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.

There is beauty in the ordinary...
Very nice picture! Why didn't I think of such nails ;)
For the purposes of the photo, does it matter that these are screws? Just a thought, not a criticism. It's a beautiful photo and the weathered boards bring back many old memories.

Kay, well, the closest one is a screw, but the other two, I believe, are nails. Good observation!
