This first shot was made years ago on a photo workshop in Arches National Park. \u00a0Charles had climbed up on a rock ledge to make this iconic shot and I saw, as the sun hit the rocks, he was a perfect silhouette! \u00a0I asked three friends to hold his legs in the shadows in fear he might fall! \u00a0Charles loved the image so much that a very large print version of it hung over his desk in his office at In Touch. \u00a0I was thrilled he liked it, but even more thrilled he didn’t fall to his death!<\/span><\/p>\n

When visiting Charles at his home in Atlanta, I saw this beautiful image hanging on his wall, he told all about a studio photographer that used this actor portraying Jesus and shot this image of them I asked could if I could copy it andI did right then and there with a handheld camera, I loved this image and still do! \u00a0It was shot in Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n
