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.

It made for an absolutely wonderful photo, Louise. I love it. At first it looked like it had been dipped in chocolate, then I could see images inside it. Good work!

Fascinating rusult! It is said that taking pictures is all abaout seeing, and one may possibly include editing into such a point of view. Have a nice day :)
I like the composition. Thanks for the instructions to obtain a perfect black & white ! Nice weekend!
I'm not sure you intended this, Dimple, but to me this image has an other-worldliness about it.
very interesting...definitely a work of art!
You definitely illuminate my world with your pictures and your lessons on Picassa! Very nice find.
I like your title and the photo is very interesting in black and white.
That is an awesome image! I should remember to convert the colors sometimes.
I like it! Who would have ever thought of inverting the colors?
It's very beautiful and I think, thought-provoking.
