The Utah State Office of Education Title VII Program in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Red Butte Garden, the Urban Indian Center and the Utah Natural History Museum hosted the second annual of the Earth Connections Camp, American Indian Nature Camp on June 18.
The camp’s goal is to reconnect urban American Indian youth with their natural world and cultural heritage, organizers said.
The 30 campers, divided into two groups, spent the day at Red Butte Garden learning about American Indian traditions, history, arts and craft, storytelling and nutrition.
American Indian educators and specialists from the various partners led each of the learning stations.
Juan Palma, BLM Utah state director, was the keynote speaker. He shared his story of growing up in a family of migrant workers and the difference education made in his life.
Other activities during the day-long camp included building solar toys and constructing dams with the assistance of Bureau of Reclamation staff.
“I was so impressed with the instructors, volunteers, and especially the campers,” said Jeanette Shackelford, BLM Utah State Youth Program Lead. “The kids were respectful and attentive, and I personally learned a lot from listening to the different sessions.”
Organizers hope to continue to collaborate and expand the day-camp to have more students attend.

Many things have changed. Changes always come to you when you need them. For example, I started use my Nikon flash off-camera. That was something like a New World to me. Here are first results. I should name all of these pics under one project-title-name-brand-etc.etc...I just decided to post them in the form I wished them to be. Titles are self-explanatory. Or, occasionally they just need to be completed by you.

This is one of the images that i was commissioned to shoot for a company called EMS, focusing on electronic assemblies and components for use on their website that went live yesterday.
It was fun to do and a new challenge, i think they work pretty well, check out the website and let me know what you think.
=D
I love these little regional jets. This is a Delta Connection (Comair) jet.
Would you believe, that I was very tempted to be a commercial pilot? Oh yea! And I would have been bloody good at it too!
A nice way to get a foot in the door is to work for these little regional jet airlines. You start getting experience and 'pay your dues'. Sadly, these poor co-pilots start off at around 16,000-20,000$... That's pathetic!!! However, their pay starts to skyrocket once they move up the ladder and become a pilot, especially if they move up to the larger jets. The starting of 20,000$ can easily go up to 150,000$, and that's more than your typical dentist makes. They are one of the highest paid professions in the US when they reach seniority.
Why do they make that much? Well, it's not easy, and few people are suited for that type of job (especially for those who find the radio in their car hard to use, no offense). The other reason though, is that they have horrible work hours which makes it very hard to have a family. At any given week they work 4 days out of the week, but they are GONE for those 4 days at different locations. That's so sad, and the main reason why I won't be a pilot, even though I would love to!
Fun in some ways, bad in others.
Dam that jet is hot!

I thought my Arduino board was broken. (Look at the note above.) But it turns out that it's normal for that connection to not be there. How do I know? I looked at Flickr photos of other people's Arduino boards.

The journaling reads:
Connections this week - Found connections and lost connections. Why is it that lost connections occupy so much head space. Other people's choices are theirs to own. Why is it so hard for me to accept lost connections for what they are? Why do I make this more than it is or take it personally. Sometimes it is not about me - but why does it feel so bad none the less? Why do I keep on taking it as a personal reflection of my worth. Sometimes it's nothing to do with me and it is wholly about them and their own lives.
Why do I always think it is my lacks rather than something else entirely? Another way to torture myself and point to my own lack of self-worth and personal values.
This was meant to be about the good connections of this week and there were plenty of them too. But I really need to let go of their stuff.

I never came close to making a living at it, but I worked pretty hard at a part-time freelance gig for about 7-8 years. This is one of the first photo spreads I got published, a shot of an open house at a grocery store that turned out to have a lot more photographic potential than I would have guessed before I took the lens cap off.
Bad Connection
(Popa Chubby)
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
I hear your voice but the sound is wrong
But there’s someone that I hear and I know that it’s not you
‘Cause you ain’t got no reason to be lying about the truth
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
I got wrong directions that’s why I didn’t call
For my own protection I’ll tell you what’s been going on
Let me say the things I know I shouldn’t say
The things that hurt so bad and make you turn away
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
There’s a bad connection that’s why I don’t even call
For my own protection when my back is to the wall
Let me say the things you know I shouldn’t say
The things that hurt so deep and make you turn away
There’s a bad connection on the long distance telephone
