i just needed to get out and shoot...cabin fever big time

and here is something i have realized on why i think i am so drawn to photography:
it makes me slow down and look at things at a different angle
there is nothing i like better than finding a great new spot or location to shoot...it makes me feel as though i have discovered something new and i have the chance to reveal that to others

and then while i was out tonight God spoke to me about how that's the same desire He has placed in me when it comes to relationships...i love meeting new people and helping them to discover what it is i see in them. i also love when God reveals more of Himself to me which is usually in those times when i get away, quiet myself, and allow myself to look at situations and circumstances at different angles

so, it was just a really good time of shooting tonight...eventhough it was mostly just a big hunk of rusted machinery

i love espresso...especially having a cup early in the morning when everything is quiet

the shot with the church building was a pretty long exposure to give it that blown out look
the rest were usually 4-6 seconds

random ones from the night

went out to eat at this place called The Station in norcross before enjoying the fireworks

the high school people leading worship for the youth in costa rica recorded a cd of the songs they are doing

they made about 75 copies to be able to give the students...and it's all in spanish
all of them are so incredibly talented and it was great to see the hard work they put in to preparing

way to go guys
