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.

Hallway Shadow


I had to go to the county offices recently. It was a sunny afternoon (I remember those!), and after I finished my business, I wandered around a little to see what I could see. This caught my eye, and I thought it would work beautifully for Shadow Shot Sunday over at Hey Harriet's. Drop on over to see more shadows.

Hi Dimple! I'd love to share my fruitcake recipe with you. I can either email it to you or mail it to you snail-mail. Drop me a note at sblaxland@eastlink.ca. It is extremely delicious!

Great shot! I like how the shadow of the door jamb is perfectly centered in the hallway! Wow!

Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my SS!
