things unseen

so this week i hit a milestone i meet one of my heros. his name is david molnar he is a nashville based photographer who is AMAZING (http://davidmolnar.com/). you should for real check out his work hes a baller. so back to my story i got meet david and his wife tammy, they were incredible, i mean that took great pictures and all but much more than that it blew me how down to earth they were. they honestly cared about what was goin on with me and offered advice on how i could be a better photographer, hope i have a chance to speak into someone like that! david shared a quote with me that really rocked my wolrd, and i would like to share it with you:

ludwig mies van der rohe said,

"God is in the details."

that really spoke to me. i dont know about you but i run around crazy most of the time. i would like to say im an artist(or at least one in training) so im trying to look at crazy angles and weird shapes, though, how often do i look for, as telecast puts it "the beauty of simplicity"? it is crazy to think that as life is happening all around me i stumble through and want to find the bright lights and the loud music, but completely miss the magnificent details just under my feet. do you ever think that God laughs at our prays for beauty and grace, as He says slow down and open your eyes a little more.

anyway, i recently went on a shoot of freemont st, las vegas. as i was there i tryed to see the thing that maybe went unnoticed and were skipped over. my goal was simply to see beauty like perhaps i never had before. my images blew me away! colors, emotions, angles, depth, people, they all moved me somehow tuning me into the these God sized details, it was truly incredible.

so i wanted to share my pictures with you to see if you might feel and see some of the same things i did, i hope you enjoy!

so could we slow down, open up, and see that God is way BIG, but also that He is in the details that often go unseen!
see ya soon
