"LIGHT." "Camera." "SMILE."

10/22/13
Armed with only a Canon point and shoot, I take a picture that makes me smile.

Yet, photographer Molly, searches out the light because “Light in photography" is everything, according to her. Always embrace the light. She uses her eye to do that but her “eye” is supported by her textbooks and course manuals that taught her “light meters read and photographers interpret.” Light can actually stir the soul.

Philosophically, all of that photography jargon seems analogous with the theology of those who see Jesus Christ as the Light of the World. (John 8:12) The important Light. The Light that gave definition to creation (Genesis 1:3) and stirs the soul. Knowing the One who is Light is everything to a Christian.

Sometimes just seeing light captured in creation reminds me of the One who created that light... 
…..and I simply smile.
