NUMBER ONE:  I have found a book that I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND!  This book by Chris Orwig is a must for any photographer that really does want to step up their game!  I was doing research as I start my second series of eBooks this winter and found this book by Chris.  It is a beautiful expression of the creative process and extremely liberating.  I will be quoting him in some of  my new offerings, but certainly would never try to duplicate his efforts, no sense in doing that, he has done it to well.  You can find this book in several forms on Amazon.

 

NUMBER TWO:  An explanation.  I just got and email from a person interested in a future workshop and they asked a very interesting question and it required a response, I liked that.  We often need to review our m motives and this was my response, just for the record the question was “I also saw your Artists for Jesus blog. I’m not quite sure about your intentions there. Maybe you could expand on that.”

 

I have been a believer, born again, and filled with the Holy Spirit for many,
many years, and have always held fast to my faith.  In my personal and
professional life I have subscribed to the philosophy of asking myself
“What Would Jesus Do?” when approaching any decision.  Several years ago
after years of praying for a specific ministry, God led me to start writing a
blog, which has become known as the Pilgrim’s Chronicles.  It is my daily
sharing of what God is doing in my life, what He is teaching me and leading
me to share with others.  During this walk, as He has strengthened me, I
have had another desire, from Him, the stand up for Christ in my profession.
When Jordan Smith, the young man that won the Voice this year (who happens
to be from my home town of Harlan, KY) I was so impressed that his young
21 year old man stood so strongly for his faith and sung songs you would not
normally hear on such a show.  God honored that commitment on his part and
he is on his way to a highly successful career in music.

 

I had to ask myself the question, are you being as bold in your witness?  I
thought I was but felt to compelled, along with friends like Ricky Skaggs the
country bluegrass musician, Jim Haverstock, Ken Jenkins, all photo buddies,
and other friends to form this new organization.  Our sole purpose is to raise
the name of Jesus as we practice our craft, which we believe is God given and
to be shared in such a way as to honor Him.
