what else

Kate and I don't normally like to talk about too many other things besides the events and thoughts we can publicly talk about. Kate and I are happily involved in various fields, many of which constantly overlap: Kate continues to do web design for a number of clients as well as working for an events company here in Edinburgh, called The Fringe where she designs some of their annual magazine. She's been able to meet so many people through her talents.

Besides studying to get a Master's degree in public policy (which has done wonders with creating dialogue and contextualizing the culture of this city), I continue to explore ways of using my photographic and video passions as well.

I recently went to Sir Maxwell's home to begin shooting a documentary on his eco-friendly sanctuary he's developing and wanting to begin educating and promoting as a facility people can come within a 15 minute bus-ride of the city-centre to learn about the environment and sustainability. This place is amazing, and potentially looking at ways that Eikon can be environmentally conscious...after all, it's His world, Christians need to continue to be most active in this area. (Great article by Tom Friedman in NYTimes called "The Green Planet")

Kate is working on a brochure that does a gallery event on different paintings that depict Christ laughing....somewhat odd but pretty cool if you think about it. Christ has often been (visually) depicted in this stoic, monoemotional state. If he was incarnational, surely he expressed all the human emotions available.

I am also going to be promoting my wedding photography. I just have to shoot some weddings over here. Kate did an awesome job redesigning the website, including the name. You can check it out: davidchristianphoto.com

All this to say that we love seeing our passions used within and outside Eikon, complementing each other so well.
