The Past, the Present and the Future

Before I sat down to create this lensography, I took a look at my list of lenses. They are as varied as the students in my classroom. Can one be passionate about so many different things? I say yes. My passion is writing, but I am first and foremost a teacher, and in the heart of every teacher lurks a student. My quest for knowledge has me delving into the past, studying the present, and looking to the future. I have an innate need to share that knowledge, be it in the classroom, on the internet, or before a room full of my peers.

I am a teacher

Important!

The past is full of fascinating people like Benjamin Franklin and Annie Oakley, and there are slices in time that molded our society into what it is today. Where we came from is every bit as important as where we are going.

We surround ourselves with the things we love, plant flowers around our homes, and glean pleasure from a well-written novel.
Life is Good.

Amazon.com Review
Few people, writes Scott Weidensaul, are apathetic toward raptors. Once you've seen a hawk or a falcon or an eagle in action, you're likely to take an interest in how these great birds of prey make their homes in the world. The Weidensaul's encyclopedic guidebook to the world's principal raptor species, well illustrated with photographs, maps, and charts and full of detailed information, is an ideal companion.

Important!

We live in a beautiful world, but I see the mistakes we've made. Much of the water around us is polluted, we bury our trash, and send smoke and fumes fluttering through the atmosphere. How long can we turn a blind-eye and pretend the problems don't exist?
