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 - Paulette Honors Mothers/Women and Giveaway

These were all taken with my 28-75mm lens.  I probably should not have bothered posting these because they were taken as a favor for Paulette.  At this point I am dead from the heat and sun all day long, I have not eaten anything, I cannot see clearly and I cannot hold the camera steady anymore.  But I did the best I could and decided if I put in the effort to take these damn things, I'm damn well gonna post 'em somewhere!

By the way, this is the first time I have witnessed a Coeur d'Alene giveaway which is a very important tradition.  I really did not know what to expect and found it very interesting!  Us white bastards could learn a thing or two from this!

Julyamsh tip:  The best time to be at Julyamsh is after dark.  All the wasichus (white folks) are gone and the party really gets going.  The sun, heat and crowds are gone and these folks are just getting started.

    WOW, Andreas, good work well done. I believe in your tip to celebrate a POWOW after dark, poor full dressed Natives.
