Today's photo is based upon a program being filmed on campus. First of all there is something being filmed at school at least once a month. In this case it is the Paul Reiser show. The "classroom" was set up in my good friends room. Amazing how TV and reality are vastly different. In this image you can see so much of what NOT to do with students. The most glaring thing here is the level of language used (Elementary) yet you also have long division on the board. They even covered the white board in the classroom in favor of all this "stuff."

After reading to my students the history of the QWERTY keyboard it made total sense for me to make this my photo of the day.

During "Career Day" at school today I seized the opportunity to teach several of my students about Photography. I wanted to teach them that Photography is more about "vision" than it is about "seeing things" So we spent about 20 minutes photographing the Fire Engine that was there. I wanted them to see the lines, texture, shape, color, highlights, and shadows of the various parts of the engine. My photo of the day is the image I made of a valve for the main hose.

While waiting for my flight at the Orlando International Airport I noticed how the light was creating these cool silhouettes of the passengers waiting for the tram. I timed this one to catch part of the boarding passenger and her bag as she got on the train.
