Everything we experience through our senses, thoughts, and feelings is designed to point to a Greater Thing...a Greater Person. Food and wine, dance and danger, slumber and adrenaline, melody and silence, visions and confusion, comfort and pain, laughter and tears, poetry and prose, simplicity and technology, cultivation and consumption, and on and on...when we experience these things and end simply on them we are elevating creation over Creator. Jesus has given us life and ALL it's experiences to invite us into His unending mystery, beauty, and Grace. One of my favorite things in all of the whole world that captures this reality is my wife's photography. I'm learning through watching her that photography is not about the camera or the editing software which so many fad-chasing people suppose, but it's about the perspective of the shooter. Her photography which is expanding and improving with every shot intensifies all the elements of an experience and extracts the emotive light, shadows, colors, wrinkles, micro-expressions, bokeh...her photography makes the memory of something sometimes better than the experience! Her unique eye and passion points me to worship Jesus. I invite you to enjoy her work and enjoy Jesus who has given this to her. Check out her Flickr page and her Facebook / Facebook (you'll probably have to log in to your FB account and be friends with her to view her pics in FB).
