You Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself


I like how this tree forms itself around the other tree, as if to be a good neighbor.

You might think that trees are like people. Some of them care, others don't...

Trees do show us the way and their living together, their care (not only) for each other is highly remarkable.

God's love in the world, which as you know is the thread that connects my pictures, illustrates here love of neighbor, which I think we need more of in this world.


"In response to the question about the first of the ten commandments, Jesus says: "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' ...

The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." (CCC 2196)

"The stuff that’s for everyone, that’s easy to click, sniff, share, produce and learn–that stuff ends up having no character. It’s not memorable. Tater tots are for everyone. But would you miss them if they were gone? The goal isn’t to serve everyone. The goal is to serve the right people." ~ Seth Godin



Whether it is your work, your art, your website, or your relationships, it doesn't help you at all to know that you can't please everyone. But do use that knowledge to be more distictive, and do better for those who you can please.


"Everyone has the same message. If you can be different, you will lead. If you don't you will fall in with everyone else." ~ Cal Newport


"If people see your work as a negative, it means go deeper with it to be more distictive and unique." ~ Paul Klean, Artist Coach

Autumn Sunlight Through Trees

I think these two images are a really good illustration about the illuminance of Fall color ...

Radiant light from the sun illuminates the Autumn leaves still left and silhouette the branches of the trees.

In life, we never know the impression that we can make until we show our true colors for all to see.

For example, one of the things I try to do is to be a real person to those around me.

In the black and white image, there is more 'color' than a color photograph to me, because removing the color shows the true details of the moment.

I want to share these images today because I think they would make a nice Thanksgiving card, if you sent them, check the links below.

Site Wide Birthday Promotion October 29 Only!


For my birthday, all Prints and Greeting Cards, Phone Cases and Tote Bags, and Shower Curtains at rock bottom pricing!


Click to Browse Frank J Casella Photographs





Why offer discounts?

My life mission is to share hope and God's Love in the World. Art is in the eye of the beholder.

People have told me how they, in their mind, hold onto my pictures, but can't afford to own it.

Others can afford my works, and in an online marketplace a discount helps them to make the decision to buy it.

When someone offers me a bundle of money for one of my pictures, I'm not silly and accept it (and donate most of it back into the economy).

My ultimate goal is not what price you pay, but what it is about my work that makes it priceless to you.

Most important, I do this to thank my parents, and Jesus, for my life and for my birth, and for the gift of telling a story through a photograph.

Our thoughts go in many directions like the leaves from these plants. Yet, God's thoughts are above our thoughts.

I, too, fall into the (dangerous) trap of finding solutions for my problems without God.

Yet when I come to the end of my rope, and finally turn to God, the situation comes out way better than I could ever do myself.

When will I ever learn. I'm not God and never will be.

Once again, I'd like to introduce to you my personal project

Home Sweet Homewood 1 Day

Moments In Time Photographs of Homewood, Illinois,

-- my home town.


I'll be sharing with you each new post, from time to time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Click here view image in full-size or to Purchase.



While walking the trails in the Homewood Izaak Walton Preserve, I found these two people in conversation on the bridge in the golden hour sunlight.

October brings with it pleasant weather and, unlike April, Autumn colors and sunlight.

This image reminds me much of childhood memories at the preserve, and is very much a 'Norman Rockwell' moment, who I both studied and did my portfolio thesis on in art/photography school.

Hope you can make some time to enjoy the beauty of the Fall colors, and if you are near by please make a visit to Homewood Izaak Walton (hint: Last week of October usually is most colorful).


Note: Proceeds from your purchase of images of Izaak Walton go to support the Preserve.


Enjoy October!!
