Gratitude Photography Project 2014
Read MoreTexture is defined as the feel, appearance or consistency of a surface or substance. Have you ever thought about the texture of life? Think back on this week. What did it feel like? How does it look now in reflection? Of what experiences was it made? Life certainly holds a contrast of textures.
This image was captured during a photo shoot in Moab with another photographer and friend. We noticed the contrast of texture of this cactus plant against the sand, dryness and desolate beauty of Canyonlands National Park. The softness of the delicate flower and the sharp thorns share their place on a cactus plant and exemplify the contrast of beauty and pain. What would this plant be without this contrast? What would life be without a contrast of experiences? What would we be without our contrast of human emotions? Without contrast life would not be as rich and beautiful. It is through pain that we appreciate peace, darkness that we appreciate light, and through it all we have love to guide us. I appreciate and am eternally grateful for that.
Proverbs 10: 12~Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.
Peace.
