my favourite thing to shoot

my favourite thing to shoot of all time is cemeteries! i first got hooked on them when i first took color 2 for my haptic project
(dont ask what it is because i dont know) i decided to shoot a cemetery at night just using a shutter release cable my cameras bulb setting and a flash light and nothing else. then i took photo 2 again as an audit calss so i dedicated the whole class working in a cemetery still using the same methods as before but with a twist i added a model into the mix and that resulted in some of the best work i hav e ever done in my photo careeer. the model was a friend of mine named Marie and she was climbing on the tomb stones in a dress and high heels. and finally at fort kaskaskia where the cemetery wasand where i shot the entire roll of film there. plus as a field trip in my class we will be going to the belfontaine cemetery which i am totally pumped for that trip.


happy shooting in cemeteries Jon

a new artist that i got a poem title from

if you are wondering where i got the poem title light my way from? i got it from the band called audioslave there just thought you should know Jon

what i have been doing in photo

what i have been doing in photo is field trips to shaw nature reserve and to fort dechatres and fort kaskaskia. shaw naure reserve is a beautifull place with lots of prarie grasses and small ponds and wild flower gardens. i shot 2 rolls of film there on a whole it was alot of fun. and fort dechartres was a walled fort dating back to probably to the 1700s thre wasnt alot to shoot there so i mainly shot shadows and fooled around with my wide angle and my zoom and my usual normal lenses then in the same day we went to fort kaskaskia wich is an earthen fort so again there wasnt alot to shoot there but the redeeming thing for this place was a cemetary that dated back to the 1800s so i ended up shooting a whole roll of film there. i was going crazy there shooting sitting down laying on my stomache doing all kinds of crazy angles so that in itself was a whole lot of fun so for that day i shot 3 and a half rolls of film

so readers happy shooting Jon

how im feeling

i dont know whats going on right now but i feel kinda depressed. for the life of me i cant figure out why that is. maybe God is tring top tell me somthing and i cant quite hear him or what he is saying. maybe its because of this whole jon thing. i dont know what the hell is going on i have no energy to do anything right now which is kindabad since im in clalss right now im supposed to be printing right now. somy brothers and sisters in Christ please pray for me and what im going through right now

thanks for your prayers Jon

my friend

i have a friend named Jon. i have been telling him about my church that i go to. the more i tell him about it the more he bashes it. saying that the church and its members are dangerous and the principles that the church stand for are wrong. so basically what im saying is that im praying to God for guidance on how to handle this situation and for ways to convince jon that my church is the same as any other church in the world but it has a different structure than most churches so my brothers and sisters in christ give me advice in this situation

thanks for your help Jon

what kind of christian are you?

every month my church gets together the first or second sunday of every month. today one of our elders named Tery Goodwin talked about whether you are the type of christian that feels like God owes you certain things such as that God shows himslef to you regularly or are you the type that God has done things in your life already and if he doesn't do anything for the rest of your life and be satisfied by that. well in my case God has done some amazing things in my life already. and if he doesn't work in my life any more i wouold still follow and serve him without question. so after you read this post please comment about what type of christian you are.

thanks for reading Jon
