I have already uploaded this photo to this site, but because of something that happened today, i thought I would include it as my entry for this assignment. I try and come up with either something humerous or something thought provoking when I either name an image or upload it to a site. A lot of times I am probably the only one that "gets" my comments, but I'll keep doing them anyway.
With this image I try and send one image to a group of Government clients each week, just to show them what I have shot over the week. They say they enjoy getting my sunsets and kitten and dog photos.
On the weekend while walking through the city I spotted the reflection of this church in another high rise building. So I forwarded the image and the caption below to the Government clients.
Here is a shot of a fractured reflection of a church in the city. Not a metaphor for the state of Christianity in our country, it’s just a picture.

The response I received from James, who I have never met, just spoken to on the phone a lot over the years, has truly affected me. Why you could say it has inspired me. It borrrows and expands a little on Pat's post above. But to get this sort of critique from just a knock about young bloke has moved me. I include the comments James sent me,

If I were a Christian I would say “the lord works in mysterious ways”
If I were an atheist I would say “like a reflection of a building so is god in the face of men; nothing more than a pretty trick”
As I am neither I wills say this “The properties of physical optics are a wonder to behold; After all no one can truly describe the underlying nature of the universe, be it a reflection caught in the eye from a particle born of nuclear fusion in a star, or simply a sense of wonder and joy born from the sprit within at seeing it. To each the universe is a unique point of view revolving around the individual; we can neither say weather we truly existed when we are gone all we can do is express what we see through our eyes to others; The photographers craft is that of poetry for the eye, like any art it looks to mean to those who mean to look.
J Thanks Steve thought provoking photo I like it.
I did not fix any of James's spelling mistakes because I make enough of them myself, but his second last sentence is one of the most inspiring things I have read, whether it is borrowed or not.
The inspirational photo for James and me...
