Welcome to the Kasilof River Special Use Area (KARSUA) website. The purpose of this site is to educate and inform the public about the recreational opportunities, unique land use rules, and the wildlife habitat all within the KARSUA.
The KARSUA is designated as a Special Use Area (11 AAC 96.014(b)(26)) managed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Mining, Land, and Water, Southcentral Regional Office (SCRO). The SCRO determined these lands contain special biological habitat, and recreational values that warrant additional protections. Lands contained within the KARSUA will also continue to be managed as public domain lands under the authority of Alaska Statute Title 38, and through the principles of multiple use.
The KARSUA is Located on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. The main attraction for visitors and residents to the area is the Kasilof River. The Kasilof River is a relatively large, partially glacial-fed river stretching almost 20 miles, flowing north, northwest, draining Tustumena Lake before emptying into the Upper Cook Inlet. The river and adjacent areas are within a short driving distance from most of Southcental Alaska's major population centers (180 miles from Anchorage) creating many readily available commercial, recreational, and personal use fishing, and recreational opportunities for thousands of Alaskans and visitors including boating, hunting, beachcombing, wildlife viewing, picnicking and camping. The lower river system is also used for various commercial activities, namely fishing operations and is directly managed by SCRO through the issuance of authorizations such as permits and leases.
For questions, comments, and/or concerns about the KARSUA, or to receive information about current and upcoming projects taking place on state owned land within the KARSUA contact the Southcentral Region Land Office at 907-269-8503 or Adam Smith at 907-269-8557 or email: email@example.com.
The Kasilof River Special Use Area (KARSUA) is actively managed by the Southcentral Regional Office (SCRO) of the Division of Mining, Land and Water, Department of Natural Resources. The SCRO is tasked with managing general domain state owned land throughout Southcentral Alaska and undertakes a variety of management/stewardship obligations pertaining to public process decision making, issuance of land use authorizations (permits, easements, leases), and compliance/enforcement duties. Some actives require land use authorizations, while other activities are generally allowed.
Special Use Lands is a designation placed on certain lands identified as having "...special resource values warranting additional protections or other special requirements" (11 AAC 96.014). The following are the additional protections set by regulation within the KARSUA:
DNR's overall management direction puts its focus on maintaining and enhancing public safety, public education, access and recreational opportunities for public and commercial users as well as the protection of fish and wildlife habitat.
Compliance tools, such as education and public awareness are a very important part of the KARSUA. In order to lower impacts to the natural resources and improve the public's overall enjoyment of the area, the following will be considered and implemented as feasible:
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is pro-actively developing a comprehensive law enforcement strategy for the Kasilof River Special Use Area (KARSUA). The adoption of the KARSUA regulations was the first step in creating management structure for the lower Kasilof River that will address the present and emerging management problems. These regulations are consistent with the management intent of this special use area. In order for these regulations to become enforceable, statutory authority must be granted by the Alaska Legislature and a Bail Forfeiture Schedule adopted by the Alaska Supreme Court. Once adopted and enforceable, non-criminal citations (similar to a traffic ticket) may be issued by designated Peace Officers of the state.
DNR encourages everyone enjoying state lands to act responsively and adhere to area wide rules. If you witness a crime please call 911 to report the offense. Know your location, and be prepared to tell dispatch your name and contact information. Not knowing your exact location makes it difficult for dispatch to locate the crime scene. If the crime involves a vehicle try to get a license plate number, get a good description of the violator(s) (describe colors, make, model, clothes colors, hats, size, age, etc.). Safety first, never put yourself in harm's way to get information. If you feel like you're in danger then leave the scene immediately and find help.
The various land ownership patterns and the limited available public access to the lower river was some of the challenging factors the Southcentral Regional Office (SCRO) encountered during the development of the Kasilof River Special Use Area (KARSUA). SCRO has been collaborating with the key land owners in the area such as the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB), and the Mental Health Trust Authority (MHT) to help resolve many of the access issues. The Kasilof River, including the lands underlying the mouth and upstream to 13 miles, is a state owned navigable water body as determined through a Recordable Disclaimer of Interest process. The state, through the DNR, DMLW also owns and manages the tide and submerged lands out to a three mile limit.
The state (DNR, DMLW) owns and manages a number of upland areas adjacent to the river that are used extensively by the public and serve as main access and camping area to accommodate thousands of users of the personal use fisheries. The available state lands directly adjacent to the river mouth allow the public to readily access both sides of the river for the set and dip net personal use fisheries and the areas' commercial fisheries.
The south side of the mouth can be accessed by following Cohoe Beach Road to the end, then by travelling in a northeasterly direction towards the mouth. Another highly used point of access to the beach on the south side of the river is Fisherman's Road. This unimproved road cuts through Kenai Peninsula Borough lands. Fisherman's Road has historically been used to access the beach for the personal gillnet and the commercial gillnet fisheries. With cooperation from the KPB, annual grading of this unimproved road keeps this important access point open for the public.
Through the planning process, the state acquired several important parcels of land on the south side of the Kasilof River for inclusion into the KARSUA boundaries. The key parcels are all within Township 3 North, Range 12 West of the Seward Meridian within Sections 1 and 2 and include a 23.35 acre parcel within Lot 4; a 10.45 acre parcel within Lots 13, 14, and 15; and a 2.34 acre parcel within Lot 11. The acquisition of these parcels was a very important step in securing long-term public access and use of land on the south side of the Kasilof River.
Public access to the north side of river is via Kasilof Beach Road, then following a 60 foot public right of way to the river mouth. Several unimproved parking areas and trails are used to access the beach during the personal use fisheries. This public road traverses Tract B of U.S. Survey 83 which was donated to DMLW to be managed as a unit of the KARSUA in August of 2012. This 38.5 acre parcel was acquired in part with funds received through the in-lieu fee agreement between the Alaska District, U.S. Corps of Engineers and the Conservation Fund. The purpose of this acquisition is to permanently protect, and manage the property to ensure conservation of wetland ecosystems, and to perpetuate the anadromous fish, wildlife and habitat values, while recognizing the importance of this property for public use.
In 1981, the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) created a personal use dip net fishery around the mouth of the Kasilof River. In 1982, the BOF also created the personal use gillnet fishery in the marine waters adjacent to the mouth. These fisheries, managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), are only available to Alaskan residents and were initiated as an alternative to replace subsistence fishing. In recent years these fisheries have become increasingly popular, due to increased population and recent economic instability. These fisheries provide thousands of Alaskans an economical way to stock their freezers for the coming winter months, while enjoying the social benefits that have become an integral part of the fisheries.
All participants of the Upper Cook Inlet personal use fisheries, including the Kasilof, are required to obtain a permit (or be a member of a household with a permit). Completed permits must be returned to ADF&G following each fishing season. The total limit for the personal use fisheries is 25 salmon for the head of the household and 10 salmon for each additional household member. Management of the set gillnet fishery is the responsibility of the ADF&G Commercial Fisheries Division, and management of the dip net fishery is the responsibility of the ADF&G Sport Fish Division. Both fisheries open and close by regulation and in-season management is only required if the fish counts and biological escapement goals cannot be met or projected.
Sockeye (red) salmon is the primary harvest for both of the personal use fisheries, with a limited number of Chinook (King) salmon taken from the personal set gillnet fishery. The peak Sockeye runs typically occurs around mid-July. A large scale commercial set gillnet fishery (including DMLW, SCRO issued set net leases) are present adjacent to the shoreline beginning approximately one mile north and south of the river mouth. The area is also an extensively used harvest area for the commercial drift gillnet fleet, including the existence of a significant number (over 120) of commercially used mooring sites (buoys) beginning at the river mouth, and extending about 2 miles upstream. The Kasilof River and adjacent state uplands and beaches are also very popular for other opportunities such as boating, hunting, beachcombing, wildlife viewing, picnicking and camping.
The Kasilof River and adjacent uplands form an interdependent ecological system rich in important land, water and wildlife resources that Alaskans have grown to appreciate and depend upon. Most of the upland areas adjacent to the Lower Kasilof River are relatively low-lying, located within a designated flood zone. These areas have been affected by damaging flood events as recently as 1995 and 2002. The lowlands of the lower river extend towards the mouth, where wide and exposed mud flats are surrounded by flat marshy land. The lowlands support patches of semi-open black spruce and muskeg, as well as shrub and grass lands. These factors, combined with the highly erodible bluffs of the coastline, make development in the area somewhat difficult. Directly adjacent to the river mouth on both the north and south uplands, sandy beaches exist on the ocean forefront, then salt tolerant plant species (mainly grasses) are found in the slightly higher sandy benches (i.e.: the dunes). An extensive area of wetlands is also found on the southern side of the river mouth. The dunes including the grasses form a natural barrier and aid in protection of the adjacent wetlands and flood plain(s). These wetland areas provide natural water storage and habitat for various species and perform important water quality functions. The beach and dune areas are also heavily used by campers and fisherman during the summer season.
The grasslands and adjacent wetland areas directly adjacent to the mouth support a variety of species, particularly in the southern area of the mouth (unit KS). The area supports duck and geese spring (April - May) and fall (August - November) concentrations, seabird and shorebird nesting areas, and trumpeter swan general distributions. The wetland areas also support nearby known moose wintering and rutting concentrations and calving concentration areas. The Kasilof River and adjacent Tustemena Lake are extremely important systems which support both resident and anadromous fish populations, including habitat for Chinook (King) Salmon, Sockeye (Red) Salmon, Coho (Silver) Salmon and Pink (Humpy) Salmon during their sensitive life cycles (i.e.: spawning and rearing). The system is also home to Dolly Varden Char and Steelhead species.
The Kasilof River area is located within ADF&G Game Management Unit 15. Subunit 15C (the Lower Kenai Controlled Use Area) does not allow anyone using a motorized vehicle (except an aircraft or boat) for moose hunting, including the transportation of moose hunters, their hunting gear, and/or parts of moose from September 11-14 and September 17-20. However, this does not apply to the use of motorized vehicle on a state or borough maintained highway, the graveled portions of Oilwell, Brody and Tustumena Lake Roads, or driveways used for direct access to a primary residence or business per Alaska Hunting Regulations 2010-2011 pg. 76.

National Parks Group Applauds Initiative to Protect Our Civil War Heritage at Petersburg National Battlefield
|July 12, 2013
|Pam Goddard, Chesapeake and Virginia Program Manager, National Parks Conservation Association, P: 202.454.3365 C: 202.604.3781
National Parks Group Applauds Initiative to Protect Our Civil War Heritage at Petersburg National Battlefield
"As we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Civil War, the National Parks Conservation Association applauds U.S. Representatives Randy Forbes (VA-4) and Robert Scott (VA-3) for introducing the bipartisan Petersburg National Battlefield Boundary Modification Act (H.R. 2634). This bill will allow significant Civil War battlefield lands to be added to Petersburg National Battlefield, part of the National Park System. We urge members of Congress to support this important bill to create a lasting legacy so that 150 years from now, Americans can visit and learn from these treasured places, where our shared heritage unfolds.
"Civil War battlefields are being destroyed at the alarming rate of 30 acres each day, despite their continued value and meaning to America. Petersburg National Battlefield is under substantial development pressure, and significant sites already have been lost. A comprehensive National Park Service study of the area calls for the addition of 7,238-acres of critical battlefield to the national battlefield. The added lands at Petersburg will protect America's Civil War history, leave a lasting legacy for future generations, and enhance the park's ability to attract visitors.
"Of particular note, over the nine-and-a-half months-long siege, Petersburg saw engagement of some 16,000 U.S. Colored Troops (U.S.C.T), the largest concentration of U.S.C.T. during the Civil War.
"Protecting these lands enjoys strong support among businesses and other leaders in the communities surrounding the national park, in part because protecting these lands would enhance the area's vital tourism economy. More than 213,000 visitors to the park in 2011 spent more than $11 million in the area, supporting over 150 local jobs. Many more visitors are expected in the upcoming years as commemorating the 150th anniversary at Civil War sites across the country brings new audiences to these places, and increases understanding of their value to our communities.
"We thank Representatives Randy Forbes (VA-4) and Robert Scott (VA-3) for their leadership to protect Petersburg's future, and urge members of Congress to support the Petersburg National Battlefield Boundary Modification Act now, before these irreplaceable pieces of our American history are lost forever."

Millcreek hit-run victim's condition improves
A female bicyclist injured in a hit-and-run accident last week in Millcreek has been upgraded to serious condition, while police on Saturday continued seeking the driver's identity.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said Friday that "the victim is improving and stable," after having been listed initially as critical after Tuesday's accident.
Meanwhile, detectives were following up on unspecified leads regarding the driver.
Thursday morning, the car believed to have been involved in the accident an older model gray Acura TL sedan was found abandoned near 4600 South and Aspen Hollow Lane (3065 East). Hoyal said the vehicle had been reported stolen on Sunday in Salt Lake City.
The hit-and-run driver, and suspected auto thief, remained at large. Police could only say he was about 30, white, and with short, spiky brown hair.
The incident occurred Tuesday at 8:07 a.m. near 3700 South and 2300 East. The 43-year-old victim was riding her bike on 2300 East along the west shoulder when a southbound car drifted off the road and struck her.
The driver then sped southbound, cut through the parking lot of a Fresh Market store and nearly hit another vehicle. The driver was last seen heading north on 2300 East and turning right onto Arnett Drive.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call UPD at 801-743-5862.

Total expenditures for the first 11 months of 2010 were $10.3 billion, a 16 percent increase compared to the same periodlast year, according to preliminary statistics released.
For the third consecutive month (since September 2010) total visitor spending increased by double digits on all islands.
The growth in visitor spending for November 2010 was due to higher average daily visitor spending (+10.5%), and an 18.2 percent increase in total arrivals to 577,540 visitors. Total arrivals by air grew 17.6 per-
cent from November 2009 to 560,588 visitors. Canada (+28.2%), U.S. West (+23%) and U.S. East (+18.1%) showed double-digit growth, while arrivals from Japan rose 3.3 percent from last November. Arrivals by cruise ships increased 43.5 percent to 16,952 visitors.

The Nobel Laureate in Physics introduced his mind-boggling subject in a way that cats and dogs could understand, with a cartoon from the New Yorker.
A middle-aged urban couple are walking down the street and the woman says to the man, "It's all string theory to me."
David Gross, Director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at Santa Barbara, California proceeded to deliver a progress report on string theory that returned the favor by sounding at times very much like Greek.
This week of advanced science talks at the lab culminated in a lecture by Gross who offered a note of apology about the string theory of reality, to which he has been a major contributor
"It hasn't led to any big observational payoffs," he said.
Among other essential ideas, string theory posits that "at the bottom of it all," all matter and all forces including gravity are made up of extended strings vibrating at different frequencies in multiple dimensions of space and one dimension of time.

THURSDAY, Sept. 8 (HealthDay News) -- People are at much higher risk for developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than previously thought, according to a new study.
Canadian researchers found that one out of every four people 35 and older is likely to develop COPD, which they called "one of the most deadly, prevalent and costly chronic diseases." COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, and the overall risk for developing it surpasses that of heart failure as well as breast and prostate cancer.
"Our novel findings draw attention to the huge burden of COPD on society... and can be used to combat the disease [and] justify the continuation of smoking cessation programs," the study's authors wrote in a news release from The Lancet, which published the results in a special European Respiratory Society issue.
The researchers, from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto, used health data on 13 million people ranging in age from 35 to 80 years old to determine the lifetime risk of developing the condition. Over the course of 14 years, 579,466 cases of COPD were diagnosed.
The research found that the average 35-year-old woman is more than three times as likely to get COPD than breast cancer during her lifetime, and the average 35-year-old man is at more than three times greater risk for COPD than prostate cancer.
The study also pointed out that males, people living in rural areas or those with lower socioeconomic status have a greater risk of developing COPD over their lifetimes.
Meanwhile, a separate study in the same journal issue revealed that airway bypass, an experimental and minimally-invasive procedure, does not alleviate the symptoms of severe emphysema, which causes the destruction and hyperinflation of the lungs, making it difficult for people to breathe and perform daily activities such as eating, bathing, and walking.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The mother of two toddlers who were found wandering filthy and alone in South Los Angeles has pleaded not guilty to child abuse and other charges.
City News Service says 32-year-old Sidnicka Wilson entered the plea Friday. Other charges filed against her include possession of a controlled substance and giving false information to a police officer.
Wilson, 32, was arrested Wednesday, two days after her two sons, one about 18 months old and the other about 3 years old, were spotted near the family's apartment.
Police said the older boy was known to walk to a nearby liquor store to get bread to feed himself and his brother.
The children are now in county custody.

Sugar House streetcar to become reality with $26M grant
The second stab at stimulus funding was successful, big time, for Salt Lake City's streetcar desires.
Mayor Ralph Becker announced Wednesday that the federal government has awarded Utah's capital $26 million for the Sugar House streetcar, fast-tracking the long-planned project toward completion around Christmas 2012 or early 2013.
The U.S. Transportation Department funding will pay the bulk of the $46 million streetcar line, which will span two miles from the Central Pointe TRAX station (near 2100 South and 220 West) east to McClelland Street (1045 East) in the Sugar House business district.
"We are all enormously appreciative of the Obama administration," said Becker, who lobbied unsuccessfully for an initial round of stimulus before getting good news on round two late Tuesday. The money marks "a return of streetcars to Salt Lake."
Five stops are planned along the slow-rolling line cars will travel roughly 25 mph at State Street, 300 East, 500 East, 700 East and 900 East. Utah Transit Authority officials say a construction bid will go out immediately. Work is expected to begin in the spring.
Once the line opens, east-siders can enjoy a car-free commute. Food lovers can grab burnt ends at Pat's Barbecue, ribs at Sugar House Barbeque and sushi rolls at Tsunami without having to park. And people from across the Wasatch Front can access one of Utah's oldest and most eclectic neighborhoods exclusively by rails.
"Anytime you can get more traffic this direction and take out people using their cars is great," said Alicia Sawyer, manager of Tsunami, which sits less than two blocks from the streetcar terminus on the corner of McClelland (1045 East) and Sugarmont (2225 South).
"This entire corridor is going to be quite transformative," City Councilman Soren Simonsen said standing near the remnants of Sugar House's old train tracks. "We're kind of going back to the future."
Simonsen and Becker stood at the same spot three years ago, when the first-term mayor pledged to fast-track the streetcar from 25 years to the early years of his administration. Becker has had multiple visits with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and other Obama officials about the project. On Wednesday, he and Simonsen lauded Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, and Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, for their influence in securing the money.
"It's a feeder system now that will connect this whole area," said Ralph Jackson, UTA's acting chief capital development officer. He notes an environmental study already has been submitted to and reviewed by federal officials. And since UTA workers soon will be finished with the West Valley and Mid-Jordan TRAX lines, Jackson said, the equipment will be available to launch Sugar House "fairly quickly."
"It's just a case of moving it and using it all here," he said. "It's not like starting from scratch."
Plans to resurrect a streetcar in Sugar House have been under way for a decade. The collaboration was made simpler after UTA acquired the right of way for the corridor, which follows half-century-old tracks. Crossing busy streets such as State and 700 East may be done with traffic lights or crossing arms, officials say, while less-busy intersections may become four-way stops.
Becker stressed streetcars have become a boon for business and property values nationwide a sentiment reiterated by Council Chairman J.T. Martin.
"You're going to see Sugar House come back," Martin said, "like it was in its glory days."
Scoring the federal dollars for Sugar House "couldn't hurt" the city's chances to get more grant funding for downtown streetcars, according to David Everitt, Becker's chief of staff. And, when business owners and the development community see the boost in consumer traffic and property values, "that will accelerate interest in doing it downtown."
Federal cash to get streetcar rolling
More than half the Sugar House streetcar's $46 million price tag was erased Wednesday with the announcement that Salt Lake City snagged $26 million in federal stimulus. Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake each have pledged $2.5 million toward the project, further reducing the cost. Salt Lake City officials, whose initial $35 million stimulus request was denied in February, had hoped for $31 million under round two of the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER II grant. The balance for the new streetcar, projected for a possible December 2012 completion, is about $15 million. Officials are optimistic about raising the rest of the funding.

I say "thank you" countless times during the day. Even if someone is "just doing their job" I like to let them know I appreciate it. This is such a habit now that I don't even think about it. I look for something to appreciate and try to find the positive "spin".
Practicing gratitude is one of the most important habits we can form. When the dark clouds of worry, despair, anger, depression and helplessness hang over our heads, being able to express gratitude for something or someone will boost our attitudes. It will enhance a good mood too!!
It is wonderful to have people who are supportive and encouraging. Make a commitment to express your gratitude to those who are supportive. Say "thank you." Make a healthy meal and share it with those who are encouraging you. And pass the encouragement along. Share favorite recipes and workout dvds with those who are supporting you and need your support as well.
Practice an attitude of gratitude daily.

Photo caption: Using his regular speedlight teamed with his orbis ring flash off-axis (to one side of the camera),
pro photographer Glynn Lavender got this great photo with soft shadows and flattering light.
Australia-based photographer Glynn Lavender is well known both in Australia and the USA for his 30-year involvement in the photo industry and brings his passion to every event he attends. He's shot everything from Weddings to Landscapes and loves the challenge of being able to produce fantastic images in any location.
He's also is the owner of Creative Photo Workshops, one of Australia's most dynamic photographer training companies which runs events in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We caught up with him over Christmas and talked to him about his photo career – and his orbis® Ringflash.
Q: How long have you been a photographer?
I have been in the photography industry since 1980. I got my first camera in 1969 when I was 5.
Q: Are you a professional or amateur photographer? What was your breakthrough, either when you knew you were in love with photography or when you became pro?
I am a full time professional, but my role these days is as a teacher of photography rather than as a pro shooter, running my training company Creative Photo Workshops.
My breakthrough didn't come, it more realistically grew over a long period of time. From the early 80's, when I worked behind the counter in Australia's (then) largest camera store, I had dreams of shooting. I had a rather a stop/start beginning to my professional photography career where I stumbled along! It took a few years running other photo businesses to build up my skills as a businessperson rather than as a photographer.
I took the plunge into shooting once I felt I had what it takes to run a business, not just to be a photographer. Some of the best professional photographers go bankrupt because of lack of business skills, whereas a competent shooter with good business understanding can often make it successfully.
Q: Tell us a bit about the setup for your photoshoot(s) – lighting, speedlights, equipment, post-processing.
The images included here show the use of the orbis Ringflash in both its traditional position (lens pointing through it) and hand-held off-axis. I like to mix it up.
The settings are whatever the settings need to be to get the shot in the particular circumstances and environmental conditions. No two scenarios are the same. There are no magic numbers in photography.
I used my Canon 5D Mk II with the new Tamron 90mm f2.8 VC USD Macro Lens. My Canon 580EXII speedlight (with my orbis Ringflash of course!) was triggered with Pocket Wizard Plus III's. All shots were post processed using Nik Software's Silver FX Pro2 and Color FX4.
Q: How did your orbis® Ringflash help?
The orbis Ringflash has many strong points. Firstly it's lightweight, so it's always in the bag 'just in case'. Secondly the look achieved by shooting through the ring flash adapter it gives not only gorgeous light but also an ethereal quality that is not easy to create on location and requires far too much time in post to produce. Getting it straight out of the camera is always my preference.
Using the orbis hand-held, off-axis, allows you to make minute adjustments quickly to get the light 'just right', something that is much more cumbersome to do using traditional soft boxes anchored to a stand.
Q: The orbis® Ringflash is designed to give photographers an edge. It's very challenging to make a living as a professional photographer, what are your tips for staying competitive in the photography industry?
1: Assume you've got the job when interviewing.
2: Never show your images until they ask (they must like your work or they wouldn't have called you in).
3: Most people book the photographer not the photos – be upbeat and positive and make them want to work with you.
4: Charge like you mean it! Every photography job you undersell is one less meal for your kids, one more bill you can't pay and one nice holiday you won't have.
5: You are not competing with anyone else. There is only one you. How can they buy that cheaper down the street?
Q: Your photos have a particular quality to them, how would you describe your personal style?
'In your face' would have to be the best description of my style. I like impact in my pics, I want that which is most important to be strong in the picture.
Q: Are you a self-taught photographer, did you go to college or university to study photography, or did you have a mentor?
I am a self-taught photographer, however I HIGHLY recommend (as does my bank manager) that people attend photography workshops to learn
Q: Is there something you always ask to yourself/think just before you press the shutter button?
Am I telling the story as simply as possible? What is in the picture that would be better left out? If it doesn't add to the story, get rid of it.
Q: What is one last impression you want to leave in your photos?
My watermark….. I want people to connect. To be drawn to the face. To look into the eyes and think about the subject, not the photography. The photography is merely a means to an end. The end should be 'look at me, I exist'
Q: Do you have any tips for those looking for advice from recognized, successful professional photographers?
The only way to succeed is to do it. Get out there and practice. Think about your shots. Spend 5 minutes setting up a photo and 1 minute shooting it, not the other way around. Remember your camera only has 'x' amount of shots in it before the shutter gives up the ghost so why fire off frames hoping to get good pics?
If you want to work as a professional photographer then take a good hard look at yourself. What is it about YOU, not your photos, that would make someone book you? Build on that!
Q: Where can we hear more from you or see more of your work?
My website is www.creativephotoworkshops.com.au
I run photography workshops in the USA and Australia and hope to make it to England soon.
I post regularly on my Facebook page (Creative Photo Workshops) all things interesting in photography I find on the net as well as my own images from photo workshops.

Strolling through the streets of Trondheim will give you a unique experience. Remember to put aside time to visit Bakklandet.
Arriving at Bakklandet is like making a journey through time. The charming and picturesque wooden houses along the banks of the river Nidelven have been carefully preserved. Why not take a break and visit some of the charming cafés or restaurants along the cobbled streets of Bakklandet? At Bakklandet you may also stop by Bakklandet Skydsstation – the café awarded «Most Charming Café in Scandinavia» in 2012 by National Geographic's Andrew Evans.
Find peace and tranquillity among the quaint buildings and colorful flowers at Bakklandet.There are a number of small independent art galleries at Bakklandet. Maybe you will find the perfect gift to bring home in one of the area's arts and crafts-boutiques?
While at Bakklandet, make sure to try out «Trampe» - the bike lift which will take you and your bike almost up to the Kristiansten Fortress.
The first settlements at Bakklandet appeared early in the 17th century. The possibilities for people living on the Bakklandet side of the river increased considerably after the construction of the Old Town Bridge in 1681. The city centre of Trondheim itself had outgrown itself and an expansion eastwards, to Bakklandet, was necessary. The high number of fires in this area also contributed to the establishment of Trondheim's fire brigade in 1689.
Bakklandet was traditionally a residential neighbourhood where local fishermen, craftsmen and workers would live. The houses were small and the conditions were poor.
Today, Bakklandet has grown into one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Trondheim.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Retired educator Nana Hilsenbeck has had it with the delivery service, UPS.
Hilsenbeck is in a fight with the giant shipper since August over a package that may be somewhere in the county landfill.
"A lot of frustration," she said. "It was a birthday present so I did re-order but did not asked them to bring it here."
She ordered an item from Target and UPS delivered it to her home.
Since no one was there the driver placed it in a trash can and left a note in the door explaining where it was located.
"Which ever trash can I don't know this is where they always are," she said.
Hilsenbeck was in Port Orange and was gone for weeks; her stay away from home turned into months.
On the way home her husband experienced a heart attack and was hospitalized in Ormond Beach after triple bypass surgery.
A neighbor was asked to check on something and discovered the UPS sign in the door. Hilsenbeck reflects and wonders if putting the package in the trash was the best decision.
"Why didn't he take it to the post office?" she asked.
Apparently while the package was hidden in a trash can the county picked up the trash and dumped it.
Hilsenbeck reached out to UPS and Target for reimbursement
"They're very nice but neither one is willing to do anything," she said.
Hilsenbeck said how she's being treated, as if she did something wrong, is wrong. The loss is about $200, but it is a loss.
"If a company wants to be responsible they have to be responsible to their customers," she said. "My husband ran a company for 30 years and if someone was upset he made it right.
UPS Laurie Mallis said a claim has been approved and Target will be reimbursed.
"Target is the shipper and our claims are issued to the shipper," said Mallis. "The customer needs to contact target for further assistance."
Mallis said holiday shippers can protect their package two ways:
- Require a signature upon receipt
- Sign up for UPS my choice -- it gives you control over how your package is delivered.
A spokesperson at Target said it is looking into the case.
Since this story aired, UPS has issued a goodwill payment in the amount of $200 to Hilsenbeck.

This year's hot term in economic development jargon is the "single sales factor."
Some of the current buzz in economic development circles is that the single sales factor is the first concern of businesses considering locating in New Mexico.
If we don't have it, the rumor goes, they won't look further. (They used to say that about workers' comp, but that issue is off the endangered species list for the moment.)
The single sales factor is at the top of the wish list Economic Development Department Secretary Jon Barela is calling the New Century Jobs Agenda, a package of mostly legislative proposals that EDD is hoping will boost our state's persistently lagging private sector economy.
If New Mexico is serious this year about economic development, our legislators have to pay attention to the fact that business wants the single sales factor, and 25 other states have it.
That's the nature of the highly competitive game of economic development these days.
Dick Minzner, former secretary of the Taxation and Revenue Department, framed the issue in a recent briefing paper, noting that New Mexico receives $300 million to $400 million per year in corporate income taxes and most of those taxes are paid by large multistate or multinational corporations with locations in New Mexico.

I think the BFM2000 was purposely drawn up in such a way as to leave room for Pewites and Chairists. To narrow the parameters of cooperation in our convention to only followers of Pewism is to go beyond your authority as a SBC messenger.

Next you're going to say that if you were baptized in a church that had theatre seating you can't be an IMB missionary.

Love in Christ,

Jeff

As you brothers know, I am leading the fight in the SBC against the use of theater style seating in our churches. With all of the hub-bub over Dr. Caner and the nomination of Johnny Hunt this issue has been overlooked. But nevertheless I shall press on. Please consider the following:

Whereas, our Baptist forefathers, both of the Sandy Creek and Charleston traditions, upheld the use of pews in the church, and

Whereas, Noah and his family sat upon benches hewn from wood in the ark, and

Whereas, the pew generates a sense of community and unity in the church, and

Whereas, the pew by its uncomfortable nature lends itself to the resistance of slumber, and

Whereas, the theater style seat represents a heretical gnostic influence upon the church, and,

Whereas, Leonardo Davinci painted Jesus and His disciples seated upon wooden benches in the "Last Supper" thus conveying the secret message that all true churches use pews, and

Whereas, theater style seating represents the decadence and wordliness of Hollywood, and

Whereas, if pews were good enough for Paul they ought to be good enough for us, let it be resolved,

That this convention call upon all of our churches to burn all existing theater style seating in our churches, and

Let it be resolved that we publicly repent of our pewistic tendencies, and

Let it be resolved that any church that continues in pewism be removed for the fellowship of this convention.jbuchananhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1145389486140605062006-04-18T15:44:00.000-04:002006-04-18T15:44:00.000-04:00Chris, I believe that Al Mohler is going to presen...Chris, I believe that Al Mohler is going to present exactly what you are asking for at T4G.

I am currently working on "essential christology for gospel proclamation." Basically, it is a statement of what one has to believe about Christ to grasp the gospel. I have been unable to locate any resources that deal specifically with this topic. Any ideas would be great. I do not want to recreate the wheel if I don't have to do so.

Good thoughts (as are the others given previously).

Art:

Thanks for linking to your blog. I was trying to figure out how to do that myself. You have put up some good stuff there. Your observations about anticipated attendance are interesting. I agree with you. Many who do not normally attend these meetings will be there.

Chris:

Since you know Dr. Rainer, why don't you float your idea by him? I would be delighted to hear his thoughts on the issue. His last BP article on this was spot on. Thanks.Tomhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1145374139259835062006-04-18T11:28:00.000-04:002006-04-18T11:28:00.000-04:00Tom,The resolution must be "properly submitted" wi...Tom,

The resolution must be "properly submitted" within the time frame of April 15 to 15 days prior to the convention to be considered. Until 2003, messengers could submit resolutions from the floor, but now they must go to the committee first. The motion to bring it to the floor must come during the report from the Committee on Resolutions.

If you would forgive the shameless self promotion, I am winding up a two week long "Primer" on the convention for Young SBCers who may be attending the first time. Anyone interested can find it at 12 Witnesses.

I think the fact that the convention housing has sold out and had to be restructured is indication that the "normal crowd" will not be in attendance. Rather, I think the Convention will be full of messengers who are ready to take some action in focusing the SBC on several vital issues.

In light of this, I think it is considerably more likely that a 2/3 vote is possible to get your resolution to the floor, should it not be recommended by the committee.art rogershttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1145373722258203402006-04-18T11:22:00.000-04:002006-04-18T11:22:00.000-04:00Tom,As a former Garret Fellow and research assista...Tom,
As a former Garret Fellow and research assistant for Thom Rainer, I think you should invite him to address this issue in Baptist Press. I know that he is busy, but he has made numerous references to this topic in one way or another (either in print or class lecture). His approach to analyzing current trends in churches is often to demonstrate weaknesses/strengths through statistical analysis in light of Scriptural teaching. He has said on numerous occasions that membership numbers in our convention are so inflated that they mean nothing and cannot be used to study our churches. He often has to resort to looking at actual attendance numbers rather than membership.
 Given his announcement that Lifeway would begin to do more statistical analysis of our churches (Lifeway Research), he would probably be very interested in your resolution and may even become a champion of it. My suggestion in no way implies that I do not think you are capable of addressing the issue accurately and persuasively. I just recognize that Dr. Rainer has the ear of many in the convention. Despite differences on one or two points of the doctrines of grace I think he would be agree with your efforts here.
 Thanks again for your service to your church and your brothers in Christ through this blog.

Thanks for that. If it makes it to the floor, I will vote in favor. Our church is currently in the process of formulating a plan to deal with the discrepancies in our membership roll. Attention to the matter is way past due.

I think that your resolution is a good and that we must deal with this issue as a convention. May I suggest that you or perhaps Dr. Nettles write an article about the resolution and submit it to Baptist Press. I tend to be pessimistic by nature, so I'm not sure that the resolution has much chance of passing and I am certain that it will not garner a 2/3 vote for consideration if the Resolutions Committee does not present it. However, if the mere presentation of this resolution could begin an honest dialogue about our unregenerate denomination I think that it will be worth it. Having some coverage in Baptist Press will perhaps spark some interested and may even raise support. May I also suggest that we do three additional things:

1.) Introduce similar resolutions at every state convention meeting this fall.
2.) Introduce similar resolutions at as many associational annual meetings as possible.
3.) Put together some type of simultaneous emphasis that would teach our local churches and introduce them to the concept of church discipline. May be a "Making Membership Count" simulcast with Dr's Dever, Mohler, and Nettles.

I think that educating the church about discipline is the most importnat step that we can take. All attempts to deal with unregenrate church members will fail unless we help our church to see the Biblical teachings concerning membership and discipline.

Just a few thoughts.jbuchananhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1145360597397177662006-04-18T07:43:00.000-04:002006-04-18T07:43:00.000-04:00Perry:Press on, brother. The Lord honors those who...Perry:
Press on, brother. The Lord honors those who honor Him. I have prayed for you this morning.

Art:
Thanks for pointing this out. You are correct. SBC Bylaw 20 says, "No person may submit more than three resolutions per year. The Committee on Resolutions shall prepare and submit to each annual meeting of the Convention only such resolutions the Committee recommends for adoption. Such resolutions may be based upon proposals received by the Committee or may originate with the Committee. Only resolutions recommended by the Committee may be considered by the Convention, except the Convention may, by a 2/3 vote, consider any other resolution properly submitted to the Committee." I suppose that such a resolution would need to be brought from the floor of the convention during a regular business session.Tomhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1145356784213261842006-04-18T06:39:00.000-04:002006-04-18T06:39:00.000-04:00Dr. Tom:Many thanks for sending it in.

I want to thank you for your example and for this resolution. I have spent the past 9 months living the consequences of standing on the conviction that some circumstances require the obedience of Church discipline even if the "timing" isn't right. I do not want to imply that your resolution vindicates the decisions that I have made as a pastor. You do not know me or the circumstances that I am referring to. However, I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for attempting to demonstrate through this resolution the seriousness of our failure to follow Christ's teaching on discipline. It is nothing less than sin. The most horrifying words I have ever heard as a pastor were, "I know that it is in the Bible BUT I don't believe…." Thank you again for your courage and your faithfulness.
