Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
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.
I always find shots of things like this interesting. When I'm hiking, I love wandering across old, ruined things (as opposed to modern litter). Today I found a couple of ruins, just the foundations left, and a root cellar full of graffiti, and I'm looking forward to posting some of those photos over the next few weeks.
when I find 'treasures' like this....I can't help wonder their history...who had them...how they happened to land where they did...and then...I want to write...create a story...love your photos...

I think I am getting a charge out of this one.
How wonderful, Dimple.

it's a treasure found.
Oh, I love this one!
I was looking for old junk yesterday, but about all I found was beer bottles.........
And little chunks of orange peel way out in the middle of nowhere. hmmmm......
Interesting how discarded items can make such interesting photos. I like this a lot, Dimple!
Wow, this certainly inspired me to keep a lookout on more things to capture in my lens..
