Space Camp

GeoTagged, [N34.71349, E86.65541]

Jamie and I are at Space Camp this week with all the other 5th graders from Harding Academy. Here are a few facts for your consideration.

To orbit the earth you have to be traveling at 17,500 mph.

It takes 3-4 days for a spaceship to get to the moon.

Next year all of the Space Shuttles retire.

The cameras used to take the moon landing photos were specially modified Hasselblads.

Its Matching Day

Josie went to work with me one day last week and we were both wearing Blue Rain jackets. I commented to Josie that our coats were the same color. She looked at me with a silly grin and swung her arm in front of her and said "Oh Boy it's matching day." The tone of her comment was more along the lines of "Oh Great I look like a freak show too!" I made her pose for a photo anyway.

Basketball and Josie Moment

I don't often have photos of me but I got this one tonight at the Bison games. My friend Chris Dean, a Democrat Gazette photographer, shot this photo as I was helping Jalen with his camera. Jalen was pushing the power button instead of the shutter button and I was showing him which button to push. Jalen and Jamie both went with me and they both took photos. The photo bug seems to come and go with them so I don't know yet if there will be another Montgomery Photographer. By the way, the Bisons and Lady Bisons both won their games against Ouachita Baptist University.



When I got home, Josie was on the couch under a blanket and she was showing me her Speech papers from Friday. She has been working on V sounds with Mrs Terri and she had a page with different V words and I would point to the picture and she would practice saying the word. I pointed to a vase and she said said I don't remember what that is called. I gave her a hint of Something you put flowers in and she looked at me with the strangest look and said Pot.

Desk Top Photos

I came in to work this morning after giving my Photography Final Exam and this photo was on my desktop. My student Noah took this with his new Leica the other day while we were working on a secret project. He just scanned the film last night and left this as a surprise for me to find. This is the first time I have had a guest desktop photo artist and I really like the photo.

The retreat was over except for eating Lunch so I was chilling in the lodge reading the most recent edition of American Photo.Photo by Jackson Montgomery
