Another World

This sight met us as we were going up the bend in 151 towards my folks house last weekend... a sun and moon set over Lake Winnebago!
Well, needless to say, I told...er....asked j-hubby very politely to pull over so that I could take a picture.

Pretty

Oh, how I missed photographing girls for High school senior portraits- I had done 5 senior guys in a row- so last night's shoot was really a breath of fresh air.
Not to be sexist or anything, but girls, in my experience, tend to be more natural in front of the camera.
Which, if you are a photographer, makes the whole shoot that much easier.

Here's one of my fave's:




Thanks, Meghan!

Photo Challenge #29

I gotta admit- I love this challenge :) (I am not biased at all)

Here are the rules (and the other entries)

I had in mind the exact place that I wanted to go because there was absolutely BEAUTIFUL graffiti all over this abandoned building. But when I got there, somebody whitewashed ALL of those walls. AACH! I was totally bummed, but fortunately there were some freshly tagged areas, as well as spots that were missed by the whitewash.
Another "issue" that I ran into was that I couldn't get onto the property- it was surrounded by chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. So 2 of these shots were taken with my camera up against the chain link, which actually helped to create a natural vignette.

Oh, and did I mention that I took these right after an actual photo shoot- so here I am, a little white girl, walking around with my huge professional digital camera, wearing my nice clothes, in a place that was abandoned. In a neighborhood that, well, you wouldn't find too many gals like me hanging out there. But that just added a little more excitement to the whole thing :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I had a lovely time taking pictures of my friend, Abby, with her family.
They were just awesome people to work with- and a VERY happy family, which made taking pictures even better :)

“Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1)

Are the things I have done, am doing, and will do - contaminating my life?

I find myself asking the question "Is this really good for my business/family/me?
But where is God in all that?

I should ask:

Is this really good for God.

So simple.
So easy to forget.
