My Prayer

Is sit and wait for tonight, after almost a year...due to family desperation and my family being born...I get to see my oldest son. I get to start a new life with him. As I sit sit here reading the bible on my iPad mini...I thank GOD for all he has done for me and what he has blessed me with.

I am grateful for:
My beautiful wife
My four wonderful children

The Photographer's Prayer

Oh God, as I bring my subject into focus and prepare to make each portrait, nerver let me forget that I'm creating treasures for some family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I may draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.

Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer's art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable.

And, dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment ...

Amen
