Brent Grenda and Lindsey Watkins' Engagement

Brent and Lindsey are both good friends of mine that recently became engaged to each other.  We were hoping that the weather would hold out for either Sunday or Monday but the forecast looked grim for weather.  We decided to play it by ear and prayed for good weather.  Instead of just good weather we got amazing weather with an amazing sunset to finish off the day.

I cant pick my favorites because I love them all.  I love capturing these moments of two people in love.  Capturing life, its what photography is all about.

Controversy

I have a reputation of being controversial and having the ability to say whatever no matter how bad it might seem.
I thought to myself that I need to change a lot of my speech to glorify God, however, God made me a controversial person. In times such as these, we need to be able to be controversial so that truth might be established.

So, why not use this gift of controversy that God has given me? I like it when people say, "ouch" after something I say, I just need it to be a necessity when spoken as well as truth.

My favorite photograph is one that has to do with my dislike for the military. To this day, no other photo has caused as much controversy. I want to bring this side out of me again. Anybody can take a picture of a pretty sunset, but not many can inspire and move people with a meaningful photo that speaks truth.

This is my goal, and this is my next phase in photography. Stay tuned, for the photos I have planned are coming your way.

Man Up - Men's Retreat

Last weekend a group of about 40 guys went out to the mountains of North Carolina for fellowship and spiritual renewal. This trip was an amazing experience and I am glad that I was blessed to go.

The weather conditions werent ideal for camping, it rained and was very cold. Yet despite these few set backs we still continued to do what God intended for us to do. Needless to say, the weather didnt stop anything from happening.

The mornings started off with breakfast and then some prayer and worship followed by a message. On Saturday one team headed into the mountains while another group went white water rafting. Those that went into the mountain hiked to the top and then rock climbed. It was quite a workout to say the least. The greatest part of the trip was seeing so many people conquer their fears with their fellow brethren.

We all came back with a great bond with our fellow brothers and we all knew it was a "marker" in all of our lives.
