Find what is right

Snapshotting my way through England, I stumbled upon a black and white film – a novelty in the pre-digital days.

The essence of the world around me surfaced as it was stripped of its mask of colour. I gained an awareness of contrast, lines and composition.

A photographer was born.

My interest was further flamed by subsequent photographic expos that I had the privilege of seeing in London.

The next step in the process was the recollection of the assignment given to National Geographic photographer, Dewitt Jones, who was told to celebrate what is right with the world. This artistic concept, applied to life, may spur us on to capture what is good and positive in creation and others.

Peter writes in Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy – keep thinking about these things.” - ISV
