Photography Catches the Light
So, life gets to me frequently...it is not done with me yet. As a result photo posting will continue to be sporadic over the next few months but I am expecting that it will be more consistent around September.
I subscribed to the Photo Nuts and Bolts course available through Digital-Photography-School.com As I was reviewing some of the modules this morning I realized something.
Photography captures an image of the light that is reflected / refracted -- projected to us in some way. I have felt that I need to use photography to testify of Christ. There is a scripture that asks if I reflect the image of Christ by receiving Him.
We (I am) are created in the image of God. Therefore, I should / could reflect to those around me His light that I have chosen to partake of. The images that we see in this life are a reflection of deity. As a people we can choose to see it and embrace it or not.
I choose to embrace it...My day to day life and as a result my life over all is so much better and happier because of this choice.
Thought:
We are human beings with natural tendencies. When something happens my initial reaction is a natural one. However, I choose to continue with this thought / feeling and as a result embrace it -- consciously or unconsciously. The question becomes what do I replace it with? Granted, sometimes it is not so easy or obvious. But, as with all things it becomes easier with practice.
(Example: anger. Something happens. In that instant I do not choose to be angry, it comes naturally. However, I do choose to continue with the anger or to trade it in for a different attitude. Insert whatever you struggle with.)
God has provided us with the help that we need to make it through each day. I choose to seek this help and apply it to the best of my ability. Grace through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
