Photography Questions

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Another military conflict in store? No thinks. I’ll sit this one out, too.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

In case you missed it, I’m happy with our latest purchase.
In case you missed it, I’m okay with the frigid weather.
In case you missed it, I’m delighted with our warm home.
In case you missed it, I’m pleased with our life together.
In case you missed it, I’m so glad you led us to this place!
In case you missed it, I’m grateful for everything!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Actually, James and John, I thought you would sit with the servants.”

[The real places of honor for Him, but He didn’t say it like this.]

D. Blog: Common Questions about My Photography

- “Did you take all of these photos?”
[Huh? Yes. I stole them from someone whose work I admire more than my own…]

- “What kind of camera do you use?”
[Huh? Are we interested in technology or in artwork? When I’m in a museum, do I care what kind of brush a painter used?]

- “Is that really what it looked like?”
[Hmm… Do you want realism or art? If you want journalistic photography, that’s seldom art. Besides, a camera might not lie, but it never recreates exactly. Does a painter?]

- “What software did you use?”
[Hmm… In your opinion, is that cheating? Again, are you looking for realism or art? The painter recreates a vision, why not a photographer using another medium?
