    So, this photography class I am teaching with 7th and 8th graders is really a lot of fun, but it is a little difficult to go far without cameras … like with no iPhone and no camera, it is difficult to do the assigned shooting for class, and the school only has two cameras for the kids to use. Most of us still have one or more older digital cameras from years ago that still work perfectly fine, but have purchased the latest and greatest cameras and the older ones are consigned to drawers and closets because having the newer ones you do not use the older ones.

    Please check and see if you have such a camera, Canon PowerShot, Nikon Coolpix, Olympus Pen or older DSLR’s of any brand ditto non DSLR cameras. My goal is to have a camera for each kid in the class to use and they will continue in use from class to class for years to come. I think there may be a tax benefit to the donation too, and will provide you a receipt from the school for whatever camera you send me.

    Your gift of an older digital camera you no longer use will make a lot of kids happy and give them the tool they need to begin the journey of learning to be a photographer and capture of the beauty that surrounds us all.  Thank you!

    Last Friday after class I headed back up to Sedona, up to the airport and into the sky. There were a lot of clouds from the horizon up about ten degrees so I figured to great last light on the peaks, so spent the time adjusting altitude to get the color and perspective I wanted on the red rocks … and I did my favorite winter shots of the Sedona Mittens as this time of year the shadows thrown late afternoon appear to be sleeping spirits nestled in the valleys between the rock formations … at least that is my view of them. Almost free from the burden of light, they will soon take to the sky and spread their mystery over the earth … what is the creak in the floor? The noise in the garage? Security system on? It’s okay for now though as they are taking their nap before the freedom of darkness.

    Have a beautiful day and please check your drawers and storage areas for older digital cameras you no longer use and send them to me. It will make the day beautiful for a lot of kids, this year and beyond.

    Thank you

    Now the great green earth has turned to gold; and the fruit is gathered
    and the grain is garnered. So may we in the autumn of life, mellowed by
    experience, grow rich in beauty and service,
    as the green of the earth and the grain of the field.
    — Max Ehrmann

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
