Spontaneity!

I do not like propped photography. I do not like fake smiles nor do i like those corny middles pics by a fake tree!

I do like genuine beauty. A smile that makes You smile. Candid but not really i think that if it was a real candid pic you probably would not get it because you were not expecting it. On the other hand though i think that there is a thing missing from art and everywhere around us. Spontaneity is great, fun, and awesome. Stop thinking so much and live freely. This picture makes me want to smile, laugh and love. This picture has something more than a sporadic snap but a wonderfully timed shot. My love is happy and joyful. We are missing this. I guarantee if you were more spontaneous you would enjoy life more. Who wants to be around tightly wound people that never let loose. Hard at times to really let loose, yes i know but try it more often!
Laughter, Joy and Love is what i see besides the obvious beauty.
sit down and lets talk. communicator i am not. i do admit that i am difficult, hard, and stubborn. Why? i do knot know. Do i like it? hells gnaw! Where do i start? should i have talked more yes. i do not talk enough. Difficult? Why? It should not, and yet it is sometimes. hard? very hard to get along with sometimes. Hard to understand, hard to get along with. but i ask if it wasn't would it be worth it? Stubborn? Like a freaking mule! Genetic? I do not know, but sucks. Very pacifists am i and not proud of it. this chair has nothing to do with the way i feel or needs to be artistically talked about. simply a chair that wants someone to sit and talk or even awkwardly sit silent. Silence sucks but at times is very good. rants these are not. a picture is more than light, shape, and perspective. It should connect. take it or leave it!

White, ducks, lake, peaceful, taking care of, freezing, community, beauty, creation, absence of color, wonder

When i snapped this picture of these ducks nothing but amazement was flowing. I was thirsty to go outside of Caitlin's dorm steal this shot. I watched this duck for a while even long enough for Caitlin to get mad at me. I was just amused by this 20 foot diameter of unfrozen water where 20 or more ducks slept, swam, and survived. The whole lake was frozen except for this area. I watched as this small community played and stimulated my mind. I could only thank God for his beauty and entertainment. I could have watched these creatures for hours. Why look and get an upset girlfriend and free entertainment? I will tell you. Sometimes we need to sit back and observe. Take away time from school, work, reading, watching TV, anything really and be stimulated by Nature. Learn that there are 2 ducks that as soon as they Wiesel in the group, that an alpha duck chases them out.

Learn that the ice around these ducks has white snow that was being artistically drawn by God. The flowing of snow on top was being winded across like brushstrokes or placed in such a way that it makes me want to wonder. God's creation being shoved away. Wonder and exploration is being replaced by alternative media. Yes i like computers, occasional TV, love movies, music, and waste time. but never lose that childish wonder. That urge to go outside and explore. I pray that you can get a hint of how amazing Friday was. I may not be able to express in ways that you can understand but take time and observe these pictures. Better yet LOOK outside and observe for yourself that of which is around you. Explore your emotions,thoughts, ideas. Stop thinking about tomorrow and start worry about missing out on God's beautiful creation.

I do not think that this is just a picture of a bed in a room. It is a room with a bed that has a story. Not just any story but Your story. What is your story? There are things that everyone can see but a bed has sheets that can cover layer by layer of that bed.Just when you think you can cover any up any more you look down and low and behold there is a bed skirt, which means even more hiding space. Made neat for some every day others once a week. Most of the time this neatness is made only when people are looking or will see them. Tucked away with pillows, throws, and throws. You think that your neat life is good with perfectly arranged pillows and 300 count sheets. To some you trick and deceive but others can see the hurt and anguish. So you look at you bed saying the image is complete but in all actuality your bed is
dirty, sick, sinful and needs to be washed and made clean again. Only one person can do such as that; His name is Jesus. So i ask again whats your story?
