Love can strike out of nowhere, like a storm carrying us off... as if we were weightless and inexistant. At times, we relish in the blind faith we are granted, other times... we wish things would just clear up. -- Part 1 of a series of images I recently did at l'AMETAC ! We made a ridiculous mess of the place to get these shots but I think it was really worth it in the end! We have some pretty breathtaking stuff thanks to an amazing team. Make sure to check back and see how these shots were done in an upcoming Behind the Scenes Video! Oh, quick parenthesis - I'm in Vancouver if anyone around the area wants to grab dinner :) Videographer: Eva Jinn Productions - www.eva.vonwong.com Models: Alexandra Viau - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=509307313 Michael Demski - http://www.modelmayhem.com/1495877 Assistants: Anick Morel - www.facebook.com/anickmorelphotographe Holy Decay Linda Zheng Shawn Noone Daniel Jacques Special thanks to Karine Robitaille for lending me her trampoline and l'AMETAC for sponsoring this shoot! — Thanks for viewing my photostream =) Please leave a comment and feel free to throw in some constructive criticism! ©VonWong Montreal Conceptual Photographer vonwong.com - Facebook - Twitter - Flickr
We can enjoy the presence of God continually in our hearts and in our homes. Jesus says, “Abide in Me.” Abide means to stay with, or to live or dwell with. He wants to make His home in our lives. He promises to never leave us—it is we who stray. As a child of God, I want to be with my Papa. Noah walked habitually with God. (See Genesis 6:9 Amplified.) This is how God wants us to dwell/live with Him. This was His original purpose and His purpose today, right now for each one of us—to dwell in His awesome presence, to make our home with Him moment by moment. God wants to dwell with us wherever we go—including our homes, our dwellings. God is a dwelling God. He desires to dwell with His people on earth. When John saw his vision he “heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.” (See Revelation 21:3.) Like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house…pleasing to God. (See 1Peter 2:5.) The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing—to walk with God and talk with God as we go through our day. In the Old Covenant they built altars to burn a sacrifice to earn the right or to become worthy enough to enter God’s presence. In the new covenant we no longer offer a burnt sacrifices, for Jesus is the lamb that was slain that takes away the sins of us all. We now offer ourselves as a “living sacrifice” to God (See Romans 12:1). Each day we consecrate or devote ourselves and our family to live for God, which is our “reasonable service” to Him. Jesus said, “Dwell in Me and I will dwell in you.” (See John 15:4.) King David prayed, “O God, my soul finds shelter in You, yes, in the shadow of Your wings.” (See Psalm 57:1.) When we live in unbroken fellowship with God, and enjoy His presence 24/7 everywhere we go, we are inseparable with Him and our whole lives are changed. He causes a thankfulness to rise up within us. He compels us to love, to give Him praise, and to worship Him. He gives us eyes to see things the way He does. Our values become like His and more and more we honor and appreciate eternal things more than temporal. The fruit of His Holy Spirit, the love, joy, peace etc., permeate our lives. Jesus said, “Lo I am with you always.” He is with us in the grocery store, the bank, our laundry rooms, our yards, our cars--how can we NOT have Him in our homes? I pray, “My dear Lord and King, wherever You are is my home and Your home is with me—how glorious to be together all the time. In You I live and move and have my being. I offer myself to be a place for You to dwell.” “I am restless till I rest in You, O God.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuhYZrn4flo Song: Restless by Audrey Assad.

Jennita and Greg, veterans of Chicago's Hubbard Street, stopped by my studio one day for some shots. They pulled off this leap after 4 or 5 tries. I've photographed dancers for many years, and I'd never seen anything quite like it.
If you have your heart set on getting upside down, here are eight moves to practice. They'll help you build strength and stability, so you'll be standing on your hands in no time!
