God the Photographer

Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter. ~ Ansel Adams

I love catching the light in a photo. I am not a knowledgeable photographer yet—I am more fortunate with the photos I end up getting so this quote spoke to me. Sometimes, God is simply the photographer who has set up the picture and all I have to do is snap the gift.

This photo had such cool green colours in it and I loved the wispy clouds hiding the mountaintop. Sometimes when I look at photos, I recognize the gift I have in seeing beauty. I have been thinking since the cruise that I might sign up for a digital camera class and learn more about my equipment so that I can use the gift to inspire people. One of the commitments that I made at the end of Stephanie Staples session was to make cards for people—maybe even sell them. I started that last year and it has been well-received so I feel confident enough to venture out and see what transpires.

Tonight I was over at my friends’ home for supper and afterwards showed them my photos from the Alaskan Adventure. Jake had actually helped me buy my current camera so I am grateful to him for that. He and Roberta were very affirming tonight looking at my shots, many of which God lined up and said, “Go ahead and capture my Creation for all to see and be amazed.”

Peace,

Suzanne
