..on the floor. And he's standing. Like, right over me... I'm sure these things don't factor in, though.

The idea was to put your camera off your eye, and develop the ability to see the world from a different perspective.
Thanks to Alfie @ Japanorama for running the show.
Two different perspectives I have gone through recently expressed by the magnetic poetry on my fridge.
Perspective One:
I face the cold black // the dreams // we planted // are all but dead // I am only a shell // wanting more than this
Perspective Two:
Face the morning sun // the dreams I plant // are journeys that can bloom // I am a wandering wind // wild & full of life
This the final touch in a series of art photos I took during my "God at work in the arts" track.The title is "it's all how you look at it." In the first frame we saw merely a young tree broken in high winds. The next may look some what similar but a close look can reveal something coming. The third frame taken from the opposite side reveals the light inside of the broken tree forming a cross against the dark bark. The final frame affirms the 3rd and brings into focus what all the other angles couldn't have done alone. In the midst of the brokenness and the dark the cross breaks thrusts all obstacles to the side like he always does. Don't be fooled by the mundane circumstances of everyday life. There is still one who pushes back the walls to reveal a bright shining world that few know of and even fewer visit. This person is our God.
