Photo Assignment 2011

Kaitlyn Hudson

Colossians 4:2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

I chose prayer hands, as the main symbol for this verse,

which shows and illustrates the devotion to prayer. I

wrapped a cross around the prayer hands to represent

devotion to Jesus Christ because Jesus should always be

our everything.

Psalm 37:4Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I chose this photo because it illustrates the innocence

and complete happiness of the love we receive from the

Lord. With that love, He gives us the desires of our heart.

To me this photo shows true happiness caught in the

moment.

Romans 10:17Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

The Bible, being the word, embracing the cross that

symbolises our salvation in Christ. I chose this particular

photo to represent this verse because it illustrates that our

faith in Christ comes with reading his word and with

reading His word, you’ll always have Jesus whispering the

words of truth into your heart.

Psalm 33:8Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him.

I chose this photo because, if man can do this to a tree,

how much more can God do to man. It illustrates what

man can do to the earth which should then tell us, as this

verse does, that we should revere the Lord, for the Lord

is all knowing and powerful.

Isaiah 43:7Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.

I chose this photo because it shows an individual,

that has been called by the Lord himself, to glorify

His name. I believe that everyone is different and

unique, which is shown in this photo, but in the end

are called for the same thing, glorify God. To me this

photo shows God’s child, who WILL glorify his name.

Philippians 4:19And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

We come to Jesus hurt, bruised and broken from our

past, our friends and our family. The chair is a symbol

of all those times we have been brought down and

torn apart from the sin in this world. But only God can

meet our needs and repair us back to life, just as this

chair can be repaired back to perfection.

Colossians 3:23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men.

When your heart is working for men, your spirit will grow weak

and break down at old age, just as the carriage has in this photo. It

was created for a purpose but forgotten in the midst of its

brokenness. But, when your heart is working for God, your spirit

will be strengthened by Gods, and you will complete the purpose

God has for you, doing good and succeeding in all you do.

John 15:5I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

I chose to mainly focus on the last part of this verse: ‘…

apart from me you can do nothing.’ This photo only

focus’ on the cross which symbolises Jesus. Why?

Because without Jesus, what do we have? Where can

we go? What can we do? In this verse it stats nothing.

So, in this photo, I have simply made Jesus everything.

Ephesians 3:20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

Man looks on the outside, but God looks on the inside.

I took that frame of mind, into taking this photo,

because the ‘focal point’ in this picture represents what

man can imagine. But with God’s power working within

us, we can do so much more, as shown in this photo

when you look beyond the ‘focal point’ onto the actual

length of the wood.

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.

To me this photo shows God’s beautiful children

positioned in the transition of growing in the

knowledge of the Lord. From first reading or hearing

about it, to growing stronger and stronger in the

knowledge of who he is.

Colossians 1:10

2 Corinthians 9:6If we remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

I have chosen this photo to betray the heart of a faithful child

of God. Someone who may not have much, yet still gives. It’s

shown in this photo by having a few coins within a hat, to

represent a child of God generously giving all they have, not

expecting in return. But as we give generously, so does God.

Psalm 138:8The Lord will work out his plans for my life – for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.

To me this photo captures the care-free spirit the Lord has

given to his faithful children who hungrily and faithfully

live their lives according to his word. For his love has

assured their life within his hands. When our lives are in

his hands how can we not praise the one whose love will

endure forever.
