I’ve been given the opportunity to participate in the Dali International Photography Exhibition in Dali, Yunnan Province, China this week. Some of my selected work will be on display with others in an exhibition. I’ve entitled this selection of work as “Faith.Love.Hope.” after an important passage of text from the Bible that captures much of my understanding of the world I see through the photographic medium. Paul is the writer, and he is describing how this present world is but a mere reflection of the future world to come, and how our current knowledge and vision of the Creator God is only partial, but will be perfected at His return. The passage I refer to is 1 Corinthians 13:12-13, and reads:
12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
I look forward to participation, making new photog friends, celebrating photography in Asia, and exploring the beautiful landscape around Dali for a few days.
