I have a passion for photography. To shoot an image and portray it in a way that is seen through my eyes or how I would like to envision it is not only a challenge but a style of art I truly enjoy.
My family consists of my husband Gregory, daughters Jasmine & Daniella & two cats, Gizmo & Mufasa. We reside in the Florida Keys with the goal of moving on a liveaboard sailboat and follow where the wind leads us...
This poem was brought to my attention by a BetterPhoto Gallery Member and I like the meaning in it and thought I would post it.
A Photographer’s Prayer:
O God, as I bring my subjects into focus and prepare to make each portrait, never let me forget that I am creating treasures for some family -- a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others that I may draw out into light, the beautiful, radiant belongings of their hearts.
Help me, O Lord, to be an artist collecting beauty of every soul -- the flow of youth, the wisdom of age, the gentleness, the strength, the laughter or the tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than the means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographers' art as a service to others -- making life richer and more memorable.
And, Dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs, and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment.
Amen.
