Ice on Car - 24 December 2009 ========================= From December 24, 2009 =========================
Another year coming to an end and we wake up to some ice on our vehicle again. If you remember back on the 5th of February of 2008 I was also able to capture ice on my car.
Amalgam Creative Arts ========================= Paint it and stuff it! 🎨- Vertical =========================
This image was originally shared on our Instagram and Facebook on March 19, 2023. Later, we created a video based on it, which was shared in November of the same year via our YouTube channel. Here, you now have a vertical version of it. A project for Ostara.
Holiday Play! - 19 December 2009 ========================= From November 19, 2009 =========================
These are the photos that I took at a Holiday Play that Armandzraven's niece Kateri participated in. It was held at a house and as you can see it was packed with parents and family members. Decided to add a frame on the ones where you see Kateri to better focus on her.

Profile Photo Flashback! - 05 December 2009 ========================= From December 04, 2009 =========================
Although I'm not one who changes/updates profile photo often, I do update it from time to time. When I do update it, I like for it to be unique. On the 4th of December of 2009 I trimmed my face from a photo that was taken by Rocio during the road trip for Reventon Super Estrella from 2008.
After cropping the photo to be just my face, I turned it into grayscale, then changed it to a black and white silhouette. Those are the images you see on this collage
The chronology follows the creation/edit date.

Fruit - 04 December 2009 ========================= From December 04, 2009 =========================
A random photo that I took of fruit in a bowl.
One thing I've noticed as I've gone through my photo albums, and perhaps you may have too as I share them via these photo/video collages, is that many times the random photos are something I found interesting at the time. Perhaps it's appreciating and capturing the small little moments. Life passes by so quickly that we need to pause from time to time to just take it all in.
Hopefully, you are enjoying a small view of my life as seen through my lens, occasionally through the lens of family & friends, as well as the occasional audio/video/game/etc. that has shaped and continues to shape my life.

Celebrate American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month! - November 2009
=========================
From November 2009
=========================
This is from the November 2009 diversity calendar where we provided information American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. Read below for the information.
American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month
• At the turn of the 20th century, people began making proposals for a day to honor Native Americans.
• In 1914, Red Fox James, a member of the Blackfoot tribe, rode horseback from state to state in the hope of gaining support for a day of tribute.
• The following year, Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a member of the Seneca tribe, persuaded the Boy Scouts of America to designate a day of recognition for Native Americans.
• New York was the first state to observe American Indian Day in 1916. Over the years, other states followed suit in designating a day to honor Native Americans.
• In 1976, Jerry Elliott (High Eagle of the Cherokee/Osage tribe) authored congressional legislation that was signed by President Gerald R. Ford. The legislation declared the week of October 10-16, 1976, as Native American Awareness Week. Elliott served as national chairperson of the event.
• The celebration was expanded to a month in 1990.
Theatre for Everyone! - 12 October 2009 ========================= From October 12, 2009 =========================
This is a photo of the booklet and ticket stub I received for the play "Honus and Me," a play adapted from the book, which was part of Childsplay's 2009-2010 season of Strikingly Original Theater for Young Audiences and Families.
I was able to watch the play at not cost because I volunteered along with #TargetVolunteers to help stamp and pass out books for the upcoming shows that were part of the Target Storybook Season.
This was photo taken a day or so after the event, was my third time participating in this type of volunteer event, and originally blogged about it a few days after the event.
