Epiphany

Epiphany
I have always thought an epiphany was when I had a revelation of sorts, which does happen occassionally. Well low and behold this past Sunday was epiphany Sunday. Theoretically epiphany means "to be made manifest". Evidently the oldest epiphany observances were based on the Jewish Feast of Lights, now known as Hanukkah. So with that in mind I will share some of my personal epiphanies that have come to me over the last few years.

-Stick yourself out there, it might just benefit you in the long run.

-Life is what you make of it and it can be rather fun if you think of it that way.

-Everyone has issues, just some of us will admit that we have them.

-Life is too short to spend time with people who really are not fun to be with.

-There is beauty all around you, you just have to take the time to appreciate it.

-Ninety percent of life can be viewed as a comedy the other ten percent a tragedy.

-We do learn from our mistakes and if we don’t then we are fools.

-Try to figure out what crazy gifts God has given you and do something with them.

Well you get the point. As to me, I try to find something good in a situation, even the bad ones but other times I wonder just what is going on around me. I feel like this little guy looks. Everything out of my control, maybe that is the point.

The World Up Close

I have been wanting to try some new things so here is my first attempt. They aren't perfect but I feel pretty good about them. Some holiday flowers on their last leg lead me to push that envelope and see what I could come up with.

More Seasonal Color

Today I decided to play around with the last strand of lights I have left up. With some creative focusing and some colorful lights I created a unique shot, at least unique for me. Very simple to accomplish but I think it is fun and different from my normal work.

Fun with colors

Throwing caution to the wind on my basic discipline with my photography, I took great joy in doing the unthinkable and created some fun and different shots from my normal style. I am not exactly sure what my camera captured but I can tell you I set it on a very slow shutter and sort of moved the camera this way and that way and was amazed at the colors it captured.

Welcome

In an attempt to sort through my life I have decided to do some blogging. I hope to be able to sort and find time for taking photos.
