The View from Your Ministry
Announcing the first (and perhaps only) Christ and Creativity Photo Exhibition! Get those cameras (and camera phones) ready... whether you consider yourself a photographer or not, we want to hear from you.
Andrew Sullivan, a blogger for the Atlantic Monthly, has a feature called "The View from Your Window," in which people send him photographs of, well, the views from their windows. People have sent shots from all over the world, and they are an interesting mix of mundane and exotic---mundane to the person who beholds that view each day, exotic to the viewer who's seeing that landscape for the first time.
And so, inspired by The View from Your Window, C&C is sponsoring "The View from Your Ministry"... with prizes!
Check below the fold more details and an example shot...
The idea is simple. Send us a photo that provides a window into some aspect of your ministry... a long quiet hospital corridor, an airport terminal crawling with people headed to a mission trip, a desk overloaded with books.
Use your imagination, and don't worry too much about composition. The point is to share our experiences. Send your photo to the Christ & Creativity editor, MaryAnn McKibben Dana, at creativity(dot)ycw(at)gmail(dot)com
And did we mention prizes? Everyone who sends a snapshot will be entered in a drawing to receive a care package of goodies. Now how can you resist that?
The deadline for entries is Friday, August 22.
To inspire you (and help you see that it's really not about composition... really), here is a snapshot taken by our youth director of yours truly, telling the story of Noah's Ark at our Vacation Bible School.
Happy Photographing!
