After the photo-fun-shoot with Cesar, I drove a van around the airport for the last time. These structures have always fascinated me.

In Memoriam
12/31/12
In memory of our jobs…
Of all of the many types of equipment we operated over the years, inside and outside, the small propane powered forks were my favorite vehicles to drive.
The massive Taylor had amazing torque and power, but these little babies were quick and agile — feeling more like being one with the machine!
In these photos that I’m in, I had 10 seconds to click the shutter and run into the photo. Running to and jumping on the Taylor was a hoot.
I’m too somber when I shoot myself. Sorry.

Clean-out time
Will this be my last locker?
That’s Herb Pharm turmeric on the top shelf,
by the way.

Will this be my last time clock?
I had to take a self-portrait, punching out for the last time —
at least at this time clock.

“This is the end” –
but thankfully not for them.
The passenger side is still Delta employed.
The beat goes on.

Retirees,
retiring, furlowing, transfering,
two sons
and my mom : )
When Delta told us our jobs were being outsourced, they offered the option of transferring to open positions in the lower 48, which is where Don B. (on the forklift here) elected to go.
Here he’s forking his own goods.

Don R. guides Don B.:
“A little bit to the right.”
I just wrote this on Facebook:
Today is MY LAST DAY working for NWA (Delta) Airlines. I started in January of 1979, and have worked at Anchorage International since 1980.
Delta decided to outsource our jobs to $10-an-hour people (minimum wage is $7.75 in Alaska). It kind of hurts, but I have important things to do that I can now fully concentrate on (at least for now).
Emotional day. This will be a big change.
My main goals are to help get the revival going and make it as a photographer (not an easy task these days, but especially if ‘ONE’ happens I have a good shot at it). I do plan on staying in Anchorage.
I’ll be able to seek God more easily, and perhaps write my first book, with the “Let Us Be ONE” prophecy as the theme:
“Let Us Be ONE” (A Prophecy — 2001-02, 2008)
And I’d like to now finally do some YouTube teaching videos to help get this thing rolling. It’s way out of my comfort zone, but I have no choice. Maybe more people will listen to my prophecy than read it, for example. And I would like to cover some important topics like lust, who goes to heaven, praying in tongues to be free.
And speaking of FREEDOM, I plan on being more diligent in praying forgiving prayers as often as necessary.
THANKS for all of your prayers, encouragement and INTERACTIONS!!! I can really use your prayers. There is so much to do. I’ll need all of my cylinders firing. I’m even joining a health club.
And as always, I’m open to suggestions.
I’ll probably ball like crazy as I drive away this morning — to start a new day : )
May God bless you all as you do what you believe you should to help bring life into this increasingly barren land.
I feel like the timing is perfect for this to happen. it’s kind of the perfect storm in a good way. And I actually had a dream about a decade ago which I told a prophetic friend, who also has tried to get ‘ONE’ happening, and helped inspire me many years ago. He felt God was telling me to retire at the age I now am, to then make it as a photographer. I had forgotten all about that, but now it makes sense. But there is so much work to do if I’m going to be able to make it doing part of what I love.
I’ll probably ball like crazy as I drive away this morning —
to start a new day : )
Power to the peaceful!
May ‘ONE’ soon happen — Jesus’ heart-cry for us in John 17 — as we abide in Him, finally ‘ONE’ with each other — “that the world will know” — and I’ll be a happy camper.
I wish I had a camper, by the way. Maybe someday.

In front of the mighty Taylor —
that we’ve had the privilege to drive for decades
(largest forklift at Anchorage International)
We’re not sure what will happen to it, now.
Don’s Last Day
12/27/12
Don R. drives out of air freight for the last time
Sad day for both of us…
He and I have worked together since 1980
We’ve been through a lot, together
Thanks for all of your help!
Bless you, Don!!!

It’s been good to work with you!
My photos of the group in our 4-day Mountain Light Autumn in Wine Country workshop, taught by Elizabeth Carmel and Jerry Dodrill, 11/29-12/2, 2012 — Day 2.
I had a wonderful time, despite the extreme weather. Some said it was the worst storm in 30 years — about 10 inches of rain in 3 days!
NOTE: I don’t have any photos of the group from day one. It was raining too hard. I should have taken a photo of Allyn’s tripod umbrella holder, though.

And Elizabeth Carmel demonstrates…

I concluded that the chairs at our conference room at Mount View Hotel (in Calistoga) were the perfect ergonomic design for posture and comfort in a straight back, wood chair. The large gap at the bottom of the back allowed the glutes to sit back so the lumbar support fit perfectly. The tilt also seems to be ideal. So I just had to photograph it. This is my new standard reference….
