More Than a Photograph
June 10, 2011 | Category: For The CityI’m Elizabeth Azide, a communications intern at Tarrant Area Food Bank. Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to visit one of our mobile pantries (http://tafb.org/food-mobile-pantries.html) at the Northside Interchurch Agency in Fort Worth to take pictures for our website. I arrived at the site with one thought in mind, “I’m a photographer today. I will capture the essence of this program.

Most of us don’t like to get out of our chairs though or go outside where it’s not safe to do such things. I began to loathe this academia type of “all theory no practice” approach to following Christ. It bubbled over at one home group a few weeks back and I got riled up over the topic.
