Description
Absolution for humanity. God's message is clear, in the desert, if one only points a lens at it, let alone opens the soul to it. The journey from Kansas to Arizona is like going to church for me. Taken in the painted desert, Arizona.Related content

Thanks, Brittany. This was an experiment to see what I could do with an inexpensive pocket camera that I bought at close-out from a store in LA. It was very hard to compose, given the lack of a view-finder, but I mounted it on a tripod that had cost twice the price of the camera. I guess there's a lesson there. The virtue, I hope, is that I'll be able to mount the little camera on the tripod and hike into more wild places with it, as my usual kit is pretty heavy, given the weight of the glass. Perhaps the flic also proves that the number of megapixels is less important than how they are used, and that light can do a lot of the work for us. Put a watch on you.

That's incredible & thank you for sharing this story about it. It's a perfect way to illustrate that it's less about the camera you use and more about the person who uses it. I definitely hope that you continue this experiment. You've created such a breathtaking photograph from a pocket camera & given the variables about the camera, you've done more than might have been expected.

Wow, what a beautiful place. Works so well in b&w, I think I am finding out I really like b&w, especially with landscapes.

Beautiful, RenΓ©
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

Thank you, Steven, for the beautiful passage. It gives me much that is good to think about. I am fighting the darkness with small efforts as this, and yet even such meagerness helps to refocus me on the light. More light is what we all need in these times of dark thought. I tried to make this conversion un-self-consciously, almost as an aside to the glory that I fail to keep before me. Its hard to remember that the nineteen year old who blows up a child in the name of God, was himself made by God, and is owned by God. I am working on forgiving. So I look to my flics, for what is visible in black and white.
