For most of my life I have been trying to capture this beauty of creation. It's been only for the last twenty years that I realized that this beauty belongs to Somebody and His name is Jesus Christ.
Today I cannot even take credit for my images anymore. It seems like God presents His Creation to me wherever I go. It all started, as I recall, when I had health issues and became very restricted on where I could go. As a wildlife photographer, the ability to hike is one of the major qualifications needed. Well, for most of the time, simple walking was not even an option for me. God blessed me greatly with photo opportunities right where I was at - and He still does it today. For example: at the zoo sleeping animals woke up when I stopped by; a dove flew right into my sunset scenery; when taking a picture of a boat in the ocean, a dolphin sprang right into the picture; using the tele-lens as binoculars I had a couple of eagles fly right into the tree I was scouting, sunshine where it was supposed to rain; the most beautiful sunset creations and on and on and on. Sometimes it feels to me that God is putting the world around me on hold, just for a moment, just until I take that precious bobcat picture and then traffic rolls again. Our God is an Awesome God, wanting to be involved in our everyday living. Jesus is not only my Savior, Healer and Friend, He is also the Orchestrator of my photographer life.
“It’s not really me, but when I pull out my camera, God sets the world in motion.”
