22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
O'Kelly's Chapel

I have started a project to take photographs of old wooden churches using my 8x10 view camera, and this was my first attempt. While the church is no longer used as such (the current building dates to about 1900), it is a historic monument as the congregation was originally founded as an anti-slavery version of Methodism.
