God's Will Be Done.

The pain and suffering from this earthly life has ripped my heart from my chest more times than one. And when I called out to God, he put it all back inside, God's will be done. It doesn't quite fit like it did before, and it still hurts, maybe even a little more. I think, because my heart has grown three times it's size, and I am a much better person than I was before.

Just a note and something to ponder…..With these new cameras….28, 36 megapixels and the new lenses with zoom from say, 28-300, or 70-200, you might as well be taking a picture with a magnifying glass. At some focal lengths you get lots of distortion, you've all seen the horse pictures where the head is twice as big as the body... Did you know that a  picture taken with a camera like that could be enlarged to fit your living room wall without losing any focus.  

And, You've all seen those bathroom mirrors when you turn them over and you see every pore on your face, and blemish, wrinkles…must also be how we look to someone with magnified glasses.  That's a scary thought.  So a little touch up in Photoshop or some photo editing program really makes the picture polished, makes it a portrait or a fine  piece of art, something to save and remember when - a photo I am proud to share with others and the subject themselves - I would rather publish a picture out of focus than one where I've made someone look older than they really are…bright sun is not kind to older skin.  

I notice this also in the phone cameras advertised…'"lots of pixels", that's why they sell apps to fix your iPhone pictures….so, 

a pretty picture makes everyone feel better about themselves. The trick is, how far do you go?  Takes a bit of improv…..and we are all learning as we go along.  We all look better in real life because our eyes adjust to the contrasts when we look at others, and the picture is but a split second of time, maybe a bad expression, too much teeth or gum, and frankly, the camera is unforgiving.

 It's all mathematical.  And God forbid we really look that old.

My goal is to help people feel better about themselves in this new world of digital photography!
