My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I told him the cost of my new lens. He repeated the price, "$1599.99", and then added, "why do you need this and why is it so much?"
On top of my husbands reluctance for me to spend this large amount of money, the lens was backordered from every vendor.
With sad eyes, lots of prayers, late nights of research and my husband's consent I got the lens. Best Buy was able to locate the last one in the U.S., found it all the way in Alaska.
Tack sharp, with creamy or bubbly background (called bokeh), my clients can now be captured in a whole new way.
However, over and above all my settings and lighting, there is an element to my photography that is beyond my imagination, my skill set and equipment. I call it "God's Glass". You see, I truly, with all my heart believe that every shot I take is initiated by my Heavenly Father. I think of that old song, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." We REALLY can give everything to Him, "what a privilege it is to carry everything to God in prayer." Even my photo sessions.
Oh, "glass" is a term photographers use for our lenses. Hence, God's Glass.....thanks for listening.
