Faith On Every Corner - June 2022
Pam Atkins, Photographer
From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord’s name is to be praised. Psalm 113:3
BY PAM ATKINS
My photographic journey began about 10 years ago when my husband bought me my first digital camera. Shortly after, I discovered my passion in photography. Through the lens of my camera, I began to experience the world differently. I discovered the multiple colors of serene sunsets, the blue hour of the pending night fall, the amazing star mass of the milky way and its surrounding skies, the excitement of capturing children escaping the lapping waves of the shoreline or new mothers desire to capture the rapid changing details of their newborn babies, the small and nearly invisible details of nature, the fascinating strangeness of wildlife which crossed my path, and the lives of those on the street. It was here that God continued to remind me of His glorious creation!
When I look back at my youth and my dreams, I realized I was always drawn to animal and human behavior. I have always been an explorer of nature, drawn to camping, hiking and travel. Now my photography draws me into the beauty of landscapes; its weather, its seasons, its creatures dwelling within that landscape.
This journey has touched my heart and soul in ways that I hope to share in my photographs. I call it my meditation that nourishes my soul. I have learned much through the remarkable photographers I have met along the way, Karen Ruhl being one of my first and most influential mentors. I am thankful for their insights and education. Through my photography, I am able to capture my life’s journey through life. I hope you enjoy my discoveries. Thanks to all who take the time to view my images.
