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.

Pine Shadows
Haven't seen you for a while - nice to see you again. This photo looks great - the shadowy leaves are abstract,a dark element that is the opposite of light - and in the daytime too. Very cool shadow shot!
stunning b&w!
I like the sunlight in this. Lots of shades of black and white.
Sometimes, the simplest composition is the prettiest!
There is an elegance to this image:-)
Lovely -- perfect for both memes! I am always surprised at what great stuff people find for B &W..
