Thankful November 19th: Light

I know it may seem obvious and a bit silly to say, but I am so thankful for light, and not just as a photographer. The other evening, we had the most glorious sunset. I was driving and couldn’t stop and grab a picture of it. Sometimes it’s nice to just enjoy the beauty and not worry about angles and f-stops and aperture. C.S. Lewis once wrote “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

Sunday Stills: the Letter B

My uncle passed away last week. After the grave-side services, we released balloons in his honor. It was quite the thing to see.

Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Man-Made Objects

I like how making this photo black & white makes it look like it was taken in the 50s instead of just a few years ago.

A Word a Week: Shadow

This is from the first time I went hot air ballooning. It was on my bucket list and was more fun than I even imagined. If you get the chance, do it!

Word A Week: Underneath

If you have never ridden in a hot air balloon, I highly recommend it. This is the view looking up from inside the basket when the burners are flaming.
