67: Street Photography -- Music on Main
I have been looking forward to this evening for nearly a month. The monthly "Music on Main" get together on Main Street in downtown. This is another great opportunity for Street Photography. I grabbed my camera and wide angle lens and off I went. On the way down there I got to thanking, if I had this and that photographic equipment how much better this outing would be. I took nearly 100 images of which 10 or so are not that bad, but one stands out to me.

Ok. It took me a minute to get the meaning of this one. At first, I must admit that this was a simple snapshot and couldn't get it. Why did Elmo post this??? I wouldn't have gotten it without your caption. I suppose I am being reminded that I am somewhat shallow...
ReplyDeleteCan I say it? ...or will it ruin it for the others? Stop reading if you haven't figured it out yet.
You want more photo equipment and the guy in the chair wants the use of his legs. He doesn't have legs but still enjoys the dancing. You have modest equipment but still enjoy photography and produce things for us that makes us happy, entertains us and makes us think. You are able to reach others with your modest equipment and I am sure that he (the guy in the wheelchair) has many friends and family members that he touches on a daily basis who don't care about his abilities - just as your friends don't care about your equipment. We love you for who you are and I know that my children would love me unconditionally if I were in a wheelchair just as his family loves him.
God gives us what we need to minister to others. We may feel inferior with our "equipment, legs, abilities, etc.," but he [God] gives us what we need to show others what is truly important.
You, Mr. Elmo have been a conduit for God to show me "today" that although I may not have everything I want, but I do have what I need. When I (and others) sit around feeling sorry for myself, (ourselves) I'll remember this photograph. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Wow! What an eye opener. This really spoke to me. I wish I could say more.
