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.

She is so pretty. A beautiful and sensitive portrait.
You are lucky that your companion likes to walk. My Jack pulls my arm off so I do not walk with him, and Buster is way too lazy to walk. Such a sweet photo.

Beautiful dog! Sometimes the old friends are the best.
Such a lovely, expressive photo! What a beautiful dog! We love our " baby" too. To us he's not a dog- he's family.
