"YANOYA"

by Shishi Yamazaki

"Nature is not primarily functional. It is primarily beautiful. Stop for a moment and let that sink in. We're so used to evaluating everything (and everyone) by their usefulness that this thought will take a minute or two to begin to dawn on us. Nature is not primarily functional. It is primarily beautiful. Which is to say, beauty is in and of itself a great and glorious good, something we need in large and daily doses (for our God has seen fit to arrange for this). Nature at the height of its glory shouts, Beauty is Essential! revealing that Beauty is the essence of God. The whole world is full of his glory..." 

- John and Stasi Eldridge, Captivating

i've never been into photography. i always felt like its workings are far too technical for my mind.. too many knobs.. my iphone is the extent of my machinery. and the photos rarely do the real thing justice. but these days, i'm remembering how much i love film.
