Thanks for the welcome! 

My name is Leah and I live in Atlanta, GA with my husband Jerry (my childhood sweetheart) and our pets.  I am a registered nurse, although I work in administration, and - of course - I am a shutterbug. I use a Canon Rebel EOS digital SLR and am into macro photography.

I was talking to my mother this afternoon about how much I love photography, how I can spend hours and hours setting up shots, taking pictures, editing the pictures, etc. (Oh to have more time!)  We were discussing my desire to find a way to use my passion for photography to serve God and also to expand His kingdom.  So, I started digging around online and found this site.  Please, if anybody has ideas for how I can share my photography with others and let them know about Christ, I would love the feedback.

In the meantime, I look forward to getting to know you better and will post some of my photos once my other computer (the one with all the photos on it) is repaired.

Hi Leah...

It's so nice to see your post!

With regard to using your photography, one of our members, "Chris and Margit Saunders" who is Chris Saunders from England, has a wonderful ministry of using his photography with scripture verses on cards and he passes them out.  His work is marvelous.  You'll find lots of his photos in the "Photos with Scripture" area of the forums.

Here's one of his photos:
