When I was in choir in college at the University of St Thomas St Paul MN, we sang many types of choral music. But one type or style that touched me deeply was the music of Taize. At the time I knew almost nothing about where this music had come from or nothing of the community that sponed this music. I just knew it was very moving and God honoring.
Today I find out Brother Roger Schutz, the 90 year old founder of Taize died of a stabbing wound.
It is now in his dying that I learn so much of the man that started the institution and movement of Taize.
Brother Roger of Taize
How Taize change the church…
No wonder why the music of Taize touched me so deeply.

About waynem
As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work.
My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams.
My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
