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.

What a beautiful capture of the two stones. Of all the pictures I have taken in my time, I have never taken on of stones. This one is wonderful and gives me a whole new appreciation of this little gifts of nature. Nice work.
They are like siblings :)
These are pretty pebbles, and I love the way you've photographed them on your hand.

I like rocks too - but I find these ones rather alarming.
