Here is a photo of a fire truck from San Francisco.  Engine 35 was on its way to an incident the day we visited San Francisco a while back.

Last week I had a student from Dos Palos High School find me on flickr and ask me if he could have copies of all my photos from the Dos Palos High School fire that took place last December that wiped out all of the FFA, Wood Shop, Auto, and the Cisco Programs.  At first I thought he might have wanted the photos for some other purpose until I asked around and realized that he actually needs the photos for his photography class.  I was glad to help out the cause and made him a copy of a DVD with all of the photos from the fire as well as all the photos from the construction to rebuild the new section that will temporarily house the programs until the section that burned down is rebuilt. 

It was funny because I also got a request from our District Secretary to the Superintendent to bring her a copy of all the photos I had from the fire as well as the construction.  I thought wow people are going to start seeing more of my work so I knew I needed to clean up the Watermark and make sure everyone sees how to get to my website.  I mean, I really love all the views I am getting and as of today I have about 8 subscribers via feedBurner but its funny to see how the numbers go up and then down.  Trying to find content and keep it fresh is sometimes hard but I know I can do it.

I would love to get some help on the page by opening up to some Guest Bloggers.  If you have a story that pertains to photography and would like to share it with us please email it to me by using the Comment Form  or send me an email.  I will review the story and post it.  If you have some really good information I will gladly post it and also create a user account for you with Contributor rights so that you can be a user with access to share all your information with others.  If you have a site and want to share it with us then please send me your info and I will add a link to it in the post. 

I want to work with other photographers and people in the Digital Design field so that we can all build a community that works together.

That’s all for today!

Last November, a fire erupted from within the Dos Palos High School burning down the Auto Shop, the Future Farmers of America classrooms, along with the Wood shop.  Because of the asbestos in the room and the smoke, they also declared the Cisco Network Lab unusable.  They destroyed everything. 

They are working to rebuild the classrooms but not fast enough.  So the school has decided to build or actually bring in pre-fabricated classrooms in another designated area where the classes can continue until the final phase of construction process is complete.  Below you will see a photo of the crane dropping in some of the buildings. 

I plan to keep you posted on the different phases of the construction process but we will see how long it takes to get these classrooms ready.  I know they will not be ready by the time school starts.

Strange thing happened at work today!  The Dos Palos High School caught on fire.  Not sure what is the cause yet but it is still being put out right now as I type.  I was in the office and my boss ran out the back door and we noticed the students were all out there evacuating.  We noticed the big smoke cloud and saw that the smoke was actually blowing across the field where the students were.  Finally the students moved over to the other side of the school to avoid the smoke.  The firefighters showed up and began putting out the fire.  I am not sure if anyone got hurt yet but I will keep you posted.
