I'm Pat Scott and I live in Ontario, Canada.  I'm the Administrator/Owner of this site and am so happy to see new people registering all the time.

I've been a Christian since I was a little girl and I wanted to have a place on the net where Christians who were interested in Photography could meet and fellowship together.

Talk to you soon!

Hi, i'm Karma.  I'm not new, but htought I would "break the ice"

I live in North Carolina with a wonderful husband (nards656, also a mod) and a darling 2 yo son (my favorite photography subject).

I have been a Christian for 25 years, and enjoy leading the choir at my church.

I am trained as a Special Education Teacher and a Music Teacher, but currently teach basic skills in the Adult Education Program at a local community college and tutor/test homeschoolers.

Look forward to getting to know you!

Hello!  I'm Janet, and I live in Southwest Kansas with my husband Darrel, and a cat and a dog.

I have been a Christian since the age of 17, and find there are always new things to learn, and new ways to grow in the Lord.  The Bible is new and fresh every time we open it.

I'm the moderator of Precious Bible Promises, where we are building a resource of Scriptures applying to certain subjects.  I invite you to come there and post your favorite verses in the subject area where they fit.

My hobbies include oil painting, photography, scrapbooking, swimming, traveling and scuba diving.

Come in and tell us about YOU!

Hi, I'm Al, and I live in McKinleyville, Calif. on the north coast.  After a long siege, God overpowered my soul in 1958, and now I belong to Him.  My wife, Marbeth, and myself are members of Sunnybrae Church in Arcata, CA.  Yes, I'm responsible for the studies in the Psalms and in Mark on this site, so problems can be blamed on me!  But problems or no problems, please come on in to those forums and learn of the Lord and fellowship with others doing the same.

I'm Gregg and I live in San Dimas, California (about a half an hour south east of Los Angeles) where I am studying commerical & fine art photography. I have been a christian since I was a small child (at like 4 if I remember correctly) but backslid and am trying to get my life back in order with God.

I have been attending Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, California with a service called The Bridge which is geared towards people in the arts & entertainment industry and I really love it. It has been great to find fellowship with like minded people.

Look forward to getting to know you all!!

Hi, I am Etta Sue.  I am a retired widow living near the small town of Lapel, Indiana.  I love photography with my favorite subjects being my two cats, Ali and Inky.  Also I capture lots of sunsets and sunrises since I moved to the country a couple of years ago.  

I am an infant Christian and was baptized at Park Chapel Christian Church in Greenfield, IN, in 1998.  I love reading the Word and growing spiritually.  It still amazes me that God's Word still fits our lifestyles of today.

On Christian Photographers, I am moderator over the recipes.  I invite you to take a look at them.  There are really some good cooks on this site.  I look forward to seeing you share some of your recipes with us.

It really makes my heart smile to see newbies posting.  We are family here.  We pray together, laugh together and cry together.  And occasionally have some great photos to ooh and aah over.

Hi.  I'm Nita.  I live in Oregon, on the Oregon coast, and am blessed to live here.  I never get tired of the ocean, and even the rain.

 The Lord rescued me when I was 41 years old.  I'm 62 now.  I had come to a place in my life where it seemed the most reasonable thing for me to do would be to kill myself.  I drank a lot, so did my husband, was depressed constantly, and had such an ache in my heart that I couldn't bear it any longer.  I didn't know God......but "knew" He expected us to be "good" and I wasn't.  I was even afraid to pray, because if I did, He'd notice me...and I didn't want Him to see me.  Ever been there?

 One night in silent desperation, I gave up.  I said quietly, "God, I don't know if you even want me.  But if you do.....please take my life (meaning I'm in your hands now), or I will take it myself."  I was serious, and so was the Lord.    I won't go into my testimony, but I was taken into our Beloved Lord's Kingdom that very night and have never known such love.  I have failed Him since, but He's never failed me.

  I found Christian Photography through a friend, and though I don't post often, I'm here.  I would really like to get to know you and what brought you to the Lord, and where you are in your love for photography.

I love to sing for Him, and to Him. Also I  want my photography to express so much, and that's why I'm here; to  learn.  I'm not doing near enough photography, and sort of got discouraged because I wasn't creating what my heart saw......but I sure want to see YOUR photography!

 Please let us get to know you.    

Hi., I'm Judy., and I live in Ontario, Canada,  I am married to Norm, (who is a new Christian)., for the past 45 years., mother of two, grandmother of 5.  I accepted the Lord as a teenager, but certainly didn't always live for Him.

I don't take many photographs, simply because I don't own a decent camera...LOL., I'm hoping that will change soon!

I love visiting with you here on C.P., and love admiring all your photographs.

Please come and join us here, may we be a blessing to you, and you to us.

My turn?  

I'm Jeanne and I live in northern New York State, in the foothills of the beautiful Adirondack Mountains with my wonderful husband of 14 years, whom I met after the death of my first husband.   I'm 72 and he's nearly 76 (in March) and we are cherishing the time we have left to love our Lord and each other.  Our marriage has been just about perfect and we affirm daily that it's due to the fact that Jesus is always the center of our home.

I joined Christian Photographers soon after its "birth" on the invitation of a dear "cyber" friend and have enjoyed seeing its steady growth ever since.

Hi I'm Ruthie from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  I became a Christian when I was a child.   Jesus is very real to me and I love Him with all my heart.  I have 4 children and 14 grandchildren.   I go to the The Peoples Church, Toronto that was founded by Oswald J. Smith 75 years ago and I have been involved in Evangelism Explosion for 18 years where I teach Level 2 at present.   I am also available to counsel on Sundays.    I got involved with Christian Photographers a few months ago and enjoy the fellowship of other believers and the stimulating & challenging devotionals every day.   I take good pictures but do not have a scanner, so Pat usually puts my pictures on CP for me.  I have found that Christian Photographers is a real blessing from the Lord.

God Bless

GREETINGS FROM HOLLAND  RIA

Hey!  I'm Bernard, though I usually answer to "Nard", which when combined with my last initial and the numbers of my street address, yields "nards656".  

I'm somewhere around 35 or 36 years old, married to Karma (karmat), and the Daddy of Travis, the coolest kid alive.  

I love to play guitar and piano, and every now and then I do some photography.  Photography has been a thing I've done for many years, and I really enjoy it, but my creative passion is music.  

I've been a Christian for almost 25 years now, and it has been a cool, wild, amazing journey.  I attended Pensacola Christian College, where I experienced some of the most rebellious years of my life.  I have found my basic calling in life to be music directed at youth/college age people.  However, I also find fun and happiness in playing for calmer people as well.

Nuff about me!  How about you?

Hi everyone.  I am Larry and live East of Atlanta, Georgia in a little town.  I will soon be 63 years old and have been retired for 8 years.  I had to retire early due to many heart problems but am doing well now.
I have a wonderful wife, Pat, and two grown children.

I accepted Jesus Christ at a fairly young age in our very small country church.  For many years my wife and I have belong to the Presbyterian church.  I am active in my church choir and I play the piano.  I do some volunteer work involving teaching seniors to use the computer and playing for and leading singing at the adult day care center at our church.

I am really not much of a photographer but have a Sony Mavica.  However, I find I do not have to be deeply into photography to get a great deal from the devotional material and fine friendships and support we have on this website.  

We live & FREEZE in Wayne, Michigan...the thaw is starting though.  We have lived here most all of our lives & like it...else we woulda moved.

I am 63 years old, my wife Donna to who (or is it whom) I been married to for nearly 44 years (7/01).  We have four grown children and 13 grandchildren, which will be increased by 3 when our youngest marries this June.

I met my B.W. (beautiful wife) in high school and we married early and started a family early.

For the first 12 years of our marriage, I was not a Christian.  But thanks to the Billy Graham Crusade in Sept 1972, I was re-introduced to HIM.  I know, I know...He never really left me.

I enjoyed 35 years working as a Metal Model Maker @ FoMoCo Eng & Research Center.  I was able to retire at an early age (56) because God really has blessed our family and  made it possible for me to retire so early.

We have experienced problems in our lives... my BW almost died....twice back in 1976, but she is still here.  Because of her near-death experience we have both grown very close to the Lord.

While I do not going knocking door to door to witness...I try not to let any opportunity pass me by.....I got into a little "hot water" on Senior Nets  Boots Tidbits a while back doing just that.

Because of that, Pat took it upon herself to invite me to this site.  Though I do not contribute much, I have been made to feel welcome and I enjoy checkin in on you most every day.

We can all share of His Blessings on our lives and what He has done for us.  I try to share that with others...especially unsaved members of my family.

Nuff said!

Hello.  I am Jenny. I live in England. I will be 60 this year.

I am a Christian and was baptised as a Born Again Believer on 18th June 1988., although I was confirmed into the Anglican Church many years ago., All part of my journey. I am still "in the race".

I have two grown children,Christopher 31 and Helen 34 and four lovely grandsons.

I also have a dear little Yorkshire terrier, Sunday dog and two lovely long haired black cats, Becky and Pushkin.

Pat invited me over to share on this site some months ago, although I am not a photographer.  I do sometimes send a few pictures of this vicinity and some pics of my family to Pat and she, bless her posts them up for me.

This is a lovely site and since I came to it, I no longer browse the web.  I find such a loving fellowship here that it is not necessary. I enjoy the Devotionals and it is good to be able to pray with folks and to share our ups and downs together.

I am not really new but haven't checked in here - I guess it is time.  My name is Kay, married for 50 years in April to my beloved husband Norm.  We pastored Baptist churches for many years but were also in the business world due to hubby's health problems.  I have my degree in music and taught for many years until my hearing got too bad - how I miss it!  We live on Vancouver Island off the coast of B.C.  Have four children and nine grandchildren.  I accepted the Lord as Savior when I was 15 and have served Him ever since.  In our retirement years we have gone on many short term missions projects all over the world.  This is the  most exciting thing we have ever done, we work with the local Christians as helpers and are so blessed that the Lord has allowed us to do this work.
My first camera was a Brownie box camera which I bought when I was 12 - I don't consider myself a photographer but do love to take pictures.
I am impressed by the loving spirit that I see on this site and I hope to be able to check in more often.

Well as far as I know I am the only Scot and I live in the Western Isles. I am married to Ann and have three teenagers, two boys and a girl.

I have been a Christian for over 20 years now and I am fast approaching the grand old age of 47!

I am a self employed. I turned my hobby of photography in a business and I built this website last year -  www.islandsofinspiration.com

I spend much of my time updating my personal Christian website www.applesofgold.co.uk

I spend much of my time rewriting old Christian books that are long out of print, then I add them to my website.

If I write a devotional message on Apples of Gold then I copy and paste it for the Christian Photographers site.    

Well I have told you a little about myself, now I ask you to 'Come see a man that told me all things that ever I did. Is not this the Christ?'

This website is for sinners not for saints! Little wonder then that I qualify!!

LOL

Your brother in Christ

Iain

God's blessings to all:

This site has been such a blessing to myself and like Jenny, I do not search the net for other places.  

I have been a Christian since 1969 and am 64 years old.  I was married at a young age in 1957 and had a child each year...1958, 1959 and 1960....all boys!  The oldest boy just got married last summer at the age of 45.  They have no children.  My next son is married and has 3 children.  They live about 10 miles away.  My 3rd son passed away at the age of 33 leaving behind 2 boys.  He was addicted to alcohol and drugs..but he had confessed Jesus as his Savior before his sudden death.  In 1963 another child was added to our family and it was a girl!  She has married and has 2 children who live next door to me.  I live in a rural Southern community of Dovesville and attend a small country Baptist church.  

My husband passed away in 1996.  I honestly do not know if he confessed Jesus as his Lord.  I do know that he said so when he had a nervous breakdown, but after that he did not live a life that would be pleasing to God.  

I do not do the photography I should and when I do..our Pat always posts for me.

We share our prayer requests here every day and it is an inspiration just to be here.

In His love,  kathy

Hi all!

Well I am not exactly new, but I am not here very often.  So for those who do know who I am, shhhh....I would like to tell my story.

I have always liked taking pictures....although I am not what I would consider a photgrapher.  

The reason why I came to CP is because my aunt is the owner of the site.  Over the last while, Aunt Pat and I have become fairly close.  It has been really nice to get to know her, as an adult.  It has been wonderful to develop the friendship that has been developing between us.

I am also the daughter of JudyB and bonesy, and the sister of Bonnie, and Doug.  My sister in law is Megan, and you have now had the opportunity to see pictures of my dear nephews, Brytan and Eli.  

I became a Christian when I was 8, was baptisted when I was 10, and then fell away from the Lord when I was a teen.  I led a pretty crazy life, but finally settled down when I was 24, when I started dating my dear husband.  Jon and I got things a little backward when we first got together, in that we had a son 13 months before we got married.  When we married, I was priviledged to be able to say that I was marrying my best friend, and he still is.  We have had some difficulites in our marriage, but when we got married, we made the focus in our marriage Jesus, and what Jesus would do, and that has brought us through many of these difficulties, together.

Jon and I will have been married 6 years in Auguest, and now have 2 children together.  Johnny will be 7 in July and Kimi just turned 4.  They are my pride and joy, and there isn't a thing I wouldn't do for them.  I am the ultimate protective mother, and most people have got the message that they had better not hurt my babies, or the will have to deal with a mama bear...lol.

This is just a little tidbit on who Heather Brunet is.  Feel free to send me a private message any time, if you have any questions, comments or encouragement.

God bless you all, and remember that without HIM, we have no hope.

Love
Heather

I've really been enjoying reading all of these introductions.

Me too, Pat. Now I'm getting to know all Judy B's family!

Hello My name is Scott Fraser and I am full-time  photojournalist.

I have been a photojournalist for five years as a freelancer.  Last year I joined a missions group as a staff photographer.  Most of my work is outside the USA.

I also freelance for several other regional and national clients.

My passion is photographing the work of God.  The stories are incredible.

I am looking forward to meeting othe photographers and sharing with others.

It's so nice to meet you, Scott.  I look forward to seeing you posting all over the forums.  We have some really good discussions in the Biblical Issues area and we meet each day in our "New Every Morning" topic for the current day's date.

Talk to you soon.

Come in there and tell us all about your work.  We'll be so very interested to hear about it.

Hi Fraser!  Welcome to CP.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Scott.  

I am looking forward to getting to know you and see your work.  

Come on in to the NEM and join us in a bit of a chat.  

If you need help with posting photos then give me a holler.    I would be glad to help out.

Soni

Hello scott!

We all would love to see what is going on around your part of the world. NEM(new every morning) would be the place to chat day in and day out.

Zachery

Hi Scott - and welcome to Christian Photographers.  Please come into New Every Morning., and tell us about your photography.  We'd all love to see it., and learn a little more about your work.

.......Judy

I joined Photo World, clicked a link and guess what... became a member of this group.  I have only recently become engrossed in photography with the purchase of a Digital camera and been snapping away at everything.  I have lived in the UK now for 9 years and have always complained privately about how drab the place always seems to be, so we get out of the UK every time I get leave.  My mind has been changed as I now see England totally differently, this time through the lens of a camera.  Now it is a shame I have to go to Spain on my holidays.

Oh yes, I love Jesus, read the Bible and all the "right" books, tell others about how he changes peoples lives, I am mostly nice to people and I baptise, marry and bury them.  I have a wonderful job preaching the Gospel and pastoring a Church.  I am married to Carol and have three sons and a daughter.
