Big Sky

This picture I made of "Big Arizona Sky" ;), but I am thinking this is the kind of evening sky that probably awaits us in Montana!!!
Just 3 more days.

Geography 101

I love looking at maps, and I found this one online that I wanted to share.  This map is very simple, but helped me visualize how the area of Ft. Belknap Indian Reservation is laid out.

Also, here is a link about Ft. Belknap:
Happy Wednesday!

Montana Here We Come!

This picture is from a OneSight (then Gift of Sight) Clinic to Tuba City, Arizona several years ago. The photograph was taken of recipients patiently waiting outside the vision van.  Part of the word "Foundation" is visible on the van's side panel which is part of the Luxottica Group Foundation.   Fundraising and donating to OneSight has a huge impact on those waiting for us to make a difference!  
  
It won't be long until the team has similar pictures and will be posting stories from the OneSight Regional Ft. Belknap, Montana Clinic.  
  

Montana Loves Glasses!

The OneSight Regional Clinic to Montana begins in eight days.  Lots of anticipation and excitement and planning has been building for months surrounding this wonderful opportunity to give the gift of sight.  
However, as a photographer, it's the quiet moments that I always remember when I am at a clinic~even though it is an extremely energetic environment.  For example, when a child proudly chooses their favorite frames and has that awesome look on his/her face, or a doctor gently smiles reassuringly at one of his/her patients...those moments remind me of how powerful GIVING is.  
The transformation in the recipient is so impactful, but just as much so for the GIVER.  
I can't wait to come together with wonderful people who will be making a difference in the lives of those I am about to meet.  8 days and counting!!!
