“While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.” 
― Dorothea Lange

This the essence of an important point about the art of photography.  It is not really about f/stops and shutter speeds.  It is about how we see the world around us (and THAT is not a “camera setting”).

Consider how you see the world around you.  We encourage you to look deeply into your world, your life, your family, your friends, and see with eyes of GRATITUDE for all the blessings in your life.  Make it your mission to use your photography to capture images of what you are grateful for, what you love, what you cherish.  Let your photography be an expression of your faith and gratitude for the life you have been given.

“I find myself experiencing a lot of gratitude out in nature. I took these on my first ride with my new bike. I also seem to be drawn to taking a lot of pictures with the sun coming through the trees.”
