Hi everybody! :)
If you're a teenage photographer, you'll might be interested in taking part in MMM's first-ever exteneded photography feature. To take part, look at the list of questions below.
1. Choose 1-2 of the questions (if you pick two questions, they must be from different sections) and leave a comment with your name and the number of the question(s) you chose. I will then mark the question(s) as "Taken."
2. Send your answer(s) by September 20th to mm.ministry@gmail.com. Answers should be approximately 8-15 sentences in length. Please stay away from Internet chatspeak, spelling mistakes, and grammar errors! :)
3. Along with your answer(s), please send me your 4 best photos (as links or attachments). Completely optional, you may also send me a self-portrait in addition to the 4.
- If you choose a question from the "Portrait" section, at least two of the photos you send should be portraits.
- If you choose a question from the "Nature" section, at least two of your photos should be nature shots.
- If you choose a question from the "General" section, send in whatever you like! :)
I will choose several of the photos you send me to include in my layout. As a photographer myself, I know how important your photography is to you, and I will NOT use steal your work or publish it in MMM without crediting you.
All clear? :) Great, now onto the questions!

I have chosen two questions. I almost chose three but wanted to leave them open to others.
The questions I chose are:
How do you feel about photography lessons -- is it something that can (or should) be taught?
God teaches us a lot about himself through nature. How can nature photography help us tell the world about God? Should Christian-themed captions and titles be used to make this message clearer?
My pics will most likely be nature ones as that is what I tend to do.

I've had thoughts on this previously so I thought this would be a good one to answer.
My email is katieshau@gmail.com, so I'll be sending an email about this soon.
Thanks!

Oksana-- I'll answer numbers 2 and 8. (I know that number 2 says that it's taken by Abbie, but she actually has number 3 :D)
2. Do you prefer to take planned, conceptual portraits; or spontaneous photos? Why? [TAKEN by Abbie]
8. Have you ever used your love of photography to help a church or Christian ministry? Tell us about your experience.

Portrait question 3:
What can a photographer do to glorify God in a photograph that focuses on a person?
As a photographer, I see photography as an art and my portraits are my pieces. So as an Artist, my philosophy is to show the beauty of God's creation and ultimate design through the faces of his children. As God delights in his people, so shall I.
General Question 9:
What was the biggest challenge or most difficult experience you have encountered as a photographer?
I've found that directing is the hardest part for me. As a Photographer I feel like I ought to be able to give directions to the people I'm taking a picture of but sometimes the words just are not there. I guess only through practice and experience will I ever get better.
My name is Stewart Uy and my email is uyphotography@gmail.com
I'll answer question #1 in the Portraits section - it's one I'm particularly fond of :)
I'll e-mail you about it soon - my e-mail is kjers932mail.com.
