My name is Bill Fortney, I\u2019m a Kentucky based photographer, committed\u00a0Christian, and husband of fifty three years.\u00a0 I have three married adult children, and six wonderful grandchildren.\u00a0 Though I\u2019ve been a professional photographer for many years, I\u2019m happily now, a very serious amateur shooter.\u00a0 I now shoot and teach for the sheer joy of it.\u00a0 My greatest commitment is to be a worthy servant of Jesus Christ, a good husband, father, and grandfather.\u00a0 I also want to be a faithful friend to those that\u00a0have honored me by allowing me to be their friend.<\/p>\n

This website is a place anyone can come for spiritual inspiration, photographic instruction, and fellowship.\u00a0 My only goal is to honor my\u00a0Heavenly Father and share his love, compassion, forgiveness, and grace\u00a0with others.\u00a0 You are welcome and invited to visit here often!<\/p>\n
