Classy Couple - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

I took this inspirational photography and fine art landscape last summer in Rockport Harbor, Massachusetts. This is one of my favorite quaint New England harbors where you can find all kinds of boats and gift shops. Rockport is actually a haven for artists, so you can find wonderful paintings and photographs for sale. This photograph focuses on two classy traditional lobster boats moored in the midst of other more modern boats. It is a crowded harbor, so it's hard to photograph one or two boats all by themselves. I hope this photograph inspires you to get to the ocean and go out on a boat for some fresh ocean air.

I hope this inspirational photography image and fine art landscape inspires you to give thanks to God for all of the blessings He has given to you. This is a special time to "count your many blessings, and name them one by one," as the old hymn says.

This fine art landscape of the autumn leaves and an old fence was taken at the base of Stone Mountain in Stone Mountain State Park, North Carolina.

Blessed Children - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Christian Friberg

Children are a true blessing of the Lord and a reward. I am so thankful to God and my wife for my precious children. Here are my two youngest out for a walk in the fresh autumn air up on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. I ran ahead of them, set up my tripod, and then waited for them to come around the corner. I wanted to get an action shot because I'm getting tired of posed photos. I was happy with the result as they came walking around the corner hand-in-hand with their beautiful mother. You may have heard the hymn, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one." Well, here are three of my biggest blessings, with one missing. I hope this inspirational photography image and fine art landscape inspires you to count your many blessings and to name them one by one.

Flaming Autumn Forest - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

While driving around the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in the fall, there's one song that continually comes to my mind. Actually, it's an ancient hymn that most of us are familiar with. It's called, "How Great Thou Art." Each verse ends with the chorus, "Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art!" These are the words that rise in my soul when I survey the awesome beauty of God's creation and all of the flaming colors of the autumn landscape.

When I first saw the above scene, the brilliantly colored trees seemed to be so alive and flaming in all their beauty. I hope that this fine art landscape and inspirational photography image sparks a sense of wonder and awe in your heart at the glorious beauty of God's unfolding autumn artwork. This photograph was taken at the base of Grandfather Mountain, on the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 5 miles southwest of Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

Beauty of Love - Inspirational Photography and Fine Art Portrait by Josiah Friberg of Moravian Falls

I took this inspirational photography image of my wife when she was pregnant with my son, Judah. I like the way that most of her face is in the shadows and turned away from the diffused light coming in the window. This fine art photograph speaks to me of the beauty of a pregnant woman and the beauty of the love that holds the husband and wife together and brings forth a God-designed family.

U.S.S. Constitution - Christian Landscape Inspirational Photography by Josiah Friberg

I thought this inspirational photography image of the U.S.S. Constitution, "Old Ironsides," would be appropriate for this 6th anniversary of the cowardly terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. I was fortunate to be cruising Boston Harbor on the day that this famous historical sailing ship was out stretching her legs. By Blue Ridge Photographic Society photographer, Josiah Friberg.

Consider the Lilies - by Josiah Friberg, Blue Ridge Photographic Society

We just had our next Blue Ridge Photographic Society photo contest, and this is the losing photo that I submitted. Out of five contestants, this photo by Josiah Friberg came in 4th place :( The competition this time was very stiff and hard to beat. Alisha H. won the contest with her amazing and creative rose photo that had her 3 daughters-flowers embedded into the rose petals. Castine F. came in 2nd place with her gorgeous flower photo, followed up closely by Pam C.'s incredible and perfect photo. These winning photos will be posted soon for you to see and compare. I'm a tiny bit sad that mine got such a low score, along with John's, but Alisha's photo had all of the right elements working together to make her the clear winner this time. Congratulations Alisha! Castine and Pam both had perfect photographs which I thought were great as well.

July Winning Photo: Bridge to Light, by Josiah Friberg, Blue Ridge Photographic Society

WINNING PHOTO FOR JULY 2007: Every month our Blue Ridge Photographic Society has a photography contest around a different theme. This July the theme was "Bridges." When all the votes were in, there was actually a TIE between Josiah Friberg and Alisha Hauser, for the best bridge photo. For some reason some members thought we needed a tie break, so they voted again and chose this photo, "Bridge to Light," as the tie-breaking winning photograph of the month. By the way, this was photographed in Moravian Falls, just off of Highway 16 South, near the brick Baptist Church. I was fortunate to arrive early one foggy morning with my tripod, and I proceeded to shoot the bridge from every angle. I loved the way the morning light was trying to pierce through the fog in the trees. Glory to God for creating such a beautiful scene for me to capture!
