God's Glass....a repeat

In an earlier post, I talked about my lens as "God's Glass". You see, photographer's refer to their lens as "glass". Since I believe that my camera is guided by the inspiration of a wonderful, caring and loving God, I call my lenses, "God's Glass". Viz a viz, my tag line "You are Precious in God's Eyes," give credit where credit is due. Yep, there you have it. I am a Christian photographer and prior to any photoshoot, I confer with the One O'Mighty and seek His help. Now, mind you, I didn't just pick up a camera in 2004 and carelessly state I am now a professional. Nope, previous to that time I studied photography as part of my public relations degree, closed off our extra bathroom, installed a darkroom and proceeded to spent most evenings developing film and processing prints. I can still smell the developer, fixers and all the needed chemicals. Local media published pictures along with my press releases and I had fun. Then came Adobe Photoshop...and, fours year's of part-time study to gain a training certificate. A whole new ball game with a whole lotta fun! Back to my main point here....God's Glass. You see, though I know that I had to develop skills and learn (always learning) how to photograph, there are many times, many, where I take a picture and I know that the shoot was orchestrated by God and not me. This shot here was one of them. The purity of this little guy posed with the love of his tender mama, capture, to me...a glimpse of God's Love through His glass. Before each photoshoot, I spend time, sometimes a lot of time praying, seeking God, asking Him to show me how I can bless those who have hired me. He is faithful and so credit must go to where credit is due....worth repeating. So, there ya go, my little synopsis of God's Glass. God bless!
