Denver Monday, December 28, 2009

So I finally made it to Denver, after a bit of a flight delay and it's looking great so far. For those of you who don't know, I'm here working on the media team for this 3 day event. So what is it?

From Convention Site (www.myWYcon.com)

"- Three intense days of powerful speakers, artists and community focused on pursuing God’s call for their lives and expressing worship for our Savior Jesus Christ.
- These Wesleyan Youth Conventions seek to bring the simple truth that God’s Word challenges us to face the needs of our world by asking us do these three things. Embracing Micah 6:8 helps settle the dust and the noise from the world and turns our focus toward the important…the eternal. - Love Mercy ‘09 will be a catapult launching students out to live for God in their schools and in their communities. You’re invited you to be a key player in seeing a generation become all that God desires and empowers them to be."

So I'll be photoblogcasting (yes that's made up) from each rally and everything that's going on here.

From the soundcheck today:



Can't make it to Denver, follow along here and on twitter and get the next best thing!

Getting back into the swing of things... Saturday, December 05, 2009

My, my , my how busy life has been ever since I returned to the states. I've been quite lax in the blogging department and now that I have some downtime I'm working on keeping this updated more frequently. More after the click.

Since I've been back, I've jumped back into photographing portraits but as of late it's been with more of a editorial and promotional twist. This past month I've been working with Mike Peterson, founder of www.MyRawFitness.com to create some interesting photos for his business. These are some samples of the first half of the shoot. More to come.

As You Jump Into Fall... Thursday, October 01, 2009

Consider this. I read this from C.H. Spurgeon's Morning and Evening via E-Sword (A definite).

October 1

Morning
“Pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.”
- Son_7:13
The spouse desires to give to Jesus all that she produces. Our heart has “all manner of pleasant fruits,” both “old and new,” and they are laid up for our Beloved. At this rich autumnal season of fruit, let us survey our stores. We have new fruits. We desire to feel new life, new joy, new gratitude; we wish to make new resolves and carry them out by new labours; our heart blossoms with new prayers, and our soul is pledging herself to new efforts. But we have some old fruits too. There is our first love: a choice fruit that! and Jesus delights in it. There is our first faith: that simple faith by which, having nothing, we became possessors of all things. There is our joy when first we knew the Lord: let us revive it. We have our old remembrances of the promises. How faithful has God been! In sickness, how softly did he make our bed! In deep waters, how placidly did he buoy us up! In the flaming furnace, how graciously did he deliver us. Old fruits, indeed! We have many of them, for his mercies have been more than the hairs of our head. Old sins we must regret, but then we have had repentances which he has given us, by which we have wept our way to the cross, and learned the merit of his blood. We have fruits, this morning, both new and old; but here is the point-they are all laid up for Jesus. Truly, those are the best and most acceptable services in which Jesus is the solitary aim of the soul, and his glory, without any admixture whatever, the end of all our efforts. Let our many fruits be laid up only for our Beloved; let us display them when he is with us, and not hold them up before the gaze of men. Jesus, we will turn the key in our garden door, and none shall enter to rob thee of one good fruit from the soil which thou hast watered with thy bloody sweat. Our all shall be thine, thine only, O Jesus, our Beloved!
