I’m not really sure what you’d call this. The best thing I can come up with is “Mosaic”. Whatever it is it lies in front of a church in Briarcliff Manor, NY.

Mosaic?
Madonna and Child
This statue stands outside the church of the Parish of St. Theresa and Our Lady of the Wayside in Briarcliff Manor, NY. We’ve lived in Briarcliff Manor for 20 years and one of our grandchildren was baptized there and I’ve always referred to the church as ‘St. Theresas’. I never knew that this was it’s correct name. Apparently Our Lady of the Wayside refers to the patron saint of travelers.
The picture is also a good example of how I missed focus a few times with the Olympus XA2. The hedge behind the statue is in better focus than the statue. This was perhaps because it was quite a gloomy day and the area in front of the hedge was quite dark. Possibly the camera chose a wide aperture and this resulted in limited depth of field. I took a number of shots of this statue and none of them was well focused. This was the best of them.

Around the Neighborhood – Along Central Drive, Briarcliff Manor, NY
Our town, Briarcliff Manor is a fairly prosperous community, but among its many locations, Central Avenue is one of the wealthiest. I was taking the dog for a walk and since Central Avenue is only a few minutes away from where we live I decided to pass by and take a few pictures.

At the boathouse
We recently went for lunch to The Boathouse, a small but pleasant restaurant on the Hudson River waterfront in Ossining, NY. It has some terrific views. In summer it has outdoor seating areas, but when we went it was still cold (you can see from the pictures that there was still snow and ice around) so we had to stay indoors.
I had my Olympus XA2 with so after the meal I went for a walk around and took these pictures.

Film Camera 2019/2-Olympus XA2 – Results
I was pleasantly surprised by the results I got from this camera. I didn’t have too many problems with scale focusing although a few frames did come out too soft for my liking. I also lost a couple of frames to the overly sensitive shutter release.
Otherwise the camera was easy to use, eminently portable and produced well exposed, sharp images.
