Thankful for...

Dec.2008 I'm thankful for my family and friends and mostly I'm thankful for the good health God has given me because through that I am able to work and through work I am able to help my family and friends. Through work I am also able to pay for Internet and through Internet I am able to learn about photography and visit so many websites including this one. Through work I was able to buy my cameras and enjoy a hobby that just a few years ago was all but impossible. Yes, I'm grateful for having a job in these tough times.

I am thankful for

I am thankful for my children and grandchildren who are all alive and healthy and were all able to be here with us for the holiday and who let grandma take pictures of them over and over until I was happy. For a God who cares about the little things as much as the big and gives me strength to bear both.

I'm Thankful For

My husband, who puts up with my endless hours on the computer editing images, participating in the assignments, and him stopping the vehicle for me to get out and get a shot of something I feel is image worthy. I'm thankful for this site, our mighty leader Liz and all the friends I have made on here. And like Liz, thankful for my eye sight and the understanding from others who are on the other side of the camera. I to have seen the beauty of places I will never get to see in person and have been transported there through photographs. I'm thankful that I found something I truly love, and love sharing it.

Thankful for sharing a view.

This year I'm thankful for having the privilege to view photography. I got started in my own photography because I cherish being able to view someone else's photography. I feel like for a moment in time I can see what they saw and share that moment with them. As if I'm able to take a trip to where they were and experience what they experienced. I would have no idea what so many places around the world look like, if not for photography. I'm also thankful for my friends and family who give me input and support. -Jennifer
