Consider the quote: "God is in the details."
What is your interpretation of this quote?
How can we see God in the details every day?
How might we use our cameras in order to discover and preserve these details?
I think this quote is trying to say that God is everywhere. He is in
everything, even if it's small. It doesnt have to be a picture of something extremly striking, like the rays of sun, or an ocean, it can be something as simple as a close up of a flower, or a single piece of grass. To me, this quote sums up everything that God is about. He is everywhere, in everything, no matter how small. We can see God in details really well when we stop and take time to actually look at what we're looking at. So many times we just glance at things thinking "I've seen this before", without really taking time to appreciate it. If we could stop and look at the flower for a bit longer, or take more time to appreciate the little things that make up our every day life, we could see God's presence there. As artists, we can use our cameras to capture the beauty in these simple things. We can get up close, really close, to the objects we want to take pictures of, to see all the detail that makes up that object. For example, from far away, a rose is just a rose, nothing out of the ordinary, something we've seen before. However, zoom in closer, and it becomes a beautiful mystery. How does it have the number of petals it has? How does it get that color? The details of every day things are sometimes the most beautiful, and focusing on those in our pictures can help peserve that.
