My Dad the Teacher-BluDomain
BluDomain was having a contest for their new interface 29 that just came out. One of the contests included taking a picture of a teacher. At the age of 50 my father became a history teacher. It was a life long dream. He graduated and started teaching 6th grade Social Studies in a rough part of town. He is now also pursuing his Masters. We are so proud of him and the lengths he has gone to improve education in his little corner of the world. I hope his students realize what they have in him.
Oh, by the way…I won the contest! Out of 820 submissions, mine made it. I think it’s because I had such an amazing subject though!
Here are a few of the pictures that I submitted.
Every morning at 6 am, he goes to school and raises the flag. He has so much respect for our history. We reenacted this…6 am was a little too early for me!

Awww I see a lot of you in your dad! I should tell my dad about him. He is such a history buff and we kept telling him to go be a history teacher in his later years.

congrats on your win! I happened to stumble upon you guys’ site from Blu’s recently launched clients. I’m just launching my Blu site in the next week or so…I’ve been working hard on it! I couldn’t help but notice you guys are in Atlanta. I, too, am in Atlanta, so I just thought I would say howdy and good luck with your business! And…if you ever feel the need to network with local wedding photogs, just say so! I know plenty of them!
