John Dirks Jr Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Strange image. The cracks to the left side are closer together making the wall appear to fade into depth of distance. Then, when you look at the right side of the image where the cross is, the perspective is that the surface is more perpendicular to your viewing point. It's an illusion caused by the spacing if the paint cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's a wall finish that comes in a big box as a jig saw puzzle for the OC afflicted. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Moore Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 If I stand on my head and sorta squint with one eye closed, I swear I can see a piece of toast in the cracks. It's a miracle!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieb Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 For the record, its a crucifix. Typically found found in a catholic or episcopalian environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'd recommend an ordained, competent priest look at it and provide recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I like it. If I hadn't been raised catholic, and proclaimed born again by the teachers at the baptist bible school I attended with my southern cousins one summer, I might even have been moved by it. It speaks volumes about the relevence of faith in our society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieb Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 At the risk of being moderated; the "relevence of faith in our society" does not change. What has changed/cracked/fractured is man's belief that he is autonomous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't get it. Is there supposed to be something there besides the crucifix or is this just the first time Mike has seen one? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lamb Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks for all the comments. The image caught my eye so I thought I'd bounce it off the TIJ crowd. The wall is flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHI in AR Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I like the shot. I agree that it appears as if the wall curves to the left. As for seeing images in the cracks...well, I looked a long time. (It is a slow night.) All I could find was Homer Simpson's ass. Or some equally overweight person -- gender not specified. Look just to the left of the base of the crucifix. Invert it if need be. Your mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emalernee Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I see a man with a big nose standing with his back to the cross. Yep, there is a message in this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hey Mike, I like it more "better" when it is rotated clockwise. Charlie, you are right and you always make me laugh! For those that do not know Charlie, never get into a dispute with him as regards religion or faith. He is one of the nice guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has changed/cracked/fractured is man's belief that he is autonomous. It's true. And I'm not necessarily a man of faith. Those that believe that it's all their own work and ability that got them where they are need to explain how they constructed the universe.

Jerry Simon Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Those that believe that it's all their own work and ability that got them where they are need to explain how they constructed the universe. Well, it was either done by the observed or the observer. ('Course, they might be the same thing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlieb Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 So, the ability to think and reason. Is it a gift or a curse? I believe it is a gift. We are each FREE to chose what we will do or not do. Just like in our work.../no being is going to force us to do anything....not ever the RE lady who told me to "go easy on this one" at my Friday AM. =). I spent extra time writing on that one.
