I've always loved Photography since I was a Kid. I built my own darkroom when I was 12 and worked very hard at what I did.  I was into electronics as well and loved working on electronic projects.
In the Years that followed I saw the advent of digital Photography and as the technology grew I natualy integrated into digital darkroom software.
Things weren't perfect in the early Days but as Time goes on the technology becomes more refined.
It has amazed me how far digital Darkroom technology has come in the last few Years and now the technology is to the point that professionals have a hard time distinguishing the difference between digital and old School Darkroom work.
I've done so much and can't wait to share my tallents with People looking for high quality professional Photo work, as well as work I've done.

In Dec 2006 my life changed when I was injured at work, ending a 23 Year career in Trucking.
Since then I've had surgery as well as all kinds of Physical Therapy, invasive tests and injections.
When I'm able, I love to get out and take Photos of everything.
I really try to see things in a different perspective, to give the viewer the experiance of seeing life in a whole new way.

I also love to do Studio work when possible because I want to share my tallent with People, giving them an affordable alternitive to the expensive main stream Studio experiance.

What I want for christams

ll was out when i was a child

I would love to have one .. I wanted one when i was a little girl i didnt get one

I still want one.

 

Today I handled a clintet of ours the bride of the wedding shoot we

did oct 17 we got everything finished she wanst happy she wants all the pictures we took

i made the mistake to tell her i took 800 pictures so i had to explane why she didnt get all the pictures we took, i told her we put the best of the best pictures on the c d and well some of the pictures i took were blurry and some had thngs we couldnt fix , so we put the best pictures

on disk, so she bought 15 dvds with the pictures she wasnt happy they told us

everyone in thier family had computers , well these pictures 260 we put on disk

well she picked that apart i told her the best pictures we put on disk wasnt

fixed as far as retouching the pictures that would cost extra 35 dollars a hour

thats our time , well then she wanted all the pictures

so i broke it down to her just getting all theextra pictures untouched unfixed

just only on the disk i told we can do that fine ,so all the good pictures

i would say are about 700 pictures then you put 260 on each disk

each disk with all the pictures you want 5 dollars per disk

then if you want all the pictures that are on the extra disk are 35 per hour

to touch up the hole 700 of pictures so what ever time we

have to put into all the pictures we charge stright time. so if she only wants the 700

pictures untouched only on the disk it would be 5 per disk

well it gets better she picked all the pictures she wanted for the album

it looked great then she wanted 10 extra pages so we told her 1 dollar a

page , she was fine with that ,but all 15 dvd;s we did for 260

pictures that we told her we wont put a copy right on so she can take the pictures

any place and copy the pictures and blow up or we can so the 15 dvd's

they bought the people put the dvd's in the cd player and tryed to look at

the pictures and well the disk we told both of them will ony play on a computer

not a cd player to watch movies on,so her mom and dad bought

thier first cd player and tryed to look at the pictures on it well

we told them the disk was only for a computer or for copying the pictures

so now on us we made 5 cd's slide show so they could see the pictures

and i told her these 5 cd's pictures cant be copyed off these5 cd's

so i told her tell everyone to keep the dvd with the pictures so they can

look at the pictures on computer and copy them

 so now if she wants more pictures the 700 it will cost her

lord i had a head ack  by the time she lefted i hope i was clear

to her about our prices what do you think?

do you think she was trying to con me out of free disks

we even gave her a free wedding video of the pictures

i hate the word free . any way look on my blogs the one that

says my first wedding shoot thats the pics we took.

of the cost of the wedding was only $575.00

she got 2 people taking pictures and we covered the rehearcel ,

then she got free wedding video we spent 2hours at the reheracel

then 2 hours for the wedding , i think we have more than give herher moneys worth , oh then by the time they got done we only made $400.00 on the wedding

i think we did more than what they wanted oh they also wanted everyone

for family shoot they turned into a photo shoot for family pics with the bride and groom

iam not going to let the december bride do that to us . if they want extra

they will pay for it what do you think? would you have payed $575.00

for 2 photogers? covering the rehearsel dinner?

any sujections? any tips ? iam open for sujestions you think i did

right to keep telling her it will cost it will cost?

do you think with what she got you think we gave her more than her

moneys worth? talk to me coment

I think some people are just hard to deal with like the bride

 

 

Tearing Down the Church… Together Science & Religion — Ten Degrees of Separation March 31, 2009 Posted by doroteos2 in Critical Thinking, Religion in the U.S., Science and Theology.

War is a horrible thing, especially an unnecessary and meaningless war.  One such terrible and tragic conflict exists between science and religion.  The popular media loves the whole idea — physics vs. metaphysics, secular vs. spiritual, rational vs. emotional, fact vs. fiction — and always portrays the issue in stark “either/or” terms.  Forget that “science” is a meaningless term — physics, biology, geology, immunology, botany, chemistry, astronomy, etc. are all “science,” but come to some very different conclusions about things “meta-physical.”  Likewise religion.  There are different religions, with different worldviews and creation myths, that embrace a broad and diverse theological spectrum.  The only way to perpetuate the “war” between science and faith is to create false dichotomies and to misrepresent reality by defining simple “sides” to the complex issues.

I served as the chair of The United Methodist Church’s Task Force on the Relationship of Science and Theology from 2001-2004, and continued to serve as a resource person in the area through 2008.  In working with a wide variety of people concerned with the issues involved, I came realize that there is no simple way to define the debate.  It definitely is NOT a tug-of-war between two sides.  A different model is needed that looks at a wider variety of positions (oh, say… ten).

The results are in on my study on destructive forces in the church.  Beginning in 2005 and continuing to the present, I have been analyzing the negative, destructive, damaging, unhelpful, hostile, and hurtful practices at work in our communities of “open hearts, open minds, and open doors.”  A whopping 86% of United Methodist churches surveyed (998 out of 1,161) say they are engaged in some “regular or ongoing” form of conflict.  62% report that it is “serious” conflict.  Yikes!  So, the old familiar refrain, “And they’ll know we are Christians by our love,” may be a little on the wishful side.  Let’s take an in depth look at what I’ve found…

The Important-Good Distinction March 28, 2009 Posted by doroteos2 in Church Leadership, Critical Thinking.

I have long made the differentiation between “good” and “important” books.   In my experience, all good books are important, but there are many important books that are anything but good.  The Shack is an important book, (but in few ways good) as are The Prayer of Jabez, The Secret, The Purpose Driven Life, and The Seat of the Soul.  Each of these books became popular best sellers, exerting an enormous amount of influence, but are deeply flawed by horrendous theology and an egregious lack of intellectual integrity.

These are important books because people are reading them — they connect with some basic human hunger and offer an appealing source of sustenance.  But what they offer is of inferior quality at best.  They offer simple answers to complex questions — a smorgasboard of materialistic, simplistic, shallow, cheap, superficial and innocuous solutions to the most challenging of life’s problems.  No wonder they are popular.

This week’s Best Book is Philip Jenkins’, The New Faces of Christianity: Believing the Bible in the Global South.  Jenkins presents a thoroughly-researched, well thought-out, and highly provocative prediction of the future of global Christianity in the 21st century.  This is a book every pastor and laity leader will find insightful and helpful.

Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so,
But Jesus does not love you,
Because of all the crap you do.
(scribbled on a church bathroom wall)

There is a perverse logic at work in the Christian church.  Recent polls of regular church goers indicate that over two-thirds would prefer that “sinners” not attend church.  There is a troubling implication in this.  Do the people who don’t want sinners in their church consider themselves not to be sinners?  Now, of course it depends on the sin.  Gossip, lying, cheating, gambling, drinking, divorce, sexism, borrowing or lending money at interest, breaking the speed limit, domestic abuse, and/or racism – these don’t count.  Basically, only convicted criminals, homosexuals, drug addicts, homeless people, and anyone else we can comfortably label as fundamentally different than we are  is who we really mean by “sinner.”  And even then, there are conditions.  If poor people will bathe and behave properly, they can come in.  If homosexuals will ‘choose’ not to be homosexual anymore, then they can come in.  With criminals, it depends on the crime — some criminals are less criminal than others.  Various research studies indicate that people convicted of fraud, embezzlement, drunk-and-disorderly, domestic abuse, rape, tax evasion, and stealing have little trouble finding a church that will accept them, while those convicted of drug possession, armed robbery, murder, child molestation, and kidnapping are unwanted by just about everyone.  Forgiveness, it appears, has limits and layers — some “sins” are more forgivable than others.  And in most cases, there is no real offer of redemption – once a person has been labeled a sinner, the best they can hope for is to be a ‘forgiven sinner,’ but still a sinner nonetheless.

A Minority Opinion — Shack Attack March 25, 2009 Posted by doroteos2 in Book Recommendations and Reviews, Religion in the U.S., Spiritual Trends.

Within the past week I have received four different emails regarding William Young’s, The Shack.  The attention this book receives is interesting to me, and I posted a review in May 2008 that voices a minority opinion — while I observe a widespread, gushing adoration for the book, I found it to be a poor book at best.  In response to those asking for the review to be made available again, I am posting it here.

Periodically, I will share some reflections from my reading journal — which I keep in hope that by writing about what I read, I will somehow retain and remember things that would otherwise disappear in a short period of time.  Often, books are released that become very popular, very quickly, and I am often asked my opinion (for what it’s worth…)  Here are my notes on William P. Young’s, The Shack.

When I was eight years old I liked nothing better than the sugary treat of a Hostess Twinkie.  Soft, sweet yellow cake with an even sweeter creamy filling – no thought of nutritional value or long term health consequences, just simple enjoyment of something that tasted so good.  Left to my own devices, I would have made a steady diet of Twinkies – which in no way would have been good for me.

The Shack is a spiritual Twinkie – sugary sweet with little or no nutritional value.  The fantasy tale is very unevenly told, but framed as a might-have-happened second-person narrative (Mack is the narrator/protagonist; Willie is the narrator/author), the spiritually naïve and immature might find this to be a deeply satisfying treat.  Without a sound theological basis or the application of even the most basic critical thinking skills, a reader might mistake this as more than just a fairy tale.

A few people responded to my “Oh We, Of Little Faith” post — addressing the the doom-and-gloom predictions of the end of the UMC in the next forty years or so — by asking what kind of future I do envision for the good old UMC?  Looking at trends and forecasting the future is tricky, and generally a waste of time, but it’s still fun.  Here goes.  Keep in mind, this is my opinion based on what I see.  I hope you will add comments, sharing your own vision/prediction.

You might think that people who do something repeatedly over a period of years would come to know its practice and meaning intimately.  In the case of the celebration of Holy Communion, you would be wrong.  Each month (the preferred schedule for the institution of the Lord’s Supper in United Methodism) millions of worshipers in our congregations participate in one of the two seminal sacraments of our faith.  But what exactly does this “holy mystery” mean to those who partake?  For most, apparently, it remains a mystery.

From December 2005 through July 2006, 1,200 United Methodists (200 clergy, 1,000 laity) were surveyed to better understand the perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and understanding held by those who celebrate communion.  961 surveys were completed (163 clergy, 798 laity) and a series of phone interviews followed with 95 pastors and 247 lay people from the survey sample.  What follows is a brief summary of our findings and a series of questions yet to be explored.

Stupid Christian Education March 22, 2009 Posted by doroteos2 in Christian Education, Congregational Life.

I keep getting requests for copies of this article and permission to reprint it so I thought I would just re-post it here.  I originally posted it last November.

What do you know about God?  What have you learned about Jesus Christ in the past few weeks?  How readily can you apply what you learn to your daily life?  Recent research into the learning patterns of United Methodist adults indicate that these questions are irrelevant.  Four-out-of-five UM adults (80.4%) report “little” or “no” interest in Sunday school, Bible study, or small group formation experiences.  Two-out-of-five (39.1%) claim that believing that Jesus Christ is God’s true son is enough — since they have a guaranteed spot in heaven, there is nothing else of value to learn.  An additional 48% believe that attending weekly worship is adequate, and that there is no need for any other formational experience in their lives.

“Boring” is the number one word or phrase associated with Sunday school (among all adults), and “fellowship with friends” is the number one reason adults attend Sunday school classes.  Those adults who attend Bible studies find them “interesting” and “informative,” but only 1-in-6 (17%) report finding practical information that applies to their daily lives. We asked participants in the study to “grade” the United Methodist curriculum they use in Sunday school classes. The most frequent grade is “C-”. (Disciple Bible Study I & II, B+; other Disciple Studies, B.) Satisfaction with a class or study has more to do with liking the instructor or liking each other than it does liking the materials.

This is a book my doctor told me about today

I am looking forward to reading this book . i call it karla's reading book list

I guess the majority of women wonder what it is like for the women behind the veils. You know what it is like, walking down the street and then suddenly you see half a dozen females walking towards you and sometimes looking pretty scary as they are dressed from top to toe in dark, heavy clothing with veils covering their faces.

Often I have thought that they must be pretty stupid to let men and religion dictate to them in such a fashion. After all, it must be pretty unbearable to wear this clothing especially on hot summer days and I have always thought that their pretty faces are locked away behind the veils.

Throughout my years I have heard bits and pieces about these veiled women but didn’t really give them much more thought until I read a review by Teacherofhooch (Linda) on the book called Princess by Jean Sasson. I was so intrigued by Linda’s review that I immediately ordered the book through Amazon.co.uk. It duly arrived and I started to read it that same evening.

I was intrigued yet horrified by the reading of this book. I simply could not put it down. I had to keep reading and reading.

First of all, Jean P Sasson is an American who has lived quite a few years in Saudi Arabia and therefore knew the people and the culture very well. She became very friendly with one of the Saudi princesses who asked her to write a book about her life. At first Jean said she couldn’t; she loved living in Saudi and she didn’t want anything to happen to the princess who would be in great danger should her true identity become known. But she read the diaries and felt that she had to tell the story of the life of a Royal Saudi Arabian princess. The diaries told of the heartache, happiness and fear of life behind the veil. The author does state that the words of the book are her own but the story is that of the life of the princess.

of this very brave princess, Sasson has named her Sultana which is the Arabic name for a princess – Sultana being the wife or consort of the Sultan.

Sultana is a Saudi princess belonging to the House of Al Sa’ud, rulers of Saudi Arabia and is one of a family of 10 daughters and one son, although her mother did have more children who died. Throughout the book you will find that women are mainly thought of as breeding machines and that sons should be produced. A man can have up to 4 wives and each of these wives (together with their families) are kept in separate palaces and the man visits each wife in turn. The daughters of such unions, whether they are royal or not, are quite inconsequential and are treat as inferior human beings. The son is god in this land.

Although Sultana lives in luxurious palaces and has never had to worry about where her food came from, she was still downtrodden and she came to resent and hate her brother Ali who could do no wrong in the eyes of their father. Sultana yearned for her father to notice her but he usually ignored her. She became a silent rebel. She hated the way girls and women were treat in her land and wanted freedom for all women but she knew she could not do this task alone but, in her way, she has tried and tried throughout her life for reformation for women.

In Saudi Arabia, man is king and owns all his female relatives; his word is law and no female dare contradict him. When a girl reaches ‘menses’ – periods to you and me – then her father has to be told straightaway and she has to become veiled and he usually arranges a marriage for her. Sultana tells of such young girls being forced to marry old men and literally be their sex slaves. She tells of her sister Sara’s nightmare marriage to such a man and how Sara tries to commit suicide which brings shame onto the family. Sara is lucky because her husband divorces her and her father takes her back into the family. Should her father have disowned her then she would have nowhere to go and no means of supporting herself.

Sultana relates how lucky she was not to have been circumcised and recounts the stories told to her by her older sisters. I cried when I read this part, this practice is just so inhumane and vile and not necessary.

Sultana’s father arranges a marriage for his rebel daughter and she knew there wasn’t anything she could do about this. It was heartbreaking reading of Sultana’s loss of a breast through cancer especially as she thought she had the love of her husband to guide her through her darkest days. Sultana was shocked and hurt by her husband’s statement to have a second wife and did something that could have quite easily cost her her life but I have really got to admire her for her actions. I will not go into detail because I don’t want to spoil the “read” for anyone.

This book really does show the grit and determination of one sole female from an early age to her present day. She has continually fought a kind of silent fight for her gender who have been so downtrodden. She wanted the world to know of the harsh ruling of men against women, about the totally unjust and sometimes fatal treatment given to women for a very slight misdemeanour. She wants to world to know that slowly Arabian women are starting to be educated although there are a limited number of professions that they are allowed to practice. She wants the world to know that this can happen to a Royal princess as well as a lowly Bedouin woman.

Although her family are very rich and have all the trappings that this wealth brings; expensive jewellery, first class travel, multitudes of servants, the reader can see the invisible chains that surround the Saudi women.

The book is very easy to read and as I read it I could imagine myself in the palace and seeing the various things Sultana describes. It was a kind of “reality” book – I felt transported to Saudi Arabia! Thank goodness it was just a feeling!

As I read this book I had various emotions.

Anger – how could these women let themselves be treated in this way? I wouldn’t. But, as I read more and more, I started to understand how hard it is for people like Sultana to get the men to think of women as something other than a chattel and without intelligence. By keeping education from women, the men have the upper hand but I am sure that in these modern times, the grasp WILL eventually slip from the these men and their women, hopefully, will be free of these invisible chains that surround them.

Sympathy for the thousands of ‘battery’ women producing child after child after child. I was really horrified that women could be thought of as mere child producers and my heart totally went to the young girls married off to the dirty old men who used them sexually in sadistic ways. Children as young as 11 and 12. Yes, they might have periods but they are still children but in the Muslim eyes they are women once they have their ‘menses”.

Admiration was another emotion I felt. Total admiration for Sultana for being so brave to give her diaries to the author so that the world could be told of life behind the veil. I would love to meet Sultana – such a courageous and spirited woman who has remained in constant battle for her fellow females.

Fascination at the way of life “behind the veil” and “behind palace walls”. Intriguing to say the least but quite humorous in parts.

Despair at the fate of some young females at the hands of their fathers and uncles.

Hatred for those fathers and uncles who could pass out such wicked sentences for such small misdemeanours.

The book made me feel thankful that I was born “free”, without those invisible chains surrounding Sultana and her people and made me realise that I shouldn’t pass judgement on other women without knowing their circumstances.

I was shocked by some of the stories related and just hope that Sultana’s account of her life has accomplished what she hoped it would achieve. Somehow, I don’t think it will have. We in the Western world have read her book but will her fellow females in Saudi Arabia have read it? Will the menfolk have read her book? I somehow don’t think so. I would imagine that this book would have been banned in Saudi Arabia and the men would certainly not want to read a book by a Saudi princess. It would be an insult to their intelligence! Such is their arrogance!

This book can be purchased from Amazon on www.amazon.co.uk and I recommend it to everyone. I think I paid £5.99 plus P&P.

There are two follow up books called Daughters of Arabia in which Sultana turns the spotlight on to her two daughters and the third book is called Desert Royal.

I will definitely be buying both of these books because I want to know how Sultana’s fight for freedom progresses.

I should just mention that the book does give lots of information regarding maps of Saudi Arabia, history of the country and a glossary of the terms used eg. abaaya – long black cloak worn over clothing.
 

 

 

 

I rember my first job i was 16 year old still in high school

i worked for a day care and there was a little boy he was about 1 years old

watching him wondering what was wrong and i told her i was sorry for feeling

that her or her husband or the babysitter was abusing the baby

so any way the baby got help and as far as i know hes fine.

i love kids . the lession from this was what i learned some times we see things

with our eyes and they arnt what they look like so some times

when yo usee something that looks wrong look

deeper  to see whats really going on just like

some of the things i went threw with my mother in law

she would hand me my but fussing at what would cook and

telling how she would make things,

and i would hold my tounge and not get into a fussing match

with her and i knew there was more to why she was treating me like crap

she asked us to move in with her after her husband and

donald payed to have his father burried it was the right thing to do

and we did as she asked us moved in even though i felted like it was a mistake

and it really was donald said his mother was jealouse of us

the man that donald was his father wasnt ,donald is kind and loveing

his father was abusive and mean he beat his mother and donald was the opset

of his father and i think she fleted like we were threwing it in her face our happy

marrage and th egood man donald was his father wasnt a good man he was abusive

to all his family , but we did what his mother wanted and payed her rent

and it was just a big mess i would nt ever move in with a in law or

have them move in with us ever again iam still trying to be compassant

to her but she makes it hard to be nice to her . but iam still praying

to god he lets me understand her iam try to so i am still wating

oh well iam justme iam not perfect but iam praying she will come to us

and appolise for all the hurt and pain shes caused us and like i

tell donald if she dont ever want to start healing from what

all shes doen oh well iam going to heal and move on the best i can

i would like to tell her iam sorry for evey thing when we moved in with her

how things didnt work . so i told her iam sorry for how i treated

her the first time she came over to my new house how cold i was

i told her iam womena enought to tell her to her face i was wrong

how i was cold to her but i also told her that i was on the phone

with my sister and she p issed me off and i was wrong. so she said it was

sweet of me . iam not doing it for being sweet i know in my heart its

the right thing to do becalse i was disrespectful to her . so iam hoping those little

seeds of healing will take root in her heart and maybe help her

heal too and if not i did what i had to do what was right .

i didnt do it to one up her and thought it back at her well i was saying i

was sorry first . i only did what i knew was right in my heart and if

nothing becomes of the appoligy its ok iam healing ..
