Genesis 1:14-18
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

I once read that photography is the art of painting with light. I guess this makes sense, because without light there is no photography. I love to play with the light and look for unusual patterns, silhouettes, and creating flare or sunburst.
Is it possible that there is anything that has been photographed more than the sunrise or sunset? Why is this? There is no shortage of them. They happen daily... unless you live along the Bay of Fundy where fog is a fifth season. The contrast in light, dark, yellows, reds, oranges and God beams make for visual eye candy.
Ansel Adams once said "Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter." - For me it is definitely true ~ Most often I feel that God is the real artist not me, I just happen to be there to record it. I can adjust a shutter, aperture and edit a photo on my computer but I don’t feel like I can take the full credit. Without God as the creator and designer of the universe there is nothing to photograph.
He has provided me with the Earth as a masterpiece to enjoy and document as photographer. As I do this, I hope others will see something unique or perhaps something common, but have a new appreciation for the world through my images. With every excursion, hike or drive I’m reminded that God is the ultimate artist and I have a responsibility to tread careful around his gallery as I enjoy it. I hope you will too. He provided free admission so it’s the least we can do.
