my wife’s family has roots in the mountains of north carolina. deep roots.
on her mom’s side, many in the family still live on the land they settled in the 19th century.
it is near the little town of caney fork, on the creek of the same name.
and it’s beautiful by the way.
so here is an abridged chronicle of our time in appalachia, celebrating july 4th (a little early).
side note: i shot a ton of landscapes and nature photos as well, and will share those in the next post…
lately, i’ve been wanting to do a series of photographs that illustrate the five points of Calvinism. strange, i know. but these concepts intrigue me.
i’ve had many odd images in my head for some time, and they are just now starting to come together and make a little sense. to me at least.
basically, Calvinism is known by an acronym: T.U.L.I.P. i found a lot of great information at the Calvinist Corner blog, check it out if you’re interested in more background.
i’ll leave the interpretation up to the viewer. feel free to comment… more images to follow.
TULIP frame #1, total depravity, dallas, texas, 2012
TULIP frame #2, unconditional election, dallas, texas, 2012
i don’t enter contests very often.
but this year, we decided to make it a goal to enter a few, and hopefully win more awards.
our first for 2012 is pdn’s great outdoors competition.
here are our 7 entries…
along with traditional judging, they have a people’s choice award as well…
if you feel so inclined, please vote for me!!
