28 Faces, day 8
I am interested in photographing the person as bare as possible…I don’t want to put people into special situations, ask them to do specific things, or act in a certain way.

This looks like a store that would have been fun to wander around in, what with the wallpaper and paints and whatever else they stocked. I was by there on a Sunday and assumed it was out of business. I mean – look at the place! Imagine my surprise when, just this very minute, when I was researching this post, that I found it online and discovered that it’s actually open six days a week (although just until noon on Saturday).
Obviously, I will need to go back to St. Louis on not a Sunday to check it out. I’ll let you know what I find…

All I can recall with any sort of reliability is that this was taken in Kansas City. It might have been in an Anthropologie store. On the other hand, it might have been somewhere else.

After World War II, the Church of St. Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury was relocated from London to the grounds of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. It is now part of the Winston Churchill Memorial and Library.
For you famous-speech fans out there, Westminster College was the site of Churchill’s famous “iron curtain” speech in 1946.
And, for you pieces-of-the-Berlin-Wall fans, Churchill’s granddaughter Edwyna Sandy’s sculpture “Breakthrough” is on the grounds of the museum; the sculpture is constructed from eight sections of the Berlin Wall.
