Un-rusting a passion

This past year I have gotten myself back in the groove of photography......and my heart and my heavenly father are happy. When there isn't a photo class where there is a consequence to turning in work or when there isn't a chunk of time that is a priority, it is hard to make it happen. A big reason is we don't always give our passions priority. If it doesn't pay bills, provide insurance, or give you notoriety/advancement we seem to label it as unimportant. This is a false reality, our passions are gifts God has wired us with to keep us engaged and energized to get through the mundane. My passion (at least one of them) is photography. God opened a whole new view to his creation's beauty and the beauty of people for me through photography. My favorites are real moments, when people are being people and capturing minute and overlooked details in the world around me. I've walked by many things for the past few years and thinking "that would be an amazing photo," but sadly I didn't make time to take them. That's changing.
