Reflections of Creation

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.

where I see the unseen Wednesday, August 31, 2011 | 0

(prayer taken from the Andrew Peterson song, Invisible God).

I give you praise, oh great invisible God, for the the moon in the space of the dark night, for the smile on a face in the sunlight. I give you praise, oh great invisible God, for the sound of the storm on the window, for the morning adorned with a new snow, for the tears on the face of the old man made clean by the grace of the good Lamb. Oh, invisible God.

And oh, I long to see your face, invisible God. All the works that you have made are clearly seen and plain as day, so mighty and tender. O Lord, let me remember that I see you everywhere, invisible God, in the seed that descends to the old earth and arises again with a new birth; in the sinner who sinks in the river and emerges again, delivered. Oh, invisible God.

And oh, I long to see your face, invisible God. All the works that you have made are clearly seen and plain as day, so mighty and tender. O Lord, let me remember Your power eternal, Your nature divine. All creation tells the tale that Love is real and so alive. I feel you, I hear you, great God unseen, I see you in the long, cold death that the winter brings and the sweet resurrection spring. Oh, invisible God.


playing with photoshop actions Tuesday, August 30, 2011 | 1

Okay, I was on the website of someone who was giving away their photoshop actions, and I wanted to play around. In order to see what it looked like, I took a not so great picture of the grand canyon and applied an action, and here is what I got. Not bad for 30 seconds of work, eh? Although this ended up way overdone in my opinion and I don't usually like altering my pictures like this...

Okay, I am sorry I've been gone for 6 days. Crazy week.

For this picture, I had to do some serious white balance work to hide all the purple that really was there. While this is not realistic, I nonetheless wanted it to look this way to see what it would look like. For reference, the bottom picture is the one straight from camera.

Reflections of Creation



the most important part of this website

I enjoy photography and I always find myself wanting more time to be outside with a camera. The idea of posting my pictures was born out of the love for my wife, Alison (alisonbryantwrites.com), who hates it when I do not take my days off. This website, reflections of creation, is a way to force me to get out of the office from time to time and putting me outside where I love to be. While a creative outlet for me, I hope this is an encouraging site for you, and one which helps point you to the Creator of all this beauty around us. God is so much bigger and amazing than we could ever imagine, and He loves you and me! What an amazing thought! He loves us so much that He was even willing to let His son, Jesus, die as a sacrifice for us. That fact is more beautiful than any picture you will see on this website. I hope you know Jesus, but if you do not, please email me or go to www.needHim.org. Thanks again for coming and stop by again soon.
