Christopher
Renfro found his passion and purpose in life three years ago in 2009 and
has since turned it into a profitable passion in a big way in spite of
suffering from a severe disability.
Christopher creates art though what he calls light painting.
In a recent interview with The Weekly
Flickr, Renfro said;
“When I first found
light painting in 2009 it just completely blew my mind. I have spent my entire
life really not knowing who I am, what I am supposed to do, or why I am here
and when I found light art photography I knew instantly who I was.”
“I have a mental illness called borderline personality
disorder, and it has created a lot of challenges in my life. When I’m having a
rough day I can just go off and create art. And just the act of creating
something is very therapeutic to me.”
Watch Christopher's Weekly Flickr interview below.
Christopher posted his initial photos to Flickr and was
quickly invited to join a community of fellow light enthusiasts. He says, “I
wouldn’t be here and have gotten this far with them and their support.”

According to The Weekly Flickr, Renfro’s advice to others
with disabilities is to never give up. “You don’t know what tomorrow is going
to bring,” says Christopher.
Denis Diderot said, “Only passions, great passions, can
elevate the soul to great things.” Passion is where the magic happens. Passion
is the engine that drives purpose.
Christopher Renfro found himself when he discovered his
passion for light painting and it gave his life purpose. He disability could
have left him bitter, angry and lifeless. Instead, Christopher chose to live a
life of passion and purpose.
