Same reason for the graffiti being left on, gives context to the shot that it is not a house of God anymore.

Interesting idea, I would have never considered it a house of god anyway, as I don't beleive in such fictitious entities Secondly, I put my hand over the stone, and it didn't seem to take anything away from the shot.

I can see your angle, but I guess it depends on how you look at the building, as a place of worship, that was perhaps the centre of the community at one time, or (as I do) a wonderful piece of architecture, that deserves to have some space around it, so one can enjoy it without distraction

Re: God Don't Live Here Anymore

Can I just say I can see both points - the building by itself is quite magnificent, yet the graffiti adds to the overall picture too.

If you're ever in the area again I would certainly consider taking a few more just to see what you come up with
