16. Exploring function


priest at Exeter Cathedral

In this photograph, one can see a priest speaking from a pulpit to an audience who are not present. In fact, while the cathedral is open during the day, on the hour, a priest gets up and announces what is going on in the cathedral.

This image is perhaps a comment on falling church attendance. Shortly after, the priest very kindly posed for me as he came down the steps from the pulpit but it is the picture here that I wanted; I feel it shows both function and lack of function.
