The Big Picture

My Philosophy

I believe that the art of photography (as well as all other arts) has a power. A power all its own, a power so great it can impact even the hardest or persons. But even more so, I believe photography is a way to communicate. With the way a picture can touch someone, no matter what language they speak, what they believe in, or even how young or old they may be. Photography is Gods gift, a gift that can (and should) be used to show His beauty and His design in this world. It is for that same reason I want to become a great photographer, so I can help the world see the big picture. Matthew 5:16 says:

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

That… That is why I want to make great photos. So I can say "God made that, look how amazing He is". And so when someone tells me how great I am, I can say "I have no talent except what He has given me". I want to bring glory and honor to His name through my work!

My work

Over the course of the '07-'08 school year I have been privileged enough to do event photography as well as my nature photography. I have shot many events for a local church, as well as events for the ND-20061, an AFJROTC Corps in Fargo, ND. I also had the opportunity to do a wedding shoot and a senior portrait session in the month of June '08. That is the extent of the "official/unofficial" work I have done since beginning my interest in photography. I hope that this year I will be able to do more events and expand my portfolio for my future career.

Labor Day Picnic

The annual labor day picnic at Normandale Baptist Church. Great fellowship, great food, and great fun! (F.F.F) =D There is a lot I can say about what is in these pictures, but I'm short on time so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves ;-) Enjoy! (please note, there are more pictures than this, and if you want to see them follow the links at the bottem on the post)
