To the computer, time passing is just a series of zeros and ones, line after line, after line of them stretching all the way to infinity. The machine is potentially immortal; it could turn numbers into pixels until the end of time. But to our human perceptions, trapped by the finite beating of the heart, the pixels flickering on the monitor screen, are like the ticking of the doomsday clock. Yet these little windows on the world are strangely beautiful in their other worldly way. Take some time, take some more, time is passing, the time of your life, the earth rotates, seasons come and go, the machine sorts zeros from ones, as another thousand tiny bursts of phosphorescent light dance to the rhythm of the wind and the tide. -Chris Welby
This is probably why I love photography. It forces me to slow down and appreciate the things around me that we usually take for granted. A window may seem so ordinary to some, but to an avid photographer, it could be the most beautiful piece of art that needs to be captured at the right moment in time. For me, photography is about appreciating God's creation--whether it's a landscape, a beautiful sunset or perhaps an innocent face of a child. It's also freezing those special moments in other people's lives. I had the pleasure of capturing those moments this past weekend when I attended a wedding and baptism.
