]]>This visual offering is unabashedly presented by a proud grandfather, who...put his first digital camera, a 13-year-old Olympus, in the tiny hands of his three-and-a-half-year-old grandson...and then marveled at the results. The first three photographs are of Ethan, wielding a camera for the first time. The remaining photos are an un-cropped, un-edited, sequential, presentation of Ethan's visual abilities. Featured are his mommy, grandma, grandpa and Pumphy, the dog. Needless to say, More to Come. Bresson, Adams, Beware...Ethan's on the scene.

“Front Porch Fall"

dallas@dallaskinney.com (Dallas Kinney) — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>“Front Porch Fall” is a visual offering inspired by a blessed opportunity.

At this time of the year I’m usually taking photographic field trips to fall forests, hither and yon. But this year, 2010, I’ve had the privilege to be a 24-7, grandpa-care-giver to my 16-month-old grandson, Ethan. I've been blessed with this opportunity since his mother, Yubiana, a recently commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, is at Fort Jackson, S.C., completing her officer leadership training. So...my usual serendipity search for splendiferous fall foliage had to be put on hold.

But…my wife and I are blessed to live on an acreage in the Appalachian foothills. So, this visual offering, “Front Porch Fall,” is just that: photographs made on, and no further than 50 yards away from our front porch.

Not only has my stay-at-home-visual-voyage, re-enforced my belief that “God Has a Great Imagination!” but, as Marcel Proust so wisely proffered, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." Don’t believe me? Equip yourself with some “new eyes” and take a good look from your “front porch.” SEE!!!

Autumn Blessings,
Dallas

Flowers by God!

dallas@dallaskinney.com (Dallas Kinney) — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>Flowers by God!

“And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these” Matthew 6:29 (KJV).

We know, according to Genesis 1, that in God’s great plan, flowers were logically down on His creation list.They were preceded by heaven, earth, seas, and dry ground. But in Genesis 1:12 we discover that after creating everything, including vegetation, “God saw that it was good.” I’m convinced flowers had to be a visual catalyst for that declaration.

Look around and tell me that God doesn’t love His firmaments, mountains, oceans, trees, etc. Now I know “God is love,” so I’m not sure if He bothers with degrees of love, but if He does, I suspect that the flowers He created for our multi-seasonal visual pleasure carry a very special love message for each of us. The reason for this portfolio is to exhort you to never overlook these visual and olfactory blessings, for they are from the creative mind and hand of God…just for you! Get excited!

Blessings,
Dallas

Dahlonega Christmas

dallas@dallaskinney.com (Dallas Kinney) — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>Should you have a "Scrooge" in your acquaintance, I guarantee a visit to the Dahlonega Town Square, during the Christmas season, will transform his/her heart.

Dahlonega, Georgia, "Norman Rockwell South," is my hometown. It is located in the Appalachian foothills and is the site of this nation's first gold rush, in 1828. Most of the miners have left Dahlonega, but the gold remains...in the hearts of its residents. It is a place that still knows what Christmas is all about and celebrates same.

My Appalachia:Fall

dallas@dallaskinney.com (Dallas Kinney) — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>This “My Appalachia: Fall” gallery is the result of a visual voyage at Cooper Gap, in Lumpkin County, Georgia. Forest road 218 provided the path for, what I maintain, is some of the most concentrated autumn beauty that God’s wondrous imagination has ever produced. There is actually one other place where I’ve made photographs of His work that rivals Cooper Gap. Put me in your will and I’ll reveal that location.

Appalachian Gold

dallas@dallaskinney.com (Dallas Kinney) — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>This gallery, “Appalachian Gold” was created to honor Gold Rush Days in Dahlonega, Georgia, my current “hometown.” Gold was discovered in Dahlonega in 1828. I call Dahlonega “Norman Rockwell South” for it is quintessential-quaint, minus the northeast “attitude.” The photographs in this gallery were all made in Lumpkin County, where Dahlonega is the county seat. Enjoy!

She, in turn, gave me a tour of "Martha's Madrid." My photographs were made in various colonial Madrid neighborhoods that Martha had called "home."

Mission San José de Tumacácori

]]>Mission San José de Tumacácori is a historic Spanish mission preserved in its present form by Franciscans in 1828. Mission San Cayetano del Tumacácori was established by Jesuits in 1691 in a different location, as has been discussed by Seymour (2007b) who has documented and excavated this original native site and mission location. After the O'odham rebellion of 1751 the Mission was relocated to the present site on the west side of the Santa Cruz River and renamed; it is here that the first actual church structure was erected. The Mission is located in present-day Tumacácori National Historical Park, and is open to the public daily.

San Xavier del Bac Mission

dallas@dallaskinney.com (Dallas Kinney) — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>San Xavier del Bac Mission
Mission San Xavier del Bac is situated in the Santa Cruz Valley nine miles south of Tucson, Arizona. Framed in the warm browns of the surrounding hills and the violet shadows of more distant mountains, it rises, brilliantly white from the desert floor of dusty green mesquite and sage. The imposing dome and lofty towers, the rounded parapets and graceful spires etched against the vivid blue complete a skyline with a graceful enchantment.

From the earliest times, the Tohono O'odham settlement in which the Mission is located was called Bac, "place where the water appears," because the Santa Cruz River, which ran underground for some distance, reappears on the surface nearby.
The celebrated Jesuit missionary and explorer, Father Eusebio Francisco Kino, first visited Bac in 1692. Eight years later in 1700, Father Kino laid the foundations of the first church, some two miles north of the present site of the Mission. He named it San Xavier in honor of his chosen patron, St. Francis Xavier, the illustrious Jesuit "Apostle of the Indies."
