    … it doesn’t seem all that long ago when I began teaching 7th and 8th graders photography and learned that most of them did not have a camera. I am not certain how others teach photography to those without a camera, but I have no idea, so I put out a call to all of you on my email list asking for donations of cameras that you no longer use. The response was overwhelming and I received more than 80 cameras and everyone in mine and Brian’ classes had a camera. Brian teaches video and I teach still photography. Wow, I got so many cameras that I split them up between the City of Sedona for use in their Artists in the Classroom program and of course at Mountain View Prepatory where I teach.

    Last Friday we had a field trip; first to the Mary Fisher Theater where we saw the movie The Valley, which Brian directed and it was excellent. The story of saving the Telluride Valley from development by the residents of Telluride. A trailer to the movie can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QcPbzu2AYk

    From the theater we went up to the Sedona airport where the kids got to see and photograph some very cool aircraft … in order, Jim’s Lancair IVP, Bill’s Pitts aerobatic under construction and Valin’s Lancair Legacy. Valin did a high speed low pass down the runway and the kids got to go to the edge of the ramp to watch and photograph him as he made the pass.

    Then it was over to Genna’s home for Pizza and nature photography before they went back to the school. Thanks for the pizza, Sus … it was delicious.

    These are the cameras that you so generously donated to the cause and as you can see they are being put to very good use. Thank you, you have no idea the joy you have brought to these kids and for years to come other kids will be using them and finding joy in what they can accomplish!

    Busy week coming up and a good week to boot. Friday I catch up with the kids and see what they shot last Friday.

    Have a beautiful day, keep smiling, keep breathing and seek out beauty … in nature and in people!

    And in this journey over a thousand hills and valleys called life, he is wisest who
    is patient where the way is hard, has faith when he does not understand, and carries
    into the dark places the light of a cheerful heart.

    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→
