I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh, no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm.
Oh, no, You never let go
In every high and every low.
Oh, no, You never let go -
Lord, You never let go of me.
~ Matt Redman
So I'm not one who likes to accept something without working for or earning it, and I'm especially not one who likes to just ask for things, but based on some discussion that took place on my previous upload, I've decided to just throw out there, very hesitantly, if anyone wants to donate anything at all towards my camera fund so I can stop relying on borrowing this P&S, you can help me out through PayPal at my email address, mredmond@oru.edu.
But even more than funds, I have appreciated everyone's support. All of you who are my contacts have been absolutely amazing to me, and I so appreciate all of your comments and support, and I have also loved seeing all that your creativity produces on a daily basis.
I blame shhflights, Jeff Presnail, and Lynn Park for this post. I really do feel quite embarrassed and pretentious in posting it. :P You should check out their streams. They all have some amazing work.
Thank you to you all for your support in my journey into the world of photography.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name.
10,000 Reasons (Matt Redman)
I've moved this up for today.
In honor of America, the great Red, White, and Black.
May her righteousness, purity, and greed-free reign continue forever.

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I’ve made it
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul. Psalm 108:1
Have a great day Flickr friends!

That's how much I had to pay to get my truck fixed yesterday, how much I had to take out of the money I had been saving up to buy myself a camera.
Today is my birthday.
Oh well. Life happens.

The framing here is again an experiment with finding a proper framing for a conceptual image using a technique I learned from David Norfolk of selecting the color of the frame from the photo itself. Also, this is an example of capturing the intrigue of the ordinary and using composition to affect more importance than would normally be associated with the subject.
Why is it that we find forms so intriguing, so beautiful? Why do we love order? What is it about geometry, about a simple circle, a triangle, a square--some basic parallel lines--that we find fascinating? And where is it that our idea of these forms come from? No where in nature do we find a perfect sphere, a perfect cube, a perfect tetrahedron. Certainly, we find forms that seem to resemble our ideals of perfection, but how did these ideals, where did this notion of perfection, first originate? We look to the heavens and seem to find order there, but is the order truly natural, or is it order applied to randomness by our own ideas? We also turn to the atomic and subatomic and seem to find perfect order and structure there, but does such order, structure, and perfection really exist, or does it simply seem to exist because of how we perceive it? Is there such thing as natural form and perfection? And what exactly is this idea of form, order, and perfection that we have?
The human imagination just fascinates me... It truly is the most beautiful thing there is, for it is the source of all beauty.
Nomad [noh-mad]
-noun
1. a member of a people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place
2. any wanderer; itinerant.
Driving down the highway yesterday, I saw a biker gang roar past me. I've always been in awe of these guys, these men who wander upon the open road, riding their bikes to wherever life leads them. They are free--free from the cares and worries that lie behind. They just ride, and live.
I've felt like a wanderer as well lately, but it has seemed the furthest thing from freedom. I don't know where I'm going or where life is taking me, and no matter how far I wander, I never seem to be able to escape my past. I don't feel like I have any place to call home, any place to rest my head in peace. I'm a nomad, wandering about in search of freedom.
This gang was made up of combat vets. I can't imagine how hard their pasts must have been. I wonder if they've yet found the freedom their looking for.

Oh and by the way, I took this while going 70mph down the highway. :P
Why do we recognize order? Why do we recognize form?
Does order exist because we perceive it, or do we perceive because order exists?
And what is the source of order? What is the source of form? Is it something that has simply arisen out of our own imagination? Or does it have a definite manifestation beyond ourselves, which is the basis of ourselves and our imagination?
Which came first: form, or imagination?
Hello deleteme.
I hope you like geometry, rationalism, simplicity, and conceptual pieces, because that's about the only crap you'll be seeing from me.
There will be of course some who think it is all "boring," "uninteresting," or pointless; I pity your lack of creative vision and the flat world you must live in.
Or perhaps I just find simple things more fascinating than they actually are...
For Friends of RPS-WR: More on the cloud photo discussion... this being a representation of clouds which already appear somewhat 2-dimensional in nature.

The introduction of phone camera technology has presented an interesting medium to approach photography through. Having a small, portable camera everywhere you go enables you take shots you might have missed before, and because of the ultra-small size of these camera (compared to an average DSLR), pictures can be taken in untraditional and small places that would not have been possible with DSLR. My Blackberry's 2mp sensor does not compare at all to the iPhones 5+mp camera, but I make it work as best I can. It's an interesting challenge to try to create strong photos using such a low quality, plastic lens. But with ever growing technological developments, its only a matter of time before these small lenses may grow to become as effective as today's DSLRs.

I was inspired by friend Josh to bust out my phone camera again. Check out his stream for some great work.
Vengeance is mine.
I told you I was going to do it... and here it is.
Friends, meet soldier68w.
I like to call him Soldier-Bot. :P

This is an experiment with finding a proper framing for the digital medium for an abstract image that has large of amounts of white shades in the composition. Since this particular medium or Flickr is a white page, I've found that images with a lot of white in them are much better framed. Also, this not a heavily processed image and is not a macro.
