Photolympics 2009!
On a whim, I decided to participate in UCI’s third annual Photolympics competition this past month. I wasn’t planning to, but Garnet convinced me to do it, so I did. I had high hopes for some photos, but they didn’t even make the runner up cut! We have some very talented photographers at our school.
I don’t want to be a hater, but I really felt that the best photo award went to one of the weakest photos that made it into the “finals.” I saw a number of VERY STRONG photos that didn’t even get first in the category, but I guess that’s how the judging goes. To be brief, Garnet got the best travel photo award and I walked home with the best photo series. Pretty darn neat if you ask me!
My submissions for the “photo series” category:
And while I’m tooting my horn, here’s my first submission:
On the matters of things to be.
It is the glory of God, we are told, to conceal a thing, and it most certainly is for the happiness of mankind that he should conceal their future. Supposing that bright lines were written for us in the book of destiny, and that we could read those bright lines now, and be sure of them, we should probably loiter away our time until we arrived at them, and should have no heart for the present.
If, on the other hand, we knew that there were dark days of trouble in store for us, and had a presentiment and full conviction as to when they would come, probably the thought of them would overshadow the present, so that the joys which we now drink would be left untasted by reason of our nervous fears as to the distant future.
To know the good might lead us to presumption, to know the evil might tempt us to despair. — Charles Spurgeon
