    Camera Question - Hoping the this is the right place to ask :)

    Sure. Any camera can take photos of anything. The question is what sort of cameras do you like to use more/what feels better in your hands/etc. Inevitably, you'll get used to whatever camera you buy, but the camera you mentioned is a perfectly acceptable camera. I personally prefer Canons for...

    Is using photoshop wrong?

    Facial/body retouching? Only if it's also wrong for Christians to wear makeup. As far as I'm concerned as a photographer, when I do facial retouches, I'm just a digital makeup artist. As far as general use of Photoshop, it's a tool of the trade. Any photographer who doesn't use Photoshop is...

    Christian Art Photography, By Stephen McGrath

    Nice. I liked the two new shots. I think the photo of Mary holding Jesus after the Crucifixion is the most interesting of the series thus far, and perhaps the most haunting image of the series as well. Big props on setting the gown down right. Out of curiosity, what gave you the idea for the...

    Christian Art Photography, By Stephen McGrath

    Interesting thoughts. It sounds like a partial parallel to perhaps Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, bringing the act of the Crucifixion to a style that relates how we depict and view events today. There's always that duality of the Passion play, though, lying somewhere between history and...

    Christian Art Photography, By Stephen McGrath

    Very strange and interesting. Who are your main influences on this work? The main impression I'm getting from the series of #2,3,4 is of man-martyr trying to take the place of Jesus. It strikes a tone of futility to me, particularly in image #2, with the crucifix prominently displayed on his...

    Lost - Episode 6:9 (3/23/10) - Ab Aeterno

    When Locke visited Richard in the 50s, he told Richard that he was gonna be born in a couple years, and told him to "come visit him", which he, of course, did. The next time Richard went to see Locke, he wanted to know if he already knew the compass was his, a test which Locke failed, because...

    Lost - Episode 6:9 (3/23/10) - Ab Aeterno

    I think it just showed that Jacob still had influence on the island. You can't kill yourself if Jacob still had a reason to keep you around (think Michael off-island). Richard wouldn't have blown himself up, because his job isn't over. Jack was "meant" to convince him of that, and Hurley's...

    What genre is Hillsong, anyway?

    Personally, I'd probably call it "Soft Rock". But most Christian Contemporary Music and Praise & Worship seems to fall under that category.
