Emotional Distancing
In times of darkness and difficulty, it is only natural that we look to The Light.
This is a very emotionally moving image for me. Without getting too sappy; this image speaks what my heart has been feeling amidst the recent chaos, confusion, and wholesale upheaval of our world.
In these times, I’m not looking to some activist group or the government or some celebrity or even well-intentioned family and friends for clear guidance and direction. I look to the Light of the World, Christ Jesus and His Word to bring understanding, direction and peace to my life.
I got up early to capture the sunrise at Algoma, WI. However, the sun and sky didn’t provide what I was hoping for. Still, I kept shooting. After all, I’d made the effort to get there, maybe something of interest would emerge. I thought it was pretty much a “learning experience” until I viewed this frame on the computer. The color was pretty bland, so I decided to convert it to monochrome and… Well, I think I found a diamond in the rough. It’s not a great “photographic effort” technically, but it moves me. (That’s why we call it, “Art.”)
I think this image is much more powerful when viewed larger. You can see a full-screen image by clicking on the photo.
