Have Yourself A Macro Christmas

One of the things I love the most about snow and ice is the exceptional beauty in miniature that appears in so many different ways.  Here in Scotland we have had several feet of snow, frozen ice, fog, temperatures of -19 C, and rain...or some combination of all these, many times in the one day.

And I love getting up close - sometimes very very close - to that beauty, because it reminds me that all this beauty was designed by a Great Designer.

In photography we call that 'macro' - or 'close up' photography.  Let me encourage you to get very, very close up to the creation this week.  

 

After all, there is a molecule in the human body called laminin, which literally holds our bodies together.  And if you looked very, very closely, you would see that laminin is in the shape of a cross.

Now isn't that beautiful.  Happy Christmas.

Reconnecting Beauty With Truth

"In the last hundred years, we've started to reconnect beauty with truth, and I think Makoto's work represents a fusion of that."
