Ansel Adams Project

2010-02-25T20:18:00.000-08:00

I believe that God gives people gifts, but it depends on how they use those gifts that make a difference. If anyone has ever desired to be a photographer or just loves photography, they have probably heard of Ansel Adams. This man truly had a gift to take pictures and he captured some of the best pictures of God's splendor and variety in nature. I love all of his pictures,(as far as I've seen anyhow) but especially his black and white shots. I have a few picture projects floating around in my head and one of them was this Ansel Adams project. My pictures don't even come close to touching Mr. Adams' work but because of his gift, I have been inspired and even driven sometimes to continue taking pictures. Obviously his work is not my only or even my first inspiration or motivation, but it is contribution to mine and I'm sure other's love for photography. I would like to post these pictures in respects to Ansel Adams and I would encourage picture lovers to check out his work.

A FEW FAMILY SHOTS

2009-12-21T12:41:00.000-08:00

These are our latest family shots. These were quickly done on a tripod at my oldest sisters house. Lord willing we will get some more thought out time consuming pictures, but until then enjoy these shots of my beautiful girls.

ZION

2009-12-21T11:55:00.000-08:00

To see Zion with your natural eye is simply amazing. A person could spend months hiking, camping and soaking in all of the hidden jewels of Zion. We took a couple of hours and with just hitting the tip of the iceburg, I am taken back at the Mind of God. If He can create this and capture the heart and soul of a man, I am excited to think of what He has in store for His children. All of nature testifies of The Lord Jesus Christ, but Zion is especially a grand witness of His Majesty. Enjoy these few pictures, but if you have the chance go and see it for yourself, words, (nor my pictures) can describe Zion. One more thing, if you go to Zion, even if you don't claim to be a photographer, TAKE YOUR CAMERA!!!

Poor Jordan :(

The brother-in-laws rejected him for taking their sister, and the girls didn't want him imposing on their photo. Poor fellow, won't anybody show him that they love him? It's ok Jordan, I'm sure when Strayer family picture time comes around you will shine like a star!

Buchanan Family at Oak Creek

2009-10-31T12:01:00.000-07:00

Brian and Debbi Buchanan. Debbi is my oldest sister and I grew up with their children ( my nephews and niece ) as my best friends and playmates, so it was a real joy and pleasure to take their family pictures in such a beautiful setting. Despite what Debbi thinks she and Brian take a beautiful husband and wife picture. I want to thank The Lord Jesus for watching over and keeping the Buchanan family through all these years. They have been through a lot and we are still looking forward to the finished work that Jesus Christ has in His perfect plan. Praise The Lord for His children and His lovely creation of nature, both make for beautiful pictures.

South Carolina Family Trip

2009-10-29T20:22:00.000-07:00

These are the pictures from our latest trip to South Carolina. Some of these were actually from Georgia and some from the zoo in S.C.. The landscape is so different back east, everything is so green and soft, and as we've been taught the environment matches the people so many times. You can't help but love the southern hospitality, I know I sure do. We had such a good time and it was such a blessing to get the entire family together and fellowship around The Word of God. I married into the best family a man could want. There is such unity amongst us all and it is only by God's Grace. These pictures show beautiful faces and beautiful surroundings but they can't show the real beauty of the life of The Lord Jesus in our lives. I am thankful that we were able to not only see It but be around It and part of It. I'm so glad I serve a God of variety. Thanks Sarah for the suggestion of a title on the blogs.

Abigail had her first birthday party, woohoo!!! It was a birthday party that won't soon be forgotten. She is such a social butterfly it's hard to keep up with her and all of her friends. A V.I.P. only party brought some interesting things with it. Miley (the bouncer) kept the freeloaders away and bullied anybody that even looked crossways at Abby, and then helped tear into the cupcakes. Cousin Tessa gave the most heart warming birthday speech ever and concluded with a party noisemaker salute and a huge baby drooly kiss, and then helped tear into the presents. But probably the biggest surprise of all was the guest appearance by Snow White herself. Who knew my youngest daughter even knew one of the most beloved princesses of all time? I'll tell you what, I don't know what is in store for Grace and I, having birthday parties of this caliber are going to be hard for us to match each year. Thank you to all of Abigails fans, supporters, V.I.P. friends, family, management, diaper changing team, and Sam's Club for selling the food to us. On a serious note, it was great and I want to thank The Lord for such beautiful, healthy girls. The Lord knows how I love them and cherish the time I have with them.

These are the pictures I helped with at my niece's wedding. I was mostly responsible for the groom and groomsmen pictures and assistance on the ceremony portion also. The guys were so fun to work with and they had no problems posing for a few hours while the bride and bridesmaids had their share of pictures taken. The main photographer at this wedding was Mrs. Sarah Neal ( check out her blog http://photographydesigner.blogspot.com/) who shot some amazing pictures. The pictures at the top were from the reception tent and everything turned out beautifully. A glorious event and a lot of work put into it. Thank the Lord for overseeing the entire occasion.

Melody is having Madison over tonight for a sleep over and they wanted to do something fun so we took all the girls to the park and played for at least an hour. I thought it would be a good time to get some pictures of our little ladies. Thank the Lord there are still a few places we can take our daughters where we don't have to worry about a negative influence on them. I love my family so much and I'm blessed to have such beautiful girls (thanks to their momma).

We were out the other day watering our new lawn,( thanks Luke ) and the grass was so green, the weather so nice, and our daughter's soooo beautiful so I thought it would be nice to take a few pictures. Not only that but we hardly have any pictures of Abigail. These turned out nice so I thought I would post them. Melody is such a camera hog, she would barely let me take any pictures of her sister and then she would want to be in the picture. She looks like such an adult in the ones where she is laying down with her head propped up on her hands. I don't know what I am going to do with her growing up so quick. I trust the Lord will guide me but even so come quickly Lord Jesus. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful family. I guess I need to post some pictures of all of us, but sister Grace can never decide on any pictures with her in them. Until next time, God Bless.

Today Melody and I were eating some orios and she was looking so cute even with the huge mess she was making.

We were taking some pictures of Hannah Mclearn and Melody just had to get some shots so I thought I would get some pictures of her dunlap disease. She'll want to kill me when she gets older but thank the Lord we have these moments now.

This last weekend we went down to Payson, Arizona to take some pictures of the last of six Mclearn children, little Shekinah Grace. She was 7 lbs. and 20 inches long, born May 29 to Matt and Alena Mclearn. We were there with our very dear friends for the birth but I find that babies look much better in pictures a few days after rather than immediately after birth. At some point I will have to go again so I can get full family pictures with the Mclearn's and I'm sure Matt will be extatic about that. God bless the Mclearn family and I pray the children will grow to be as lovely a christians as their parents. We love and appreciate the entire family.

These were some pictures I took awhile ago of Melody. Just wanted some fun shots and needed to experiment with my camera. The Lord has given us such beautiful children and I always enjoy spending time with them and taking pictures of them. They grow up so fast and I think pictures give us the opportunity to revisit the past and thank God for the things He has given us.

This is Tessa Michelle Buchanan on Easter, She is such a Doll! I have to take the credit for this one I don't think she would have been so cooperative if it was reg taking this picture. Picture taken and posted by Grace Plett.

These are some pictures I just took of Abigail in the crib. We have a lot of pictures of our first born Melody but hardly any of our latest darling. Thnx Sarah for the tip on those actions, I love them and what a time saver.

Praise The Lord for His children, His creation, and for allowing us to be a part of it. These are pics from our trip to Lake Powell, enjoy.
