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.

Super shot: cowboys, cell phones and crazy legs.
Great shot! It's also very "telling" of our times and our need to be connected with our self as well as others.
This is an excellent photo!
wonderful candid picture.
Love this shot - great contrasts and feeling in the picture :)
This is another photo I'd like to see in a book... Coffee table book.
This is great, Louise!! Love the cowboys. Is one of them texting? Why should that surprise me? I don't know.
Love it Dimple. I wish you could have gotten more of the old guy on the right. Looks like a real character.
This is a wonderful capture! It places the viewer right there in that room!
Great capture!

Fascinating portrait. Good work with the light.
Such a fun and different photo. So much to see.
I thought I had seen everything in this shot, and then I discovered the coffee cup. This is a grand picture with so much detail in the black and white. Fabulous photography. Genie
That's a picture of major contrasts:
- black and white color
- young versus old
- active versus tired
(the young man is happily doing something; the old man can hardly drink his coffee)
- fashionable versus old-fashioned
(the hats and the outfits of the two men).
Great picture!
Wow! You did a great job of catching a humorous view of the landscape...inside...nice composition, too!!! Love it in black and white...gives it more gravitas.
Great shot!
If it weren't for the texting I might have thought this was an old-time photo. :)
It really could do with an explanation this picture . . . where, when, is it real, is it posed, are they waxworks . . ?
Tantalising.

Love this! The composition and the dark sepia (?) color. At first glance the cowboy on the left looks like he has some extra legs :)
Great shot! It's funny to see him using a cell phone, because his clothes look like they're from a past era!
Very good black and white photography.
Regards!
A nice, relaxing atmosphere.
Have a blessed weekend!
