Some Video Stuff….

It’s been too long since I posted some video on here… I promise to shoot a few new video-blogs soon..especially during my forthcoming ENGLAND trip next week!

The video above was during the Canada tour. The girl to my left, wearing the scarf, came up to me as we were packing away our guitars and amps and said “I’m sad you didn’t sing your song Above All Else!”. So as there was a piano on stage, I said “why don’t I sing it for you now?!” She’s a vocalist at her church, so we did a duet and a friend of hers videod it…so here it is!

I’m also really encouraged to know people are using my songs across the globe. It always surprises me (!) but it’s good to know they are helping people connect with Jesus. Here are a few covers…

Thanks for using my songs…and for your encouraging feedack about them. I’m writing for a new album right now…so it’s always cool to go through the archives and see that the oldies are being used. Inspires me to write more… hoping that they’ll all be of use to people, in helping them connect with jesus.

Peace,

Vicky

Learning To Take Photographs…

Hey Blog crew!

How’s your week going?

Well… I am getting into a new hobby…. learning how to take photos! I’m pretty stoked about it… so I’m in the process of getting a better camera and wanting to learn Photoshop too…fun times.

Here are a few pics I took in Canada using my cheap point and shoot. I’m trying to figure out what makes a good angle, and what makes good lighting…

As you can see I have LOTS to learn, but I thought I’d share a few pics of “before” I get the good camera and learn some editing tricks… then I’ll post some “after” shots in a week or two, and hopefully you’ll see some progress in my skills!

Thanks to Daley for not minding me snapping pics while he played this grand piano in Victoria BC, Canada… These shots remind me of what a fun tour we all had out there.

In half an hour I fly to Ohio to lead worship at a girl’s conference. I’m traveling all day – leaving San Diego at 10.40am and landing into OH at 8.30pm so I’ll have lots of time to read, pray and think. I love days like this – wide open for contemplation, soaring miles above the earth on a plane….

Anyway, back to photography, I think I’m excited about the concept of it because ‘a picture says more than a thousand words’ (or whatever that old saying is!) I see so many things during my travels, and I’d love to be able to document them. Especially when I travel to the third world and see a lot of challenging sights, like I have in Africa, Mexico and Peru… I wish I’d been able to snap them and keep them to show others.

So partly it feels like a fun new past-time, and partly it feels like a responsibility – that because I get to travel and get to see so much, I have a responsibility to learn how to capture those experiences and share them with others.

Here’s one more shot I took… trying to get a cool reflection…

Anyway, that’s enough from me rambling about my new photography hobby!

Anyone else got any interesting hobbies? I know there are other photographers out there…. Any bungee jumpers, or videographers or surfers or knitters??! Tell us about what you do to relax….

Love,

Vicky
