Time Is Passing By

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up". Galations 6:9 NIV Wow where has all of the time gone? It is so hard for me to fathom that it is 2018. While cleaning out the cubbies in my closet I came across my pocket watch which I rarely wear. It was a gift to me from Lenore on our wedding day. I always try to keep it in my top cubby so that I don't lose track of it. It seemed a fitting subject for today on this second day of the new year. I placed it on an old piece of weathered wood and I photographed it with a macro lens. I think it portrays the passage of time really well. Let's stay focused on doing good for others in the world around us. God's blessings to all in the coming year, chris This image was created with a Canon 7D mkII camera with an EF-S60mm F 2.8 macro lens. The camera settings used were AV mode, ISO 125, F 16.0 at .4sec. Lighting was provided by two orange jelled L.E.D. light panels.

Watching the World Pass By

Yesterday morning I spent a short amount of time out in my photoblind in the Little Lake Valley. The day before I had put up a new bird feeder as I haven't been out there in a couple of months. No birds came to check it out so it looks like I'll have to give them a few more days to find it. Up on the hill behind my blind there is an old farm implement. It sits there on that little rise watching the world slowly pass by underneath it. Many years back when I first started photographing there it had a rusted steel seat on it. Now that has been knocked off and is lying on the ground beside it. Ever so slowly it is rusting away into the ground. Something to ponder and think about. Gods love and tender blessings, chris

From Another Time

It was once again time to clean the office/ studio. In the process of cleaning up I came across this old lighter. Most likely it was from one of our parents. All of them smoked earlier on in thier lives. Now it is more of a collectors item or a museum piece. I was really attracted to the design and lines of the lighter. I began thinking of other images I could tie to it from another time period. I finally remembered some old B+W negatives that I created way back in the eighties. I scanned one as a background. I think they go well together.

God's love and blessings to all,

chris
