Jesus Christ

Weekly Photo Challenge: Abandoned

When I think of the word abandoned I don’t think of buildings.  I think of being abandoned and others that have suffered the same fate.

I think of the crucifixion of Christ.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Let There Be Light!

It was written that God said “Let there be light” and so started the world in a “big bang!”

The Bible states there are many references that Jesus made to light being truth because truth represented holiness.  Many people that have died and come back have mentioned going toward a light and there might be a reason for this.  Jesus wanted all of His children to walk in the light and to be a light for others.

Light is very important to all of us.  We need light to see, we need the light of the sun to grow our food and to be healthy.  As photographers, we know how crucial exact lighting is to our end results.

I believe that we all need to be raised in truth and light for what good is a life lived that does not make the world a better place for you being here?

A Sign in The Rainbow?

You be the judge.

I have always called rainbows God’s promise for as long as I can remember.  The picture you see is from a batch of photos to be processed the morning of the nations worse blackout in the summer of 2003.  August 14th to be exact.  I dropped off about 10 rolls of film to be developed on my way to work that morning, only to have all the power go out in our area later that day.  I started wondering what condition my film might be in because of this.  Anyone who knows anything about processing film knows that timing is crucial or the film is ruined.  I prayed that my film did not get damaged but had to wait for days to find out because of the length the power outage lasted in my area.

All my pictures appeared to be ok as I began to examine them one by one.  I started going through them to find one large stain on a picture and found the negative was stained from chemical residue.  It appeared to me to be the figure of a king of olden times.  Actually like the times when Christ lived.  It appears to be a man with beard and crown in a robe holding a staff.  The image was created during a really odd manifestation of “power”, man literally lost his.  As a child of God, just sayin’.  

In the first picture I have only sharpened this image and cropped it so you can see what I’m referring to.  The second picture I negatived the image and enhanced the lines.
