Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Oh, lovely, Dimple. I love the water droplets.
My husband took a closeup of our dog in profile today, and there's a tiny drop of water on top of her muzzle. I love that sort of thing.

This is a perfect shot, I love it!
Yes, and very beautiful photos, too!
Almost looked like my Christmas cactus. . . No snow for us this year, I guess. sigh
You are sure right, you can find pictures everywhere everyday! Like you´ve done here !
Striking like this in b&w, surprising too and it's beautiful.
This is a beautiful shot... perfect in it composition. The dark and light make for a lovely contrast.
beauty abounds if we slow down and take the time to notice:)
Oh yes, I agree. And often B&W comes out best - just as it does here.
Wonderful..;-D
