• Title:	Shadow of a Man
• Media:	Digital Photograph
• Date:	2004

A shadow wavers and shifts with light.
It defies the fine detail of an image
and when compared to truth,
a shadow falls short.

If we forget that Jesus was a man, just as much as He was Divine, we focus on the shadow of Jesus Christ and do not truly know Him or know His ministry and we miss some of the magnitude of the message.

This is the message I hope to relay with this photo entitled, “The Shadow of a Man.”

Where the emphasis is on the shadow, the eye is drawn first to the shadow then to the man. It is symbolic of the way we tend to view Christ; we see His shadow first and then we see the Man. But once we see the Man our eyes cannot linger long on the shadow; they are intrinsically drawn back to the Man. Just as with Christ, we should not be able to go back to gazing intently at His shadow once we know Him

• Title:	Shelter from the Storm
• Media:	Digital photograph
• Date:	2005

“Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge; someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." -Bob Dylan

• Title:	Angel
• Media:	Digital photograph
• Date:	2003

“Whether or not each believer has a single angel assigned to him for his defense, I dare not positively affirm. When Daniel introduces the angel of the Persian and the angel of the Greeks, he undoubtedly intimates that certain angels are appointed as a kind of presidents over kingdoms and provinces. Again, when Christ says that the angels of children always behold the face of his Father, he insinuates that there are certain angels to whom their safety has been entrusted. But I know not if it can be inferred from this, that each believer has his own angel. This, indeed, I hold for certain, that each of us is cared for, not by one angel merely, but that all with one consent watch for our safety. For it is said of all the angels collectively, that they rejoice ‘over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance.’ ” -John Calvin
