Advent Celebration Photography by Karlycia Payne

As a Catholic community, our school celebrates every week of Advent before the birth of Christ on Christmas day. This means we light a candle that symbolizes our faith (love, joy, hope and preparation) every week in the month of December. This photo was taken of Mr. Forester in Holy Cross' main foyer. The image was photographed using a Nikon D90 DSLR camera with an 80 - 200 mm, 2.8 lens. This photo was edited using Adobe Photoshop version CS3 computer software where I increased the brightness and saturation since the room was quite dark. This photo was published on the school's official website to present all of the winter events going on.
