Many of you know that one of my favorite things to do is take photos. So much so, that I have a side business in photography. This is what I have come to love about taking photos…I can control light. I control how much I let in. I control how much I allow to hit my subject. I control where the light goes. I control the intensity. I have the ability to control light. I love that I can make a seemingly dark area come to life with just a little bit of light. I love that there are different ways and different modifiers that help you produce different kinds of light for different settings.

I LOVE LIGHT!!!

As I began to think about this the other night I was reminded of John 12:46 where Jesus says, “I have come into the world as light, so that no one who believes in me should live in darkness.” The reality is, is that if we love THE light, then we get to control the light that is given to the world around us. We control how much light we let out. We control where light goes. We control the intensity of the light to the world we come in contact with. We can take seeming dark areas of the world and bring them to life with just a little bit of light. Just like photography, we have different ways and different modifiers that we can use to produce light to all kinds of people. Your modifier may be music, the arts, sports, conversation, or a myriad of other things but the reality is that all of these modifiers produce good light to a seemingly dark world. I LOVE LIGHT!!!

Where do you need to bring light to? Also, what is your unique modifier of light to the world and how can you use it?

When I was a kid I believed that anything was possible. My guess is you did too!!! I don’t know what happens to us between being a kid and being an adult that makes us forget that we have endless possibilities. God designed us to live a life of the endless possibilities. As I look to living a better story and helping others do the same we have to get back to that childlike state of knowing we can do anything as a long as God has called us to it. So question of the day is this…

What Endless Possibility Have You Neglected That You Need To Begin Living Out?

Starting shooting some portraits with an Alien Bee 22″ Beauty Dish with an Alien Bee 1600w Strobe. This was one of the first shots I took of my partner in crime Mr. Cal Knapp. Love the light and the catch lights in his eyes. If ya want some shnazzy photos like this one, just hit me up!!!

He he has been playing piano since he was five years old and now at the age of 51 he is finishing his first full length album. These are songs that have been in him for the past 45 years. Songs that he has written in books and on pages decades ago and is now putting them into rhythms and sounds.

I have heard the rough tracks and they are great. It is classical meets love song. He pours out his soul for his wife, his son and his daughter. He is a man that has had a dream and now he is making it come true. Without further adieu here are some of my favs.
