What is Scripture SNAPSHOT?

 

  Hi, my name is Jamison Lundgren.  
I'm a outdoor photographer and have been taking pictures for 7 years now. I mainly do landscape, wildlife and close up photography. It's so awesome being able to capture in pictures the beautiful and amazing creation God has made!  My relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing in my life and to serve Him in all that I do. As you can see I'm in a wheelchair and have been since I was 8, due to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I was not supposed to live past 16, but thanks to the Lord I'm 32. The only movement I have is in my left thumb to drive and I can turn my head just enough to tap a switch with my chin for changing modes in my chair. One of my favorite Bible verses is Philippians 4:13 which says: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" I love that because despite any circumstances, conditions or whatever it may be your going through, with Jesus Christ in your life as your personal Lord and Savior He will give you the strength to be content in all  situations and He will give you opportunities you never thought possible. I can relate to this in my life because despite my disability and condition I can still be used by God and for His glory because I know that all things work for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 

    You are probably wondering how in the world does a guy in a wheelchair take pictures? Well I use a device called a CamRanger 2 which allows me to control via an app on a laptop, everything on my Nikon D5300 DSLR or Z6 Mirrorless camera wirelessly. My powerchair controller becomes a mouse on my laptop via Bluetooth. I attach a camera to my wheelchair with a modified monopod that sets into a flagpole holder. To get to places that regular power chairs can’t go, I use a Trackchair- the rugged vehicle pictured here. This is thanks to generous donations from family and friends. It gives me the ability to get to remote areas and take awesome photos. 

 I've been wanting to do a blog with my photography for awhile now and after much prayer and thinking how to do it I came up with Scripture SNAPSHOT, to combine Bible verses and the photos I take. Most importantly to share the good news of Jesus Christ! So what is Scripture SNAPSHOT? Basically it's a blog that I choose a Bible verse or passage that I want to share and then have a picture that compliments the particular scripture. I'll give a short commentary and refer to various Bible scholars and teachers. Other things will be how it applies to our lives and a quick reflection in my own life. at the end I'll tell you how I took the picture and what camera settings and equipment I used, like ISO, shutter speed and aperture etc. Also where the picture was taken. There will be a post at least once a week to start out then twice a week. I hope they will be an encouragement, and help people come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! 

I live in Arizona, which in my mind is the most beautiful scenic states in America and so many amazing places to photograph. All of the pictures you will see are taken in AZ. I hope you join me on this adventure as we explore God's Word and His creation!
