Singular Scene

The Bigger than Big Thing?

Is Over and Out.

I believe it can be called a success.

I am feeling the pain of it… when you have spent 3 nights walking a solid concrete floor in cheap boots and holding a fairly heavy camera up to your eye, the eye you keep open while the other is firmly closed, you’d have to expect your body not to forgive you immediately… and so my left eye (the one kept closed) feels wonky, my face aches from squinting for 3 nights and my shoulders and neck are anxious for a massage…

I have 8 cds worth of photos to show for my trouble though, some of which will appear in New Life newspaper but most of which will be relegated to the website or the rchives,.

And tomorrow I have to be at a wedding at 11.

I thought on the way to the Big Thing today that I spend my time wishing my life away, looking forward until the next event is over.

Today I feel like something has to change.

But I have no idea what it is.

The Bigger than Ever Big Thing is 1/3 over.

At this stage I believe we can call it a success. From my point of view listening on coms, there didn’t seem to be too many strange requests or dramas… As far as the pictures are concerned I’ll have a look at them this afternoon. I am shooting with a borrowed digital SLR so I am enjoying the instant feedback of having a look at the results as soon as you’ve taken on picture.

Hopefully, because I deleted the totally crap ones, they are as good and full size as they look in the little window in the back of the camera…

Hey Team,

Just checking in to ask for prayer support for the whole of this week.

We are running a city wide event hosting an high profile American preacher in the largest indoor venue in Sydney.
It’s the first time our church has put something this big together, and we’ve done in in 3 months (which, quite frankly questions our sanity) but we have great hopes (and faith) that the message he brings will impact our city for great good.

I’m thrilled to be a part of it as one of the official photographers!! A fun job… but not without its concerns… I’m using a new digital rig which is exciting and terrifying at the same time, and I really want to do the organizers faith in me justice!!

So please pray, that the event will run smoothly thanks to all the New South Welsh versions of Chops we have helping us out, that the team stays gracious in the midst of stress and that the 1000 volunteers we have remain gracious also.

Also that I can relax into the task, that God will sharpen my eye for the best pictures and that I won’t shake and drop the camera when I have to photograph Guy Sebastian at the kid’s programme on Wednesday night.

Finally, and above all, that the event will bring glory not to us, but to our God and that despite differences there may be in the expressions of faiths of the people attending that the message will transcend the expression.

Many thanks

D
