"Who I Admire"

I am not very well versed in the world of photography outside of Pullman, WA; within Pullman however, there is one particular photographer that I admire above everyone else. His work has an airy edit that evokes effortlessness, and he specializes in weddings, groups, and portrait photography.

his name is Josh Martin, and he overall is an incredible man. He walks with God as a pastor of Resonate church, and puts his faith and relationship with the Lord above all else. He is from Texas, and moved to Pullman, WA 10 years ago to plant a church here at the WSU campus.

He started taking pictures on the side as a passion, and as a way to make a couple extra bucks every month. He has been incredibly successful in his efforts, and is hired out for his photography as often as he can.

Josh’s favorite thing to photograph is his daughter Harper Glory. On his personal social media, he is constantly posting new pictures that he has taken of his adorable little girl.

Here are a couple of my favorite photos of his.

Josh also is an author of the book “Saturday Nothing.”

An autobiography about his life and his faith. I think the introduction to his book is powerful, and I have shared it with you below.

"All of us live in this mysterious place of in-between--an already, but not yet. The first century believers lived there too. But only for a day. Jesus was killed on Friday, Saturday nothing, but Sunday, bewildering Sunday, the tomb was empty, the promise come. For the twenty-first century believer, the story is much the same. We live in the day between--the nothing day. Our lives unfold somewhere between the blessed resurrection and promised second coming. The trouble of our Saturday is it lasts longer than a day. Our waiting, trusting, and nothing could very well last a lifetime. We inhale, but do not breathe deeply. We hear, but do not understand. We see, but it is through stained glass."

Here is the link to Josh’s Facebook where he has most of his newer pictures featured.
