Everything Looks Better in the Moonlight

Everything looks better in the moonlight! I love the subtle light of the moon, and I never really realized how difficult it is to capture the beauty of the moon!

The clouds were so beautiful, and I loved the shape and colors of this cloud formation!

image_5

I love playing with shadows, especially is such subtle lighting.

This final picture is full of flaws, which is exactly why I love it! It reminds me of Hogwarts haha

Every time I look at the moon and the stars I am amazed by the beauty of God's creation! No man-made wonder of this world can ever compare to the moon! God is quite the artist!

Thanks for reading :)
I will post again soon!

New York Day 7, Where Texture and Color Meet

Today was my last full day in the wonderful New York City! I spent the day exploring the different cultural areas of the city, and I was amazed by how much diversity dwells in the same general area. You can walk down canal street and pass through china town and little italy and soho.... which is exactly what I did.

Every cultural area was very distinct and full of vibrant colors and interesting textures. So much diversity, yet it all works together on this little island!

With many cultures comes many religions. I came in contact with people of all different beliefs, yet I feel like this city is longing for Jesus Christ! This week has really motivated me to share the joy I have found in my savior!

This has been an absolutely amazing week! I have really grown as a photographer, performer, and a christian! I cannot wait to continue exploring the world around me, and I will continue to share my findings with anyone who cares to read them! I will miss this city!

Thanks for reading,

New York day 6, City Scenery!

Everywhere I look there is something interesting and a little different to snap a picture of! My camera has been practically attached to me, and I must look like a complete tourist as im taking pictures on the subway haha! There is so much diversity and contrast here.

image_1

I love it when a picture is symmetrical.... but lately I have really enjoyed making them intentionally a little off balance. In the subway picture above, I intentionally focused on a rail that was off center.... I like that your eye has to do a little searching before you notice what exactly is focused.

image_4

These are all examples of something that is just a little off balance, Am I crazy to think that its really interesting? Maybe I am, but at least im breaking out of my symmetry bubble!

If anyone wants to see something specific, please leave a comment and I will do my best to make it happen! Im having a blast with this blog..... and I hope at least one person enjoys reading it :)

New York day 5, we come and we go.

Transportation...... its gets us where we need to go. We are always moving, always progressing, always going somewhere.

God is always opening and closing doors. He controls the final destination, and He decides when I should move and when I should just be still.

I wonder if we every miss out on the beauty of where we are because we are always looking ahead to where we want to be. Sometimes I find myself becoming to focussed on my future, and I forget that God placed me where I am right now to serve him.
