Meditations of My Heart: Monochrome Weekly

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.

Bench & Footbridge in B&W

This walkway is beside a marina. The water is so far down right now that all the slips are sitting on the bottom, but in a couple of months it will be full of water and ready for business. The footbridge leads to the patio of a restaurant which faces the street; there are also other footbridges which connect with other restaurants. It is a very pleasant walk, even without water!

Monochrome Summer Sky

Lake Koocanusa, Montana
July 2009

I've been experimenting with monochrome--all you monochrome fanatics out there, especially John at The Aware Writer, have inspired me. I filtered this with a kind of dark yellow-tan in Picasa, and cropped it a little.

This is for Skywatch Friday, Looking at the Sky on Friday, and Monochrome Weekly. Follow the links to see more great photos!

Back Wall in Monochrome

This is a detail from the back wall of the town theater, which was closed in the 1980's, but has been re-opened and restored. I doubt this vent is in restored condition, however!
