"All truth and knowledge is important, but amidst the constant distractions of our daily lives, we must especially pay attention to increasing our gospel knowledge so we can understand how to apply gospel principles to our lives. As our gospel knowledge increases, we will begin to feel confident in our testimonies and be able to state: I know it.'" (Anne M. Dibbs). Model Kelsey Garry. (Photo by Karen Petitt)

SLADE GR.3 -we leaned to make our colours darker and lighter...but the best part was at the end when we got to mix ALL the colours together. It makes blahh.
It took me a lot longer than I had expected to get these pictures up from last weekend, but it's been hard to find time between my job and volunteering. Taking pictures just has not been the most important thing for me at this point, but nevertheless I will continue squeezing the shutter whenever I can. Hopefully, we will all be able to see dramatic transformation of these areas back into their original beauty, but it is clearly a long road ahead.
If you live in the area and wish to help, please contact me and I will send you a list of volunteer centers throughout Miyagi as well as a list of important equipment to bring with you. If you do decide to volunteer, please go with an organized group and bring the necessary equipment. I don't mean to frighten anyone, but I was notified again today that there still are dangerous areas. Don't go alone, please.
Here is a video that I took of the area the same day I took these pictures:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CazswZd454o
The area that these pictures were taken, was utterly obliterated by the tsunami. After a few hours of hauling items back and forth between my friends' destroyed home, I started to get a headache and feel sick from the fumes. In my last post, I also mentioned that I had heard of people setting off explosions and starting fires from trying to light their cigarettes.
We worked amidst pure devastation for about 5 Hours, however we were only able to salvage a handful of their things. Sometimes it was hard to know what was theirs, since the tsunami had swept a whole city worth of belongings through the first floor of their home.
Surprisingly, the four-year-old house was in pretty good shape despite the fact that it was blown back off of its foundation about 200 feet and sat about 10-15 degrees off of level (in the video I said 60 feet, but I meant to say 60 meters. The distance and angle is still a total guess, but you can judge for yourself in the pictures/video). The structure of house was in such good condition, that we were able to walk up to the second floor and salvage most of the dry, smaller items. Their daughter was just given a brand new bed and desk-set as an elementary graduation present, but we unfortunately could not take it out.
The reason we needed to go and salvage what we could as quickly as possible was because the house, although it did not look like it, was sitting in the middle of a road. The city and self defense force had given them only a few more days to clear out before they would have to bulldoze it down.
I asked the family if they had tsunami insurance, but apparently there is no tsunami insurance. They will receive a small amount of money from the government, but it will not even come close to covering the damage they sustained.
The most dumbfounding part of that day for me was not surreal experience of walking through the total destruction of an entire town, but rather the laughing and smiling that came from a family who just lost everything- everything except each other. Items and worldly possessions are of little value against the people we hold dear. I tried to reciprocate the smiles, laughter, and healthy conversation (especially in light of the children), but it wasn't easy fighting off the grim emotions lurking below the surface.
This last weekend, I was able to volunteer for a short time in Downtown Ishinomaki and also take a few more pictures/video The downtown area seems to be getting a lot more attention, and about half of the roads seem traversable. Downtown also felt incredibly safe during the day time due to the dozens of police and military (both Japanese and US) walking the streets and distributing food and water at the camps. I will post those pictures later this week.
I know my website is in shambles right now (I just have not had time), but I'm hoping to have it looking nicer as soon as possible. I've never really sold anything from my website, but I'm going to donate all of the money I earn from ANY of the pictures I sell (not just the quake photos) to Red Cross Japan for at least the next year. Please take it into consideration. Here is my site:
In addition, I contributed many of my pictures to QUAKEBOOK.org, and if you have never heard this organization, PLEASE check them out as well. All of Quakebook's revenue will also go towards the Red Cross Japan.
Lastly, you can contribute directly to Red Cross Japan here:

Thank you very much for facing this tragedy with us. With cooperation, strength, and perseverance, we can accomplish anything.
Take care,

Miki Garrison as asked Mr. Owl about the nutitional values of Diet Coke. Elizabeth Coleman, John Pitts and Shannon Page try someting a little stronger.
This bus is starting to look a little scruffy, which I find quite unusual for Stagecoach – but the book value of an asset should be run down before it can be retired. Double decker 16404 started life in London with former Stagecoach subsidiary Selkent. The panelling gives away the fact that it used to be dual door. It then moved to Devon, no doubt as a result of TfL's drive towards low-floor services, only to find itself working on local services in Glenrothes by April 2009.
I haven't seen Patryk aka Grani, for at least 5 years. Ok, so we did have some chatting and messaging over FB, but no serious stuff right? Just under a week ago, my old high school buddy send me an e-mail asking for my postal address, to send me something. I wasn't on facebook at that particular moment, so 4 days later this popped in with our company mail. Turns out that some 9 years ago, when I was still all-into-sports-kind-of, Patryk and I had this little warm-up routine before swimming based on Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Bodybuilding for Men" Book (circa 1981). The book was given to me by my father in 1994, for my 8th birthday, since already then I was ALL INTO flicks like Terminator 2, Kindergarden Cop and Predator (kids watch the strangest things, don't they?).
Anyway, Patryk borrowed this book during our sophomore year at Bydgoszcz's 8th High School and kept it long enough for me to simply forget about owning such a publication. The sentimental and surprise value, in addition to the note he left inside, generated an authentic grim and smile on my face and generally made my day.
Thanks for the memories P.
