“God made a great world, and enjoying it is one way we worship him and are moved to praise him, and therefore it is something he enjoys watching us do.”
— Adam Mabry

    Here’s a little about me

Every photo tells a story—thanks for helping me tell the next one.

Over 1,000 of my photos are free to use on Unsplash and Pexels because I believe creativity is meant to be shared, not hidden behind a paywall.

With over 3 billion views and 25 million downloads, I’m blown away by how far these images have traveled. If one of them has inspired your project, saved you time, or simply made your day a little better, would you consider supporting my work with a tea? (I’ll tackle coffee… someday. 😉)

    -Austin Kleon Keep Going

  • When you see what’s present around you as if for the first time, you start to realize how astonishing it all is.

    -Rick Rubin The Creative Act

  • Lord, help me receive the beauty and richness of nature as gifts from you that reflect your own abundance and life. Teach me how to glory in it so I rob neither you of your due nor myself of joy. Amen.

    -Timothy Keller Songs of Jesus

  • Whether you create from a position of pain or jubilation, we need you, your gifts, and your talents.

    -Quincy Jones 12 Notes

  • There is never a shortage of awe and inspiration to be found outdoors. If we dedicated our lives solely to noticing changes in natural light and shadow as the hours pass, we would constantly discover something new.

    -Rick Rubin The Creative Act

  • Don’t wait for things to be perfect before you share them with others. Show early and show often. It’ll be pretty when we get there, but it won’t be pretty along the way. And that’s as it should be.

    -Ed Catmull Creativity, INC

  • We were not made to make ourselves great. We were made to marvel at God’s greatness.

    -Adam Mabry The Art of Rest

  • When we start to fill our minds and hearts with voices that don’t really add meaning, over time we’ll silence the voice of the only One who does.When we start to fill our minds and hearts with voices that don’t really add meaning, over time we’ll silence the voice of the only One who does.

    -Matthew Knisely Framing Faith

  • We cannot suppress our souls’ appetite for what is awe-inspiring. The goal is not to mute all smartphone media but to feed ourselves on the right media. We were created to behold, see, taste, and delight in the richness of God’s glory—​​​and that glory often comes refracted to us through skilled artists.

    -Tony Reinke 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing…

  • The internet is us. So rather than writing off social media and other platforms as irredeemable, let’s be intentional about creating and communicating truth and beauty with the tiny corner of the internet we control.

    -Daniel Darling A Way with Words

  • When we encounter something beautiful our first instinct should not be to take a selfie with it. Rather, we should be still, quiet, and amazed.

    -Brett McCracken The Wisdom Pyramid

  • If the divine Creator chooses to rest, we human creators must rest from our work in order to sustain creativity.

    -Andy Crouch Culture Making

  • You can’t wonder and discover when you’re in a hurry.

    -Carey Nieuwhof Didn’t See It Coming

  • I like the descriptive image of sunsets, because there’s something that happens in the waning hours of the day that causes all of us to look toward the horizon, breathe, and reflect. Sunsets are life’s way of reminding us to focus for a second.
