An Interview


One of my PhotoBlog friends, “Anna”, an American in London, has offered an “interview challenge”. She recently accepted it from someone and then offered it to anyone else who wanted to be interviewed by her. I immediately obliged. She said I could answer five or as many of the ones she asked that I wanted. I liked all the questions, so, I chose to answer all eight!


What are you most passionate about in your life?
Being creative. I can be “passionately creative” and “creatively passionate”. As I’ve said before, I just find that I’m most happy when I’m being creative. Creativity can show up in every area of life. Equal to this passion would be my faith in Christ.


Pick a song that best describes you.
This is difficult because I love music very much and have “many” songs that are like “theme songs” for me. I’ll just have to pick one. I would say, “I Owe It All” by Paul Colman. It’s really a song that describes my relationship with God and how I “owe it all”, everything in my life, to Him because He has given me every good thing in my life. As the bridge of the song says, “You always lift me when I fall, You always hear me when I call, and you forgive me, Lord, and in your grace I am found”.


In a quiet moment you get to yourself, what do you do?
In this season of my life, I have a lot of opportunities for “quiet moments”. Really, I always have. Once I step out of the work environment, I have the opportunity to go create a “quiet moment” if I like. I guess it’s a matter of when I choose to have a quiet moment. I would say a true moment like this would be when I read or pray.


What surprises you most about other people?
The amount of hate that some people can have.


Who has made the most impact on your life? Why?
That’s a very difficult question. So many people that I have known have shaped who I am in some way or another. I’m going to have to say my Grandparents and Parents. No matter what, they’ve always been there for me to fall back on.


Share one sure fire way to get to your heart?
Love, Hope, Beauty, and Adventure speak to my heart.


What is one thing you own that would be hard for you to give away?
My laptop computer.


Share something that you hope to do one day.
Share the beauty of the Grand Canyon or a walk on a sunset lit beach with someone I love. I would be taking in a little bit more of the greatness of God and experiencing “Love, Hope, Beauty, and Adventure” all in that moment.


If you are also interested in being interviewed, leave me a comment saying, "INTERVIEW ME." Then, I will respond by asking you at least five new questions. You will then post on your blog your answers to my questions. The fun continues when you include this explanation and an offer to interview one of your readers in your post. When they comment requesting to be interviewed, you will ask them at least five new questions of your own.

Nice capture. I love how the background makes the "not sure what to call it" Hood Ornament?? :) :) really stand out.. :)

Anna said...

This was wonderful. It is so great to get to know you better. I really want to go to the Grand Canyon too! Maybe one day...

Thanks for participating Chad!

the pic's awesome......the yellow background makes the silver stand out....

First of all, I really like the picture. What kind of car was that ornament on? I like how it's placed against the yellow background of a nearby car.

It's nice to know a little more about you too. I've had a regular blog for over a year, and have pretty much laid it all out there as to my personality over that time. I even have one of the ubiquitous "100 Things About Me" on there, but the photography blogs don't have a whole lot. You get it over time, but it's also nice to see a slice of you here like this.

Cool shots lately, Chad. I was just at a carnival and took some long-exposure shots of rides - it was fun.
Take care,

Joel

Hi Chad, great composition and I love the sleekness of the hood ornament. Anna gave you an interesting set of interview questions. I love your straight forward answers with no compromise.
I'd be honored to be interviewed.
