When we were navigating the myriad of emotions we felt about living with HIV back in the 1980's, I never envisioned something like what I had the great blessing to observe and enjoy recently at Georgia State University.
My friend, Dr. Larry Bryant, a professor at Georgia State University, has created an accredited course on HIV Awareness (HIV 101) that is very well thought out and it is having a wonderful effect on the 60+ students enrolled this semester. Imagine, an actual accredited course on HIV, with a text book and everything!!
I was blessed to have the opportunity to share my experiences as a person living with AIDS for the past 25 years. The bredth of the knowledge exhibited by the students was refreshing! Thanks to Dr. Larry Bryant for inviting me to speak and listen. Thanks go to him for having the vision and perserverance needed to make it haopen. I pray that every college and university follow his lead and institute a cousre just like it. Among these students is the person who will discover the cure for HIV.

Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery
120 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
circa 1840
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery was built on the banks of what was Bayou Metairie at the end of Canal Street in 1840. In 1841, the remains of firemen buried elsewhere in the city were moved to Cypress Grove. The entrance pylons and lodges were designed in the Egyptian style by Fredrick Wilkinson for a cost of $8,000. Many Protestant began to be buried here when the Girod Street Cemetery began to deteriorate. The cemetery is lined with Wall Vaults many of which contain the remains of volunteer firemen. There are also several large multi-vault tombs of volunteer fire companies such as Perserverance Fire Co No 13, Philadelphia Fire Engine Co No 14 and the tomb of Eagle Fire Co No 7. Elaborate tombs such as those of the Robert Stark and the WH Letchford families stand in the cemetery alongside the cast iron tomb of former mayor foundaryman, Charles L Leeds. One of the most interesting tombs, is the Soon On Tong Association tomb used as a temporary burial space of Chinese residents. The remains were once brought here for ceremony before being shipped back to China. The tomb of Maunsell White, veteran of the Battle of New Orleans and promoter of the use of hot peppers and pepper sauces (still used today), is buried here.

This kid had been trying to join a protest rally one morning in Cuzco. Unfortunately, he couldn’t catch up with the group. I thought I’d lost him when I saw him shooting across the town square pumping his crutches like mad in an attempt to head them off. I snatched three quick exposures before the crowd swallowed both of us up. T-MAX 100,f/8, 1/125

The bridge was already turning to close the gap over the Umpqua River as soon as "Perseverance" had passed by. I was driving across about 10 minutes after I took this.
The more I looked at the forget-me-nots I posted the other day, the more I thought a crop might be a good idea. So, here it is. I do love my Tamron macro lens.

Day 181/ 365. The halfway point of the Boston Marathon in Wellesley seems to be a fitting metaphor as we head into the halfway point of our 365 photo a day "marathon".
At the onset of the marathon, it's exciting and we're filled with high hopes of finishing in a strong way, but along the way there are hills, stumbles and obstacles.
We're about halfway there... so to everyone doing the 2009 Photo A Day...I wish you inspiration and perserverance in this marathon endeavor!
