This is another image from a new series I'm tentatively titling stained glass.

The first image I shared, in case you missed it, is pietà, interrupted.

It may seem like a straightforward, perhaps bland, title for a series of photographs of stained glass windows but - like many of the images themselves - it's actually more layered.

Although the central subjects of the images are, unsurprisingly, stained glass windows, many of the photos from the series also make the glass appear 'stained' by the outside world:

the sky and/or trees may be visible through or reflected in the stained glass
adjacent mausoleums may be visible through the stained glass
the view of the stained glass might be obscured by elements of and in the mausoleum
parts of the glass might be missing or damaged

I'm not generally one for explaining my image or series titles. I often prefer a certain level of ambiguity and to see if the viewer 'gets my drift'.

I love words and language, especially puns, double entendre and euphemism, as you may have noticed. But sometimes I feel simple titles convey more than you might initially realise.

I'd be interested to know what you think about the series title. Do you think it's:

Deceptively simplistic and too bland?
Works when you know my thought process?

Do you think you would have related the title to my thoughts above based on the two images from the series I've shared so far?
