NARTHEX ARTIST OF THE MONTH
Adam Brimer
"I make photographs… The key for me is to listen for God's voice between the clicks of the shutter and try to understand when I should press the button or simply sit the camera down… I have to decide which is more important, having a limited visual depiction of 1/500th of a second of my life or the limit of my memory." Adam Brimer is a freelance photographer in Knoxville and Redeemer's first guest artist. His wish for you is not only that you enjoy the photos but that you are reminded of the things that give you joy. You may contact him via email (atbrimer@gmail.com) or visit his website at http://www.adambrimer.com.
