The photos on this Blog were taken as part of a summer independent study class at North Idaho College. The project was to photograph events from May through August, 2010, for the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe. Special thanks to Jerome Pollos, my instructor, Marc Stewart, Public Relations Director for the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe, and Phil Corlis of NIC for setting up this class and handling all the administrative stuff. I am grateful for the opportunity these three folks and the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe made possible for me this summer!

The entries below act as a learning journal and contain my feedback to my instructor, Jerome, on my various assignments and tasks throughout the entire course. His and other comments can be found in the comments section below each post. Everything is unedited and completely intact the way it was on the last day of class, July 28th, 2010, except for the Feast of Assumption section which I was asked to shoot for the Coeur d'Alene Tribe after my class was over. This section was added afterwords to completely represent my summer photography efforts.

PLEASE NOTE: Some photo sets unrelated to the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe have been included and were used as instructional tools along the way. These were situations where I went along with Jerome as he shot photos for the Coeur d'Alene Press newspaper.

The first section below is my final portfolio. Everything below that is arranged from newest to oldest, so everything is in reverse order by date.

Please feel free to take a look and leave me some comments. I would love to hear from you!

Julyamsh - Friday Grand Entry and Subsequent Dancing

This will be short and quick since I am in a hurry. The security guys took me right up through the middle of the Grand Entry. This was a bit overwhelming so I took way, way, way too many photos. I could not change lenses because we had to keep moving and were not allow to kneel down so we could quickly get out of the way. I should have another chance at this today (Saturday). My 17-50mm was too short for this and my 70-200mm was often too long. Today I will try my 18-200mm lens for the Grand Entry but it has a variable max aperture so that will be tricky unless I leave it on f/6.3 or higher. Here are way too many photos since I do not have time to edit any farther.
