This inspirational photography image was taken in my neighbor's yard in Millers Creek, NC. I like it because it reminds me to take time away from the busy week to rest and spend some quality time alone with God. As a Christian, I believe in setting aside the Sabbath as a special God-ordained day to cease from all my work in order to focus on God and spend time enjoying Him. To me, the Sabbath is a day to rest in God's goodness, enjoy His presence, and spend quality time with my family and friends as well. This landscape image speaks volumes to me about remembering the Sabbath by keeping it holy. I don't see it as some religious legalistic rule, but rather it has become for me the favorite day of the week because I get to relax, pull away from work, focus on God, enjoy my family, and have some great fellowship with my friends. I thank God for the Sabbath, and for giving it to man to bless us in so many ways. I hope this fine art image inspires you to take some time away from life's busy schedule to spend alone with God.

Inspirational Photo Landscape of Lake Norman Sunrise
I believe inspirational photography is designed to evoke a sense of wonder and awe at the beauty of God's creation. What's more beautiful than an early morning sunrise on Lake Norman, NC, presented in a landscape format? As a Christian, I worship the God of all creation, and not the creation itself. Watching this sunrise scene unfold was like watching a Master Painter painting a masterpiece across his canvas. To me this makes the photograph a valuable piece of fine art and a one-of-a-kind original. Enjoy this photograph and let the sense of awe rise up in your heart.

Inspirational Photography of Window-Lit Child
This inspirational photography image was taken in my basement using natural diffused window light that gently lit up my daughter's sweet face. I see wonder when I look at her in this photograph. I like the way that the light fell across her face, while leaving some of her features in the shadows.

Inspirational Photography: Bridge to Light
WINNING PHOTO FOR JULY 2007: Every month our Blue Ridge Photographic Society has a photography contest around a different theme. This July the theme was "Bridges." When all the votes were in, there was actually a tie between Josiah Friberg and Alisha Hauser, for the best bridge photo. For some reason some members thought we needed a tie break, so they voted again and chose this photo, "Bridge to Light," as the tie-breaking winning photograph of the month. By the way, this was photographed in Moravian Falls, just off of Highway 16 South, near the brick Baptist Church. I was fortunate to arrive early one foggy morning with my tripod, and I proceeded to shoot the bridge from every angle. I loved the way the morning light was trying to pierce through the fog in the trees which created a sense of wonder and awe in my heart. Glory to God for creating such a beautiful scene for me to capture!
