December Photo Project, day two.

I wonder how many times the HONY photographer gets told no? A lot, I bet!

Rebecca B. didn’t tell me no this morning because I didn’t ask her. And yes, I realize how annoying that is to have someone point their camera at you. I totally took advantage of her and I am 100% happy I did so. (She’ll forgive me—just look at her joyful face.) I couldn’t resist the light flowing in through one basement window, the way it washed right over Rebecca as she stood patiently making coffee for our women’s bible study at Redeemer. I love the grittiness of the scene around her. Something in me greatly delights in capturing life as it is, not being afraid of some peeling paint or exposed ductwork.

Thanks in advance to my name-twin for letting me post this (even though I didn’t ask). I hope you see here what we, your friends and admirers, see in you: a beautiful, open, friendly and generous heart.
