mining industry of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. As a diverse range of immigrants arrived in search of work in the mines, they formed parishes that identified with their ethnicities. The Slovenian immigrants who founded this parish built it in a style of a medieval European cathedral reminiscent of their homeland.
With the constant risk of fire or collapse in the mines, the saints chosen for the stained glass windows were those believed to intercede on the behalf of workers in dangerous professions.

About Owen Weber

Naperville, IL

In the moments before dawn, just before the sun spills over the horizon and across the landscape, I always smile with anticipation as I wait for the show to begin.

I savor the days when I’m alone in nature, witnessing the world in all its perfection and capturing those fleeting moments of natural beauty.

I love the craft of photography and the entire process of earning a photo that makes me proud- even the disappointing days when my shutter doesn’t click once. The white-out blizzards, stormy nights, and grueling hikes are always worth the dazzling golden sunrises, crimson last gasps of sun at day's end, and the crystal clear night skies staring out into infinity.

It’s all a humble reminder that nature is always in charge, and no two days are the same.

Ultimately, I’m just a guy who loves to see the world, appreciate its beauty and attempts to do it justice with my lens.

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
