your images are wonderful in the way they show your belief in a higher

comforting to you, and that is fine.  As for me, they are beautiful!

Whoa..big generalization there concerning the atheist remark. I don't think
that Brendan was making any comments about the existence of a higher being or
the lack thereof, but as to what the picture literally depicted. And I can see
his point..there can be a interpretation of God 'taking' the Shuttle
(especially with the shuttle in flight picture)...which is something that I
would interpret as somewhat disturbing, and also an interpretation that was
unintentional. And I'm Roman Catholic, if you're wondering.

I personally wish to make a memorial image also, and have built a microscale
Shuttle...but I haven't been able to come up with a thought that conveys what I
feel. Well, not until a little bit ago. I 'll have something up online within
the next day.

Hi, Anthony.

First let me say that that I was moved by your words about the space shuttle
astronauts and heroism.  It is of some comfort to be reminded during a
tragedy like this that these people's hopes and dreams will survive even
though they themselves will not.

These images, however, I found to be very confusing, and possibly quite
disturbing if my guess at their message is correct.  But before I go jumping
to conclusions, maybe you could give me the gist of what they mean to you.
Whatever they mean, I don't think posting links to them is inappropriate,
nor do I object to you sharing them with others whether they offend me or not.
