Sample 114 - Big Red (Rocks)




You might have noticed this and the above shot from my slideshow video, posted earlier in this blog. 

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
2 Samuel 22:47
and 
Psalm 18:46

* I am very sorry for not being true to my word in posting during the Christmas week this 2013. I can only say that there have been many opportunities this week to take, considering that the year is coming to a close. I pray you see God's faithfulness in your life as much as I definitely have.

Sample 113 - To Colorado, 2008




Denver International

DEN Parking Lot
If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
Psalm 139:9-10

It's pretty timely that I'm posting this set at this time. Colorado 2008 shots will be posted as Christmas comes up next week. God bless you. 

Sample 112 - One Sunset Along Temecula

Yin - Yang




"...those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy."
Psalm 65:8

People can say what they want about sunset shots being too mainstream; but I just have to say, there can be no better way to appreciate the transition of deep orange to blue, than to behold the sun bidding farewell in style. From the sun, to time, to the sky, to the foreground - whether it be on a coast or in the mountains, or on the road - He makes all these beautiful in His time.

Romans 8:28

That verse can also be known as the 'Outtake Verse'. Jesus never wastes His time.

Dust In The Sensor. Lens Flare. 

Lens Flare. Pincushion Distortion. 

The Mount Soledad cross may be torn down soon. But even if the enemy of our souls wipes out the heavens and the earth of any semblance of God's glory, the words of our Savior remain.

Sample 104 - From The Car Seat

These shots were originally posted in my Multiply site. 
 



Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
English Standard Version (ESV)

All Is Vanity

1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher,
    vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
3 What does man gain by all the toil
    at which he toils under the sun?
4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,
    but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
    and hastens to the place where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
    and goes around to the north;
around and around goes the wind,
    and on its circuits the wind returns.
7 All streams run to the sea,
    but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
    there they flow again.
8 All things are full of weariness;
    a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
    nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done,
    and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there a thing of which it is said,
    “See, this is new”?
It has been already
    in the ages before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things,
    nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to be
    among those who come after.

Sample 103 - As We Left The Pier

This is the closest I've gotten so far to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Another shot with the Bridge in the background. This was originally part of a panoramic shot but I chose to crop the rest of the shot out. Distortion was guaranteed.

Here are a few more last-minute clicks before we headed back to L.A. 





You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
Psalm 139:3

Sample 101 - Pier 39


A Tale of Two Seals







Alcatraz

I seemed to have forgotten how you can get so much with a D40 and a kit lens, and a few steps here and there.

Make the most of every trip. We spent two hours (or even less) in San Francisco, and I'd have to distribute my shots in a few posts.

God bless you.
