More practice studio lighting and here's Mr. Jonas.
Jonas is a Swedish young fella volunteering as a mission builder in Kona Hawaii. Shooting Jonas I thought it would be easy yet I directed him and I learned about his story. But what's an interesting about this young fella that he's not just an out going and layback kind of a person? Every person has a story...if it's bother you to read. And sometime someones story can change someone else life or heart just a simple. Jonas worked as an assistant nurse to help an old people by help them to get things that they need for the day and he said to me that one day he'll gets old and wants to be treated nice, he met many type of an old people that he loved and enjoyed working with them that gives an encouragement for him to keep on coming back. But sometimes he had some sour person that hard to work with and wanted finish the task as quick as possible.
I was stuck from the voice that I heard in my head with a question.."Am I a sour person right now?" What's in my heart? Is it full of trash? I was almost fall on my knees and my heart was crushing while listening to Jonas story because I noticed that lately I have been so negative and full of stinky thoughts of others and things, hardly to get an creative ideas on shoot photos assignments. And I know deeply this is not usual. But in the same time I gotta get back to concentrate in what I was doing and finished.....
No, I was lost that night. I don't want to be a sour person...but sweet and sour sounds good to me.
God's mercy never finish on me and He redeemed the gratitude for mercy in me back up again and again and again..... endlessly.
"I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He judder me faithful and appointed me to His service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-- of whom I am the foremost. But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience, making me an example to those who would come to believe in Him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever, Amen." 1 Timothy 1:12-17 (NRSV)
