God's Boxes


I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

Light tent Photography Experience

Our second photography lab exercise was about Light tent. It was my first time to hear such word or term for the course.
 
During the activity, we were asked to make a box, with holes at four sides. We are also asked to cover it with white muslin cloth that gives an effect to the subject. We also made use of Halogen lights and miniature things.

me and ynez, during the activity
The SLR cam of my group mate was automatic and has a feature like the DSLR. It has a light meter, not like the typical SLR cam we used last time in the 1st lab activity which is to take photos inside the campus’ vicinity.

I had a hard time in taking such photos in this exercise because I don’t know how to analyze the small circle in the viewfinder. Which Allyn my group mate said, that it was the one you will check for the focusing of your subject. Then one of our halogen lights was overheat, so I don’t have any enough light for the shoot.

I hope I can do it again and with my own cam someday and the expertise on SLR cam’s parts and function.
