I Got a Sunburn at the Health Fair!

Granite Bay Montessori had it's 1st Annual Health Fair on Friday to celebrate the end of it's 1st Annual Health Week.  From noon to 3, kids and parents enjoyed a healthy lunch, Jamba Juice and lots of fun and games.  And I forgot to wear sunscreen.  Ouch!  Enjoy the slide show preview of the event.

Hey, Teach!

I was invited to teach a class on digital photography at Granite Bay Montessori for the upper elementary kids this summer.   I feel totally honored and excited about this.  I'm already thinking about making models that explain how ISO, aperture and shutter speed all affect light.   

I get to be a geek again!  I'm stoked!

Miksang & The Agony of Defeat

Yes, I did borrow the phrase from the Olympics.  It happens to be the one athletic institution that I still respect.  Well, except for the recent Chinese women's gymnasts' age debacle, but that's another blog.

The Miksang conference I was so looking forward to attending has been cancelled.  While I'm terribly disappointed that I won't be going, I can still practice Miksang on a daily basis.  That's part of what I've always loved about photographing, anyway.  I get to turn my experience of what makes life beautiful into a visual translation.  So as I was shooting the Fall Carnival at Granite Bay Montessori yesterday, I also started looking around for those little, overlooked things that make it unique.  Here's something I found.  Hope you enjoy it.
