New Every Morning

"And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blinded and unable to see the sun for a time." Acts 13:11

This morning I woke up at around 3am planning to go out to Zuma beach to do some landscaping of the shore side. Its been a while since I shot landscape so I thought why not. Before I headed out, I sought out inspiration for what I wanted to capture. I hate going out with no particular plan and thinking "maybe I'll get lucky today." During my devotion I read Acts 13 and the quote above is something that certainly caught my eye. In this chapter, Barnabas and Paul were called by the Lord to be sent out to Cyprus. At Cyprus, there was a false prophet that hoped to turn Barnabas and Paul away from their faith. However, Paul was filled with the Holy Spirit and said to the the false prophet the following:

"You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not
stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? and now, behold, the hand of the Lord is
upon you, and you will be blinded unable to see the sun for a time."

After reading this passage, I went out hoping to capture not just the sunrise at the shore side, but the beauty of God's fingerprints over nature. I hoped to capture the beauty that was withheld from this false prophet. I take for granted the blessings and mercies that are upon me. I do not deserve the sight or knowledge that I have. By the grace of God, my vision has not been taken away.

So here are a couple of shots that will always remind me of the grace of God.






"... his mercies never come to an end. They are New Every Morning" Lamentations 3:22-23

Help Appreciated!

So I guess I lied on that Post a Day thing... My bad. But I do have a request for all of you that read. I am trying to get published into the upcoming issue of JPG Magazine w/ a set of pictures I have of Family Fun Arcade. The upcoming issue has a theme titled "Favorite Hangout" and I thought this set would be appropriate to the theme.

So I ask all of you to sign up and vote for my set and hopefully we will be seeing me in JPG Mag! Yes, I know registering is a pain, but all you have to do is fill in 5 blank spots and check a box! It can not take more than 45seconds out of your time. So I ask again, sign up and vote! It will be much appreciated!

FYI, Tomorrow morning I plan on waking up early in the morning and taking some long exposure shots of the beach at sunrise. So check back soon to see the results of that shoot. Its been a while since I went landscaping. Take care and God Bless.

Blogs Gone Mobile!

instead of keeping the blog up to date via PC, I'll be able to update the blog any time i want through my phone when I get the chance.

Thank You

Just finished updating the website. Hope you all enjoy! The site wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for my cousin Dejoy in helping me put together the frames (she basically did the scripting for it =P). So Thank you Dejoy! ^_^

A few Pictures from a family Mother's Day get together. Enjoy.

Drum roll please...

Yes, Uy Photography is starting its first blog! I plan on not only posting my more recent work here, but also giving you all random food for thought through this blog since its a lot easier than updating my site. Hopefully I will be able to keep this update on a daily basis.
