lifeskills13's photostream

Im new at the photography, i always had a love for art and so without a camera i drew the things i saw. Just recently my husband rewarded me with a digital camera and for the first time im able to capture the wonderful memories with only a click (and some skill full eyes behind it)
I need a lot of work and would be glad to get any comment or ideas from people that view my work (or snapshots lol). I just started in Dec near xmas 2005..so yea im a newb. dont hate me...teach me :)

Some photos are just basicly for my family to say awww too :)

"It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary."
-David Bailey, In "Face" (London), December, 1984

"No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen."
-Minor White
There are an awful lot of people in the world and it's going to be terribly hard to photograph all of them... It was my teacher Lisette Model who finally made it clear to me that the more specific you are, the more general it will be.
Diane Arbus

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
