"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and self control."2 Timothy 1:7
My digital photography to celebrate the wonder of God's creation in praise of His name. (Click each photo for larger image) If a sunset is majestic, it's because God is majestic. If a child is delightful, it's because God is delightful. If a flower is beautiful, it's because God is beautiful. God did not create anything that gives us more pleasure than Himself.
At Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia, the tops of many huge granite rocks are covered in black. At first, I thought they were just "polluted" from acid rain. It wasn't until I saw little puddles of tar on rock after rock that I realized what the black coating was ... it is tar from an oil spill. Here is one such puddle of tar which looked to me like the earth weeping ... pollution breaks my heart ...
I had a great time in Baltimore at the Care Net Conference as their photographer. My life has been changed by being with these awesome people! God is amazing. See all my photos of the conference HERE. (No, this is not a photo of Baltimore ... it's Toronto, ON at sunset on my way home ... I just thought it was cool to get a shot from the air that didn't look too bad considering how scratched the plane window was :) )
I was honored to be the official photographer for the Care Net Conference in Atlanta Georgia last fall. See the album HERE.
Christy Hodder and her fiddle troop and special guests were fantastic last evening at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville. You can see all my photos of the evening HERE.
As I stooped down to take a closer look at this pond beneath a blazing maple, the wind was brushing the surface so gently and playfully that the entire surface seemed to be "alive" with action and just then, two leaves hit the water one after the other and I could almost hear music - like God was playing a symphony right there before my eyes ... He's so cool!
Full Lunar Eclipse tonight ... but the clouds moved in ...
Had the privilege of covering Troy MacGillivray's concert last night at the Wolfville Theatre. You can see all the photos at http://imaginethatphotography.ca/Troy%20MacGillivray
When I was at a conference in San Antonio, Texas, this fall, I walked downtown to visit the Alamo. After supper down by the river, I thought I'd return to see what it looked like at night and the moon was just rising behind the fortress and I was able to take this shot. The story of the Alamo is one that inspires people even today who face extreme resistance and who find that defeat can be a rally cry for future victory. May your heart be encouraged to rise one more time than your enemy and give the glory to God.
Photographing oil paintings is an art all in itself. I recently had the opportunity to photograph a few paintings from a local artist and thought they turned out very well. You can view them at http://imaginethatphotography.ca/Moyer2/album/
"My goal and passion as a photographer is to show the beauty of God's creation
so that people may be challenged to look beyond themselves." Ken Duncan's basic philosophy
is best summed up by these words of truth from the Bible. "For since the creation of the
world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly
seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
(Romans 1:20)
