I recently had the privilege of working with author Mary Mueller on her latest project Stargazer: The Story of Mary Mother of God. Ms. Mueller provided the model, Anna Baranyi, and a cover concept. My job was to photograph Anna in a manner that captured holiness along with a sense of awe in her expression and posture.

From the back cover:

Mary Mueller has created a first century masterpiece in her historical novel of the life of Mary, mother of Jesus. In her retelling of the biblical story, we follow Mary from a young girl, through her betrothal to Joseph, the birth of Christ, his childhood, his ministry, and his eventual crucifixion and resurrection. This heartwarming story will help you better understand the biblical story of Mary and the culture she lived in, as well as bring you to a new understanding of the humanity of Christ.

The cover layout was done by Skip Coryell of White Feather Press.

The book will be available on November 15 and can be purchased from your local bookseller, ordered from places like Borders, or directly from White Feather Press.

I was asked to photograph some ductwork by Powder Coating Plus, LLC. The images will be included in their portfolio of work to showcase not only their ability to paint large objects but the quality of the finish.
