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.

Room With a View...

A forest room:
Shaded
Floor of twigs

Windows

Doors

And views.

This is gorgeous, Louise. I reminds me of making "rooms" outdoors when I was a child. Little Kay would have loved this room.

Lovely room...a good place to rest a spell.

I, too, am fond of the overexposed background. Normally, it would draw your eye from the subject, but in this case, it enhances the mystery.

Stunning!

I prefer open vista views, preferably with water... but dang, what I wouldn't give to see this right now! Gorgeous textures for monochrome, Dimple.
