6 pounds of greatness!

Just got my new AE prism finder for my MamiyaRZ67! pretty excited to test it out. This camera is a beast though, about 6 pounds with lens, back, prism, and body.

Saying Yes

Just got finished up a book by Cindy west called Saying yes: Accepting God's amazing invitation to artist and the Church. The book really changed my views on artist role in the Church and how powerful this gift of art really is. It doesn't talk a whole lot about photography but arts overall and and really questions what are you doing with the gift of art." If we're walking and talking and living today, we have the ability-and the responsibility-to create art that matters, art that offers up to others the gifts of reflection, of newness, of actual transformation." Cindy west.

The vacation was great! the family and I went down to Gatlinburg TN for some R&R, I went indoor skydiving, and white water rafting, so it was fun times. Pics are coming as soon as i attempt to switch out my hard drive for the second time!
