A New Endeavor

In college, my roommates and I began a collage on our living room wall in our dorm; the collage contained pictures depicting beautiful scenes in nature. Some of the photos we took ourselves, and others friends gave us to add to the collection. Since the photos continually reminded us of the magnificence of our great God's creation, we dubbed this collage 'The God Wall', and it became quite famous- at least among our own circle of friends.

I recently came across some photographs I debuted on The God Wall some seven years ago, and it reminded me of an idea I've had bouncing around in my head for some time: a photography blog- specifically, a photography blog focused on the magnificent beauty of God's creation. I haven't had the time to think about beginning a new blog, but since I am now unemployed until further notice, that reliable excuse of 'being too busy' has gone out the window. I scrambled for another reason why I couldn't begin this blog, and I found one readily enough: I am not a professional photographer, and I have way too many friends who are way too talented when it comes to photography. Seriously, twenty names just came to mind. I left the idea alone for a while.

But then, it seemed every time I looked at something beautiful, at something so skillfully and artfully designed, I wanted so desperately to share it with others- for them to see the wonder of it and to silently praise the Lord for His creativity in creation. I realized beginning this photography blog would not actually be about photography, but about worshipping our Creator through allowing ourselves to be amazed at His Creation. And that was it. That was the moment I decided to begin the journey, and I'm inviting you along with me.

Though I am not a talented photographer by any means, I sometimes find it is difficult to not take amazing photographs of what the Lord created. I hope that by purposefully shooting images of the beautiful scenery which so reminds me of Jesus the Christ and then sharing them with others, we can more fully worship the Creator by examining Him and His works. I hope you'll join me and allow yourself to be amazed.
