How We Learn
NPR's "Tell Me More" 8:30 - 9:00 AM doors open, breakfast served; 9:00 - 10:00 AM LIVE SHOW
8:30 am - 10:00 am MDT on Tuesday, July 2, 2013
(Tickets Required) Join NPR's "Tell Me More" for three captivating discussions: In the first, we look at the ways innovations in education are transforming learning experiences for today’s students. Gone are the days when music class was just about listening to Mozart and math class was taught the same way to every student. For the second discussion, we hear from Shabana Basij-Rasikh, who was willing to risk her life in her native Afghanistan for an education. She would finish high school in the United States, eventually graduating from Middlebury College two years ago. Now she speaks about a school she co-founded in Afghanistan that helps young women access education at home and abroad. And finally, we address parenting your twentysomething. No shortage of articles have been written about young people in their twenties, who aren’t making enough money but are making less-than-stellar life decisions. Yet, some suggest that rather than expecting the worst from our 20-year-olds, we ought to set the bar high.

It's hard not to imagine them feeling something like joy when they do this, pretty joyous to watch anyway. This youngster is still hanging around where it was born, strangely it's father ( presumably ) hasn't been agressive towards it as far as I've seen, very un-swan-like behaviour especially considering they must have imminent new arrivals. I'm pretty sure it can't fly, does it's right hand wing look damaged ? I know they're perfectly capable of surviving without being able to fly, I just worry how long dad's patience is gonna last, especially once the cygnets hatch. In previous years he's not been known for his patience............
The unutterably gorgeous Neil Young song ' Expecting To Fly '.....
Sometimes a portrait can turn out very differently to what you expected...even at the point where you were taking the shot.
This is from my shoot in March with Melissa.
There's nothing like casting against type, so at this point, rather than have Melissa appear effortlessly gorgeous (as she normally does), we were going for more of a "wild thing" look.
However, as she was wearing dark leggings, they disappeared against the black background without any requirement for addition Photoshopping.
If the title of this shot doesn't mean anything to you, you may wish to review the works of H.G. Wells. :-)
Melissa is featured in the current issue of "The Skinny" and also appeared in a five page fashion spread of the Sunday Herald at the weekend.
Go Melissa, Go! :-)
You can see more pics of her in my Melissa set.

So over the weekend I went and shot for the first time since September(ish).
I had more fun than I expected. I've probably touched my camera twice since September, and I really haven't missed it- the stress is still fresh in my mind. Plus, I knew that this venue was SO so SO hard in terms of lighting, so I really wasn't expecting to enjoy the shooting aspect.
There were 5 bands- I arrived during the second band, and didn't touch my camera until the last band came on. As I said, I enjoyed it a bit more than I expected to, but the lighting was still pretty harsh, so the photos weren't quite as good as I was hoping (but I really didn't have any expectations, just due to past experience). But I did notice that my composition was severely lacking. A lot of my photos were just...ugly- even when you didn't take the lighting into account. Kind of a bummer, but I know that'll come back if I shoot more.
I've had moments of missing photography lately. I can see it making a return, but in a really different way. I still haven't figured out quite how. Maybe trying to build up a concert photography thing (...because this photo is such a wonderful example of that, huh? eek haha!)- but I really don't anticipate ever trying to make a career of commercial photography. That was half of my dream for a while (along with concert photography)- but commercial photography seemed too personal for me.
And right now, I just don't have the best gear for concert photography, and not doing portrait work nixes the possibility of buying better lenses. Thankfully, I'm not too concerned with it. I'm enjoying my time away from it.
Consistent shooting might happen, it might not. I won't get back in to it until I'm REALLY loving it again, but it will never be like it was in the past. I'm never going to let it be my "only thing" ever again, because that set up a pretty miserable relationship!
Called the Avenue of the People, several streets in Port Angeles, Washington sport sculptures inspired by residents captured in welded steel by artist Bob Stokes. The torsos are spread up and down the sidewalks reflecting the daily activities of local residents who served as models for the sculptures. In the background a doorway shadow obscures another of these abstract statues.
Love, exciting and new

Running several hours late, Amtrak train 8, the Empire Builder, flies through Edgebrook, Chicago, with the Amtrak Exhibit Train, including NPCU 406 and P42DC 42. The Exhibit Train had been on display in Spokane, WA.
Another simple one light shot to remember these days.

We have one girl (as you've probably figured by my flickr pool) and now we're expecting # 2!! I love this fabric combo for the nursery! DH is the decision maker/co-designer. He has the final say on this one. He wants vehicles that look hand drawn/cartoonish. Nothing TOO bold or colorful. This combo fits perfect!

A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.

As expected, they are slick...
I left the house at 1140 with +13C temperatures and expected some rain for later in the afternoon. I felt the first few drops turning the corner at the end of the block as I was finishing my ride. It may not be the last ride, but it will be the last warm one...
Don't expect to see the most beautiful and pristine formations in the world at Longhorn Caverns, because they're not here. However, there are still several points of natural awe and beauty in the cave. And what Longhorn Caverns lacks in formations it makes up for in historical interest. There are legends and rumors - of fossils, Confederates, outlaws, Indians, a kidnapping, and even an old underground dance hall. The entrance to the cavern is particularly dramatic, underneath an impressive natural bridge. I consider this Texas Hill Country cavern a "Must See" for those who are in the area.
The regular guided tour through the cave is a 1.25 mile round trip and takes 1.5 hours to complete. There is a little climbing involved, but the average person should have no problem making it.
In addition to the cavern, the state park offers shaded picnic tables, nature trails, an exhibit center, gift shop, and snack bar. There is no campground.
A $10 fee is charged per adult for the cavern tour. Other ammenities in the park, picnic areas, trails, exhibit center, etc., are free. The park is open 363 days a year.

Many supporters and family from around the world at this event. Unlike in other countries where this is a very popular sport second to soccer, we have limited exposure to this as a spectator sport. Despite this, attendance has been more than expected, there were over 10,000 at the oppenning ceremonies. These are the future Olympic track stars that we will likely see in the next Summer Olympics.
