“JUST TRY”
I started photography and journaling in earnest nearly three years ago. I shoot with a digital camera and therefore shoot plenty of photos—last image count 12,000— the word count of the journal has grown to 871,853 words, millions of keystrokes from a two-finger typist. Why photography and journaling? They are integral to my five-year-plan; its theme is “Just Try.”.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Why Photography, Videography, and Storytelling? Because I can see the profound beauty of God in all creation and it humbles me, and God loves a humble and contrite heart. In silence, I pause to witness the sunrise, sunset, a flower, bees at work, and a bird in flight, I can hear His soft sweet voice. I so want to share the beauty that is before me. I can imagine many lonely souls need this beauty and Love. As I travel incredible stories, and testimonies of living life to the fullest find me —This is why I love visual storytelling. God Chaser

Scripture tells us this is the life we should live; become children again: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” ~ Matthew 18:3.
