A Photographers Prayer
January 24, 2012 at 1:56 PM
As I bring my subject into focus and prepare to make each image, never let me forget that I'm creating treasures for someone, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others that I may draw out into the light, the beautiful, radiant belongings of their hearts. Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the wisdom of age, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each precious life. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer's art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable. And, between the lights and the shadows, and the ups and the downs, keep me from getting out of focus and off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment.
