His Light Will Shine Upon Me

I pray to you dear Lord as your light shines down on me. It warms me when I am cold and protects me when I am scared. It shows me the way when the path seems dim.

When I pray to you, your voice I can not hear. But as long as I have your light, your message shall always be clear.

Silhouettes

Yesterday I had the privilege to have a good friend of ours come over for a sitting at my home. Jenny and her daughter Madisen had some photos taken and I asked Jenny if I could do a shot of the two of them together. The photo you see is of them in front of a planet which I designed from scratch. The brush was made from one of the photos I had in my collection. I must say I was rather impressed how well it turned out. It is also an example of one type of work which will be displayed in my other blog. "Click this Layer that" is a sight where I will have photos for sale. It is not yet ready but hopefully will be soon.

Kids Against Hunger

There was an event held today at the Municipal Center here in town. "Kids Against Hunger" is an organization which helps feed starving children throughout the world. Our elementary school had all the students from grades K thru 5 come in and help fill packets with rice, soybeans, dried vegetables and flavoring. There was enough food in each pouch to support six meals. Both of our children who are students at the school, attended the event along with my wife and I.

The food is to be shipped out to the children of Haiti. In the few hours we were there, the students were able to fill nineteen boxes. Each box was able to deliver 216 meals with a total of 4104 meals ready to deliver in only a short time.

It gives you a good feeling knowing in some way how you were able to play some part in making those children a little happier. But what touches me most is that here we have children helping children which is something that we as adults can learn from.

There is so much pain and suffering in this world and you needn't go far to see that. Right here within our own borders, people are struggling trying to keep a roof over their families heads. I only hope that within my life time, if not my children's, that the nations of the world can unite and see the real problems that are all around us rather then obsess over money, power and greed. Man only uses ten percent of their brain in a life time, but if we look inside ourselves we can see that we are able to use one hundred percent of our hearts if we learn to to all just get along and help one another.

New Photo Morphing Program

I came across this program from Crazy Talk which allows you to make your photos talk and create facial expressions. I only have the trial version right now but I will be buying it when I have the money. Its very cool and their is so much you can do with it.

Winter brings beauty all around

On Jan. 19th I awoke to yet another day of white trees. The fog had been thick the night before and I knew this would be a perfect day for capturing some beautiful scenes. I hope you all enjoy them

The Beauty of Winter

Several days ago I awoke to fresh fallen snow and white trees everywhere. Though I have had my fill of all the snow falling and gloomy days with no sun light. Its days like this when I enjoy the area in which I live. Nature brings in a sign of how it can entice its beauty upon the world. I hope you all like this photo and have a pleasant and joyous new year.
