Last school year I organized a project with an elementary teacher in Orem to teach his kids photography. He had some money to buy his kids point-and-shoot cameras and they spent several months photographing their recess time in the playground. Some kids even took their cameras home. It was an absolute blast. I showed up every other week and talked photography to 10-year-olds. They were really into the whole project and were learning artistic and storytelling principles and applying it in their photos and in other areas of their learning. We also set up a show at the Orem Library and displayed their work for a month. I got 2 other Orem schools on board and funded for the 2009-2010 school year. If anyone is interested in being a guest lecturer please contact me at mario@marioruiz.com. Check out the link below:

- The Poynter story has an animation that compares the altered photo he entered in a Bay area contest and the one he sent to the AP. http://www.poynter.org/latest- news/mediawire/161983/sacramen to-bee-fires-bryan-patrick-for -photo-manipulation/ His manipulations seem so minor, it begs the question, why do it at all? I guess he did win an award with the fire photo but I wonder how much the slightly bigger flames impacted the judges decision?
— Jud Burkett on Ethics 101 - They just fired him. The found two other manipulated photos, one that made the paper and one that was altered for a contest.
— Trent Nelson on Ethics 101 - I agree Trent, this is very sad. We have to have truth and accuracy on our side. If we don’t, we have nothing.
— scott winterton on Ethics 101 - Nice frames, Brian
— Trent Nelson on Wide Angle Weber - Thanks Trent for taking the time to help everybody out!
— Nathan Sweet on Utah Gymnastics Photo Info - This is a sad story, seeing such a talented photographer go down in flames. So far he’s suspended, but really, do you come back from this? Hopefully there aren’t more fakes in his files to be uncovered.
— Trent Nelson on Ethics 101 - Yes, same one that was in my other photo as well. And Grayson’s.
— Erik Daenitz on Day & Night - Was there an earthquake?
— Chris Detrick on Day & Night - Bawse
