Photography and Thankfulness

I have loved photography for a long time. Back in the day with my 110 camera (and then on to 35mm) I was pretty hot stuff. :) I could hardly wait to pick up my film from K-mart to see what I had captured. Now, with the advent of digital photography, I get instant gratification with my picture taking.

I realize now more than ever that my picture taking is a way for me to praise God. When my eye is looking through the camera, I see simple things- things and people- that God put into my life. Capturing them helps me to slow down, to really focus on that which is around me.

I've kind of gotten away from blogging. My plan now is to share some of my photography, along with some random thoughts. Almost all of my pictures will be straight out of the camera- no editing. I like it that way. It makes it more of a challenge for me to get a good shot. Life is not perfect. The only thing I might do to my pictures is add the "1960's tint" from Picnik. I like vintage and this allows me to give my pictures a little bit of a vintage flair.

I hope you enjoy a glimpse of my life as seen by the lens of my camera!

Spot got a letter from Aunt Charity... First she licked it...

Then with some help, she got a taste of the contents.

Happy cat.

Thanks Aunt Charity!

I want my cat's life...
