John Henry Parker liked to explore old churches in Rome. He'd photograph the sculptures and carvings he found. One thing that stands out is his attention to detail - he'd capture tiny parts of bigger pieces, like the sculptures on Trajan's Column. Check out his photos of the Lions at the Door of the Church of S. Lorenzo to see what he was all about.
