Gracias
I just want to pour out all my thank yous for all the 200 watchers that find my work worthy of notice. I am glad to be a part of something so big as dA is now. I just hope the future of this great communtiy isn't too much disrupted by the °jark vs $spyed debacle.

Timing is everything
It has almost been 2 years since I joined dA and I plan on buying a d70 before that time is over. This summer I haven't been taking many pictures as I have been working at Hewlett Packard so much saving up for that dslr. When I finally do buy that d70 I plan on using it to my fullest potential. So I plan on being here another 2 years and only geting better as an artistic photographer.

A book closed causes another to be open
Well I finished Blue Like Jazz [link] and I feel my walk with the lord this summer wasn't where it should be. The book, to me means change. Don Miller went through so much in his life and was so real but he always reiterated change and that we as christians can't ever be stagnant. He and a friend gave up everything to go live with liberal hippies in the woods who weren't believers. The part that hit me hardest was that those very same liberal hippies were more loving and and didn't care about the petty stuff many hypocritical christians do when they judge others. The hippies loved everyone unconditionally instead of how many christians say they love unconditionally but we always tend to love under conditions. What this means to me is that we love the people that are like us like the other christiansin this world. Many christians for example don't really love muslims unconditionally. I think the only thing that matters for christians is to love one another as yourself and everything good will come out of that. But that in and of itself can be the most rewarding thing on earth but yet the hardest thing to do.
