Scotty, I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed all the photos these last several weeks of your grandparents’ home (and, of course, I am looking forward to you and swells finally returning home yourselves). This has been a really amazing and rather touching photo essay…
Assistant DA: “When you said that Jesus touched you, Jimmy, I don’t believe you didn’t mean it in the conventional, abstract sense. Using this figurine, can you point to where, exactly, Jesus touched you?”
Thank you all for the comments over the last few weeks. I’m sorry that I haven’t had the chance to be more involved in the conversation.
I was happy to have a subject that I could post in advance for the weeks that Swells and I were to be traveling, and the truth is that I’ve found a pretty large degree of comfort from
time to time in being able to access photos of my soul-home while jumping from place to place. You might say that it’s been quite grounding. I also have to sincerely thank you commenters for sending your voices my way — as for many of us, the Whatsit has really become a virtual home for me.
I was originally planning on wrapping up this series with this last installment, but I think I’ll have a little more to say about it when I get home — think of it as a nice respite before the endless weeks of travel photos begin. I have shot over two thousand images while on the Continent.
Catholicism has got to be the best religion for kitsch. Even the figurines have their own kitsch. It’s tchotchkes all the way down.
If only it were that cute!
These are my favorite Catholic kitsch items of all time.

Ack! Editing gone awry: “don’t think you meant it”!

I will likely have
Sorry for the comment clunkiness, but I still haven’t gotten used to writing on my iTouch.
