“The oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States has been acknowledged by historians to be our home for more than 1,000 years. They speculate about where we came from, but we already know the answer: We have been here since time immemorial.”

Just under two months ago, I purchased my first “real” camera… a Canon Rebel T2i. Oh, how I love this camera! I have always been passionate about photography and finally decided to make the move and invest in something more than a “point and shoot” auto-focus pocket-style camera.

It was a cool, overcast day, but everyone’s spirits soared! After Occupy / (un)Occupy Albuquerque’s problems with Yale Park on the UNM campus, it was such a relief for all to be able to hold the 11.11.11 event without any incidences and without any police. It was a joyous day as the information booth was brought out, pamphlets and other reading material laid out, and the kitchen set back up. Once again, our camp banners were hung proudly between two trees. (more…)
