I headed out late this afternoon looking for an image. The clouds looked picturesque. Lighting was a little flat due to cloud cover. As I got to the end of my street it started to rain. I turned around and headed home with no picture for today. But then I remembered I had taken an image a couple of days ago that shows what I like to do in stormy weather.
People often ask why I like to sit on the porch during stormy weather. I like to sit in the swing on the porch almost any time but stormy weather is a special time. It seem that as the rain drops start to fall it is as if God builds a protective curtain that separates me from this old carnal world. With the world blocked out our communications can get even closer than normal. During such times of communications I often see God FLASH a smile. Also during such times the still small voice can become like THUNDER. The sad part is that I often fail to understand the voice of God, but I am learning a little more each day.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo
