Inviting you to slow down, look closer, and be amazed

Think Instagram, but not really.
I shot a picture a few months ago of this church that we ended up using in our current sermon series at our church. I just received a sketch of that picture from an 11 year-old that was watching our stream in Missouri. I love it. Talented kid!
When we first talked about visiting Iceland, the very first place I wanted to see was Vestrahorn. There’s something about these jagged peaks jutting out of the landscape that immediately captures your attention—it’s hard to explain, but you can’t look away. The mountains themselves are breathtaking, but what makes the scene even more powerful is how the tide pushes water onto the black sand, forming natural mirrors that reflect the peaks above. It’s as if the land and sea are working together to magnify the beauty here. For me, this spot will probably always remain my favorite place in Iceland. There’s a strange familiarity to it, a sense of being drawn in.
There is nothing quite like standing underneath a waterfall. It’s more than just looking at it—you get to experience it. The roar of the water surrounds you, the mist hits your face, and it wakes something up inside you. In Iceland, they call a waterfall a foss, and being this close feels like more than a moment—it’s a reminder. The light drizzle refreshes your perspective and brings you back to what really matters. For me, it was one of those times when creation quietly points back to the Creator.
I captured this picture on the morning we left Landmannalaugar. It was early and it had been raining as we left. No one was on the dirt road that leads out of the Highlands. The light was perfect and I grabbed this shot. What struck me was how absolutely quiet it was. I even turned to my wife and said “listen, can you believe how silent it is?” It’s times like this where my sense of time escapes me. The mix of different textures and color made this image almost appear to be a sketched.

For the past couple of years, I’ve been trying to share my images with the world—and like a lot of photographers, I thought Instagram was the place to do it. It used to be about photography, but now it feels more about chasing reels, likes, follows, and trying to keep up with a moving target called “the algorithm.”
