musings on photography

i love pictures.
i think it's because of the memories attached to the photo. whether it be a picture of a person or an event, it always reminds me of that person or that time and place. it sparks me.
so, as of recently, i've come to greater appreciation of the art of photography. snap shots are great, but i'm amazed when a well-trained and talented individual captures something special. i don't know how they do it, but in a two-dimensional print, you can see depth.
and so it is with kara's senior pictures. we don't have them all in just yet, so i'm not going to post them (na-na boo boo). but, those of you who know kara well will be able to see an external showing of her internal beauty. i can't explain it, but once you experience it, you'll understand, too. she has been blessed to work with two amazing photographers for her senior picture project--one we know well as a friend, one we'll probably never see again.
but, for them both i thank the Lord for the artistry that shows us the beauty of kara.

Lord above, kara is so precious to me and i am blessed to have her in my life. thank You for showing me the beauty in Your creation of her. thank You for allowing her to rise above the limitations held for her for so long. we dedicate her life to You--use her as only You can.
