It’s been almost a year since I’ve taught a class, so it was nice to be sharing my photography knowledge and experience with some of my neighbors in Tanuri Ridge. Two Saturday mornings ago, Joy and I hosted one of the Tanuri Ridge Education & Recreation Series, in which I was providing some basics in digital cameras and photography. I will continue to offer photography related classes, neighbors, and friends as long as there is an interest. Additionally, I will continue to do one-on-one tutorials to help people in capturing their own memorial moments.

On February 10, 2011, the Tanuri Ridge Education & Recreation Series program was given by the University of Arizona, College of Optical Sciences, Professor Emeritus (and Tanuri Ridge Resident) Bill Wolfe, on “Optics In Nature.” The following information on Bill is from the College of Optical Sciences website:
Bill Wolfe joined the Optical Sciences Center in 1969 and retired in 1995 after a 26-year career. He received his undergraduate degree in physics from Bucknell University and earned postgraduate degrees in physics and electrical engineering at the University of Michigan. A noted author and researcher in optical engineering, Bill helped translate the study of optics in ways we can all understand and appreciate. His contributions to space programs, military defense, and commercial applications have defined a productive, innovative, and successful career in infrared optics. Bill generously established this scholarship to honor his family and support graduate students pursuing careers in infrared optics.
After Bill’s presentation, we toured the College of Optical Sciences on the University of Arizona campus.
