Welcome to CLIQUE!

I can trace my love of photography back three generations, to the early 1900s and my paternal great-grandfather, Henry Mattson. I have a really cool photo that he took of the old family homestead in Minnesota, sometime before 1910. According to family history, Grampa Mattson frequently took photos of his world - the people and places that he loved.

It warms my heart to know that this love of photography didn't skip any generations as it passed down to me! I am blessed to have such a legacy and I hope to pass it on to my own children and grandchildren some day.

I experience a physical and spiritual thrill whenever the Lord shows Himself in His marvelous creation around us and in the people I meet. My dream vacation would be to spend a year or two just traveling around the US, stopping at little out of the way places and photographing the interesting characters and the beauty of nature to be found along the way - those things that draw me closer to GOD and help point others to Him, too.

Been Awhile...

Lots of photos I have not posted in the last several months. Challenges and trials (literally) and changes have filled up this year. I still love photography and the way taking and editing photos help me mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This year, however, I find myself using my "real" camera less and my iPhone camera - or more accurately, my Instagram app - more and more. It's a fun, quick and easy way to record the goings-on in my life, without having to lug around my Fuji.

 This post and the next few following will share many of the Instagram shots I have taken this year. Only editing done was in the app itself and not through Photoshop as I have done with my other photos.

 Enjoy!
