Photo Credit- Somebody Else!

As a part of our schoolwork, Sarah and I have been talking about citing sources and giving credit appropriately when writing papers. I showed her good examples on friends blogs of how they quoted, and cited, various authors, books, articles and even gave photo credits. In doing so I realized I have not done a very good job of that here. Part of the reason is that many people take pictures of the different aspects of ministry for me. After all of the pictures are loaded into the various folders on the computer it's not possible to identify who the photographer was.



I take some of the pictures posted on the blog- but not very many. Most often I ask someone else to be responsible for taking pictures of each different ministry we have going on at that time, simply because I can't be everywhere at one time & I only have 2 hands! Sarah is hands down the photographer for most of the pictures on the blog, because she's always with us and always has a camera (or camera phone!) in her hand.



Team members also take a lot of the pictures seen here. Many times at the end of their trip a team will put all of their pics on a disc and give me a copy. That's why you sometimes see pictures of events a month or so after they take place. I might not have any photos at all until I receive that disc from the group- and then there's no telling who took them.



So this is my official disclaimer-

I'm not trying to take credit for photos posted here.

Who took them? Somebody else!
