In case you have not heard... The photographers of Imagine Nation are trained through daily reading of the bible and weekly discussions of bible topics.  We have a private online yahoogroups where we post our reflections during our "Quiet times" with the Lord, and we are taught to lead and share the word with other people.

Where in the world can you find a photography program like that?  But when i look at the members of my team... their photo works and attitude are fantastic.  Even if i can't answer how our photographers come out great by doing this.. the product speaks for itself.  We have produced several senior photographers who i have to admit are already even better than their teacher -- me.
    
When i started the imagine nation program 2 years ago... i told the Lord ill be ok if he sent me just 1 person... were now almost in Batch 3 and out of 40 to 60 people who apply he always picked out 12.

Now here is something to be really proud about... my reason for Blogging...

Imagine Nation won yesterday in a photo contest joined in by Professional Photographers.

Nothing great you may think... but the one who took the Shot, Heidi, is not even a junior photographer. She was just an apprentice.  It was not a paid prenup and i actually just sent her with the couple to practice and i was not even there to guide her.  So it was literally her "first prenup" as main.  Heidi, is a part of Imagine Nation batch 2 that started 6 months ago.... she joined in not to become a wedding photographer but just to be fed spiritually.  Little did we know God was giving her (and us included) a bonus by bagging #1. :)

I would also just like to brag that...
1.  di ko kinareer pagpili ng picture.. just remembered a shot that i liked, pulled it out from the folder and sent it.
2.  Tho it was a contest where digital manipulation was allowed.. the picture we sent came out of the camera. No leveling, cropping or sharpening or any sort of retouching was done.
3. The contest was via voting... we did not have a single representative in the fair (kasi di kami nakasali).

I share this as proof that when you walk with the Lord and put your faith in him,  Never worry... He's got your back!  PRAISE GOD!!! Way to go Heidi! :) We got our eyes on you!

Finally, the winning shot!
