Photos and Thoughts on Life
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.
Absolutely wonderful, Louise, because we were on a rivers-and-canals cruise in Russia last summer. I sent my husband a link to these fabulous photos, too. That photographer was very, very skilled. K
Such a huge, diverse country. Those photos were so lovely and it is good to have an insight to other countries. There was a lot of beauty there. Maggie X

The pictures are great. Sadly only one person in all the photos was smiling (#22) and the dog in #25 looked happy. Guess life was tough.
Wow, that was a find!
Wonderful, indeed! colors, settings, people - all fascinating.
Most of the pictures don't seem to be old; the people in these pictures ,however, do look as from the previous century.
