In My Hand


In my hand is my Nikon D90.  I have had this for about 10 years.  But it is not the only camera that I own.  I also have a Minolta X700 and a Minolta X750.  But the Nikon is the one that I use the most because it is digital.

I have always had a camera since I was a little kid.  I guess I was meant to be a photographer, but I am my own worst enemy.  I don't like to take pictures of people (see "What is still on my SD Card"), but I will do it when I am asked.  I like to take pictures of landscapes. Moab, Utah, and Monument Valley one of my favorite places go.


But I my photography has lead me to some interesting experience.  If anyone has gotten the Dials Christmas Cards the past few years, I have been the one taken the pictures.  That has lead to some great shots of the kids.  At one points I was asked to me the ward Photographer.  This was a great experience in that I had to take pictures of people and not have to worry about posing them.  During this time I was asked by to Bishop to come and just take pictures of the service project that the ward was doing.  At times I felt really guilty that I was just walking around for 6 hours and taking pictures and not performing the service.  In the end  of the day, I was called by one of the Bishops councilors, and asked to do a write up of the Service Project.  I also did a video of the all the pictures that I did that. day.

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
