Great time at Liberty University!

Thanks to all of you that prayed for me and my trip to Liberty University, your prayers were answered!  We had a great time with the students and members of the photo community in Lynchburg.   It has been a great time spiritually and photographically!!  So much so that I’m going back and meeting with Jim and raising the idea of a workshop here in 2015.  This is a really great place to shoot, and fantastic people to hang out with!  There are two many great stories to share in one entry so I will do that in coming weeks, but I would like to show you some of the diverse things we shot while I was here with Tim Isaacson!  Above is the Old City Cemetery and these are the grave sites for slaves killed in the Civil War fighting for both sides!  Very interesting history all around Lynchburg!   Below is one of a number of great antique shops!

 

 

Downtown Lynchburg is very historic and the old Coca Cola Plant is just one of many sites being restored, there is much to shoot right downtown!

 

 

Below several diverse shots all from the Old City Cemetery!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again for your prayers, much was accomplished for the kingdom!

 

 

Blessings,

    Looks like a beautiful place. Wish we had green grass and leaves on the trees here up north. We just had a snowstorm yesterday! 🙂

    Thank you for coming to Liberty. I enjoyed your slideshows and teachings on what you see when you take a photograph and suggestions on what to look for. Also being able to go to the photo shoot at Old City Cemetery.

    We enjoyed hearing you speak Thursday night! We had no idea what to expect. We were moved and inspired by your testimony and your work! (We were the two ladies that ended up mixed in with the college students somehow.) Look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Virginia

    Thank you, Mr. Fortney for coming to visit the students at Liberty University and hope to see you again really soon. I enjoyed the live photoshoot at the Old City Cemetery and didn’t know it even existed until Prof. I put the event on this past week. Your testimony was a blessing and I’m sure God has been using you in marvelous ways!

    Thank you so much for the time you spent here at Liberty University! You and your work were very inspiring. I am so glad I was able to attend your session.

  10. Sorry I am late chiming in. Just wanted to thank you for coming to Liberty and sharing your story and great photography. I am sorry I didn’t get to come out and shoot with you all at City Cemetery.

    I still think about how amazing it must have been to be able to share the aerial trip with your son.

    On another note. The gentlemen I was with mentioned scanning negatives. Don’t know if you got the link but I just printed some of his scans (with the Epson 9900) and they turned out great. Much like a raw file. Here is the link in case you didn’t get the info. http://www.digmypics.com
