Here's a new photo I just finished working on from a road trip here in New Zealand. I've been working on some NZ photos lately because I'm excited that I've finally become a citizen! Well, kinda. I got the email that says I've been approved and now just waiting on the ceremony. They give me a little tree I can take back and plant in the garden... It's all very exciting! Now I'll have two passports so I feel like a spy. A lot of people ask if I'm going to give up my US Passport. No... I'm not. I'm not anti-US or anything. I would prefer if 100% of my taxes went to NZ, where I actually live. The whole tax thing is a big mess, I tell ya. I did look into it and the US Government will add up all my assets and charge me 50% for the "right" to give up my passport. It's one of those things that is completely stupid and makes me lose almost all faith in amoral governments and the way they treat their citizens.
I took the Citizenship pledge yesterday and officially became an Australian Citizen. I haven't revoked my British Citizenship but now have dual :)

In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where the US government incarcerated Japanese immigrants ineligible for citizenship and Japanese American citizens during World War II.

Unser Bürgerrecht ist in den Himmeln, von woher wir auch den Herrn Jesus Christus als Retter erwarten.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the most moving moments of last weeks getaway had to be our last day in Boston. We had the intention to start our day on the Freedom Trail in Downtown Boston. We watched people filing out of the Govt Center by Faneuil Hall with loved ones all around. It turned out that 200 people just became official citizens of the United States of America. They were all getting pictures with their loved ones and I had to snap this proud young man pose with his family. It was a stirring moment to my soul.

In 91 BC, various tribes in the south of Italy formed what became known as the Marsic confederation and rebelled against Roman authority due to political grievances in part revolving around citizenship. They raised an army of 100,000 battle-hardened soldiers, most of them Roman army veterans who had been denied Roman citizenship, rights, and a fair share of the booty and lands taken in Rome's conquests. In 90 BC, Rome only just managed to stave off total defeat, but after Roman victories and citizenship concessions, the war was nearly over by 88 B.C.
Calpurnius Piso Frugi's massive coinage issue was intended to support the war against the Marsic Confederation. The type has numerous variations and control marks.
As a corporate citizen, Alpay sets an exceptional example of social responsibility for other organizations through his wide-ranging support of youth, sport, arts, culture, health care and social causes. His quiet personal philanthropy extends to his belief in corporate philanthropy, and his company is his most visible way of giving back to the community through sponsorship of, and donations to, countless organizations and
events.
As an employer, he truly believes that good culture starts at the top. In recognition of this, in 2017, his Canadian Tire store was presented the award for Outstanding Corporate Culture at the Prince George Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

Good Citizenship
George Washington School
Ms. Alison Stigora, Teaching Artist
Ms. Antoine O’Karma, Classroom Teacher
1st Grade
This was a 24-week residency, during which students explored the idea of citizenship from various viewpoints, including how we can be good citizens of our homes, schools, neighborhoods, country, and the world. Students collaged books and learned about Asian art through printmaking and designing handscroll. In addition, the class also considered others as they collaborated on a large painted scroll with the theme, “What would you wish for everyone in your school?” In the second semester, the class learned about endangered species and ways we can be good citizens of the earth by caring for the environment. Students created mixed media habitats for the animals they were studying.
