Happy New Year!

01.01.08
I know this blog doesn't look any different than my previous photography blog but I just wanted a separate one for this upcoming season.

On thursday Jan 3rd I will be headed to Kona Hawaii to participate in an intensive 3 month photography course. (For more information click here.)

This school is run through YWAM (Youth with a Mission) which is an interdenominational Christian missions organization that was started in the 60's with the desire to see young people sent to the nations as missionaries. You might have heard about YWAM in the news recently with the shooting in Colorado, I was at that base in 2004 doing a school of worship, I did not know anyone involved. Here is an article that talks about the shooting and the organization.

I've been looking into this school ever since I started with YWAM in 2003. They only accept 16 people a year. Even though tomorrow will be my last day here in the continental US it still doesn't quite feel like a reality.

Along with updating this blog (how frequent I don't know, that will be based on how much free time I have) I will be sending out monthly e-mail updates. If you'd like to get those you can send me an e-mail to ywamjim@yahoo.com with "subscribe" in the title.

I've also committed to doing one self portrait a day for 2008 (it's a flickr thing) you can follow that here.

Here's to an awesome 2008.

02.14.08 - Happy Valentines Day


or singles awareness day as some would like to call it...

"Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."
Proverbs 4:23

Today is the half way point for our school... it's been six weeks and we've got six weeks to go.

I've got a cold... I shouldn't have a cold in hawaii.

This week we're learning about photo journalism from Louis Deluca who is the senior staff photographer at the Dallas Morning News.

We've got two assignments one to do an enviromental portrait and also to do a photo story. I need to get my rear in gear. Cause so far I've got nothing.

Adios,
Jim Baker
