My photos on Cabela’s t-shirts!

Originally uploaded by Daniel Greene

Yes, that’s me standing in Cabela’s store in Glendale, AZ, holding up two of the t-shirts my photos were used for– and I’m standing right in front of the taxidermy specimens I photographed! I was so excited to see the fruits of my labor that I bought two of these t-shirts for myself and one for my mom and one for my dad. Not bad that I earned $600 for selling four photos for use on graphic tees, either!

Here’s my photo of the African Lion:

The whitetail deer tee was the most popular one. It’s sold out in all sizes. The lion, buffalo, and polar bear tees are still available in some sizes at the Cabela’s in Glendale, AZ. The lion and polar bear tees are available at Cabela’s online: Cabela’s Lifetime Adventures Short Sleeve Tee Shirt.

Upcoming Workshop: Speak-N-Spell: How to Spell & Pronounce Foreign Names & Words

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

I’m teaching my next workshop at the Desert Valleys Regional Cooperative on Wednesday, July 15, from 5:30-8:30 PM. I designed this workshop to help ASL interpreters to recognize foreign names and words when they hear them so that they know how to fingerspell them, and to recognize foreign names and words when they see them fingerspelled so they know how to pronounce them. The workshop examines the phonologies of various languages and gives participants tools for further study so they can increase their knowledge of foreign spelling systems.

After my first conference workshop

Originally uploaded by Daniel Greene

I presented my workshop "Knowing What They’re Going to Say Before They Say It: Using Genre Recognition to Improve Your Predictive Skills" at the Arizona RID (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf) State Conference on Saturday, March 28, 2009 from 1-4:30 PM. It was the first time I’d ever presented at a state conference, and they put me in the smallest meeting room (the Palo Verde room) at the Hilton Airport Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.

Can you believe that a total of 27 attendees filled this room beyond capacity? I was astounded at the turnout. I was too busy during my workshop to even think about taking pictures, but as I was leaving the space after packing up all my things, I paused to say a prayer of thanks; then I took this photo to commemorate the moment. I am hopeful to teach workshops at other conferences throughout the rest of my life. It may sound corny, but I’m all ferklempt right now as I say, "this is where it all began!"

Thanks to the conference presenter selection committee including Lauren Greenberg, Michelle Caplette-Boyle, and Joy Marks. And thanks to everyone who listened to my ideas and gave me feedback as I developed this workshop in my mind over the past several years, especially:

  • Nancy Alcock, who sat with me over lunch at Denny’s in Mira Mesa in 2003.
  • Elita Harvey, who sat with me over lunch at Outback Steakhouse in Scottsdale in 2006.
  • Lisa Levine, who stood with me on the grounds at Phoenix College in 2007.
  • Jamie DeArmas, who exchanged workshop ideas, feedback, and encouragement with me at Hands On Video Relay Service in 2008.
  • Joy Marks, who provided me with resources and materials during the nuts-and-bolts development of my workshop and gave me the space, the publicity, and the students to present my workshop for the first time in November 2008 at the Desert Valleys Regional Cooperative.

I’m sorry if I forgot anyone. Please remind me and I’ll gratefully acknowledge you here.
