Shot From the Hip

I praise God that so far planning for Israel has been relatively smooth.  The most difficult decision for me is which cameras should I bring.  Its like asking which child is my favorite?  Photography for me is as much about the experience as it is the image.  Shooting at the the Titus 2 Institute seminar this weekend,  it was not the the most interesting subject matter.  Yet holding my E-1, a relic by today's standards, and listening to the speaker as I stared hours on end at the same scene waiting for the right moment trying to find something to shoot, I could not be happier.  I was reminded that I do not need to be in Israel or a far off land to enjoy how God has made me.  It's not about having a "cool" image or the newest toy (though I do have a few ).  Still haven't quite made the final decision on what to bring, but just in case, I better start working out.
