I love photography. I really do. Taking pictures, looking at pictures, editing pictures.. the camera was a somewhat magical invention. But something I've been thinking about in this last week is how much the camera pales in comparison to the human eye.
The other day I went on a hike in Malibu Creek with a couple friends. When we got to our destination, we were looking down into a canyon, with rays of sunshine blinding us only if we looked up, or casting amazing lighting as we looked down. When we tried taking a photo of this awesome (literally) sight, it simply did not capture the epicness of the moment. On the return trip, the sun was just setting, and the moon was up. Seeing it was just.. amazing. But, again, when we tried taking a picture of the moon, it just showed up as a dot on the screen.. with the exception of Grace's camera, which has a 18x optical zoom. =P
There is just no way to replicate what God has made. Of course, there are still amazing photographs and such (whether they're edited or not). But those moments at sunset or sunrise, sitting on top of a mountain or next to a river bed, just cannot be fully capture by a camera. And that is just one thing of the many things that separates us from God. ^^
