{Denver: A Beautiful Place!}

{Khoisan}

Lindenwood had a digital art contest and I entered some of my pictures in it. Students (both graduate and undergrad) submitted animations, graphic designs, digital prints, and photographs. The judges were every selective and only chose about 5 photographs to be on display in Lindenwood's art gallery, and mine was one of them!!
I can not begin to describe to you the feeling of looking at your photograph hanging in an art gallery. I could not thank God enough for this opportunity... I am so humbled! After I found out one of my photos were selected I went to look at it. I went alone and stood and looked at the picture I had seen a hundred times before but in that moment it never looked more beautiful. Looking at the picture was pure worship...
I thank God everyday for the love for photography he has given me, and I am so grateful for this opportunity he put in my life!!

{Camera Day!}

I was going through a dry spell when I took these pictures. I hadn't taken a photograph in months and the night before I took them I told myself I was going to wake up and carry my camera with me everywhere I went that day... needless to say I got some pretty.... "interesting" pictures. I should not be taking pictures before 7 am... they were not very good! Despite my bad luck that morning I was able to come out of my little experiment with a few good shots! Here are some of my favorites!

{the box will never be full}

"Dear Pat,
You came upon me carving some kind of little figure out of wood and you said, "Why don't you make something for me?"
I asked you what you wanted and you said, "A box."
"What for?"
"To put things in."
"What things?"
"Whatever you have," you said.
Well, here's your box. Nearly everything i have is in it, and it is not full. Pain and excitement are in it, and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts- the pleasure of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation.
And on top of these are all the gratitude and love i have for you.
And still the box is not full.

-John"

I am on a journey of loving God and loving people and I will live my life being apart of something bigger than myself. I don't care to change the world, rather to show the people of the world the God that can. This is my box, I will fill it with my adventures, photographs, laughs, and cries. I hope that you enjoy it.
