Graduate School
Ever since I started taking courses at UW with the Certificate of Technical Writing and Editing, I’ve been itching to continue working in the Human Centered Design and Engineering Program. And now I’ve finally applied to their Master’s Program. I thought I’d take a moment and share with you my entrance letter to the program.
Photo Friday – A Rainier Sunset
I took my camera, my stove, and my dinner up to Spray Park. Finding an exposed ridge line, I sat looking back and forth between the sunset and the reflected colors on Mount Rainier. These two shots were taken in the height of color.
Photo Friday – Sunset Over the Mountains
I took my camera, my stove, and my dinner up to Spray Park. Finding an exposed ridge line, I sat watching as the sun sank low in the sky. This was taken at the height of color.
Photo Friday – Spray Falls
This picture was taken with a B+W Neutral Density 3.0 MRC Filter. This filter was needed to slow the shutter speed on such a brilliant day.
Photo Friday – Glacier Basin
This picturesque mountain basin is an easy hike from White River Camp. Although we did not get an opportunity to see him on this visit, a bear regularly frequents the Glacier Basin area.
Summer Adventures, Part II
In August, I posted about some of my early summer adventures. As summer gives way to fall (and in Washington quickly on to winter), it’s time to reflect back on the rest of my fond memories of summer and fall trips.
Making the Shift: How to Position Yourself for a New Career
We live in a tough time to be without a job right now. For two or three years now, I’ve been positioning myself and searching for a new career path. It’s not that I didn’t love my old one, but I had grown ready for a change and ready to take on more responsibility and a larger leadership role in my career. Six months ago, I made a monumental decision. I fully committed myself to this new career search, and formally resigned from my teaching position.
Photo Friday – Soft
This picture was taken with a B+W Neutral Density 3.0 MRC Filter on the Bulb setting, using a stop watch for timing. I took a variety of shots so that I’d have several different exposures when I returned. I finally settled on this 53 second exposure.
Photo Friday – Smooth Rapids
Another beautiful extended exposure of a small set of rapids.
Photo Friday – Perch
This little campsite visitor was quite curious about our neighbors. I was lucky enough to have my telephoto lens ready top capture his antics.
