One of the greatest things that God has given humans is the ability to see beauty in the world around us. I have never noticed my dog stop and stare at the beauty of a forest or the incredible colors of a sunset, but these things have the ability to stop me in my tracks in wonder and awe. This website is my attempt to capture some of the beauty and glory of an indescribable God by capturing reflections of Him that I see in His creation.
I drive my wife crazy because I never take pictures with people in them. She's kinda funny in that she thinks we should actually be in the pictures of the places we visit. I know, I know....she's nuts. She did marry me after all. :-)
So, here's a picture of my father-in-law in McKittrick Canyon. After all, he may not be in focus, but he's in the picture!
If yer taking photos of scenery, I'll probably side with you on this arguement. However, if your at Disney, I'd rather not see photos of a parade or a ride unless someone I know is in it. Who wants to see some random group of people spinning in a tea cup, when I can see Alison getting ready to toss her toast? Again, unless the point of the photo is purely artistic, I want to recognize who's who.
Yay! A person! David, you know that I do love your nature photography, but my goal is to one day take a picture of you when you're actually happy about being in the picture. =) I know, call me nuts.
...And HEY! I'm very particular about in which shots I choose to "toss my toast." I prefer soft eastern light with a touch of shadow. It's the most dramatic.
LOL at Alison! I love the perspective of this photo...very cool! smiles...
