La Codicia Y La Amistad No Van De La Mano

Ayer se quito la vida, José Miguel Centeno Sánchez, un policia de la uniformada de Puerto Rico en el pueblo de Isabela, cuando las autoridades llegaron a su casa con una orden de allanamiento. El agente, llevaba 20 años trabajando con la policia de Puerto Rico.

El policia era sospechoso de cometer el horrendo asesinato de una pareja de envejecientes. La pareja fue amordazada y baleada para robarle $200,000 de la venta de una casa. Segun la noticia, el policia llevaba una amistad de mas de 10 años con los envejecientes, y de vez en cuando hacia arreglos en la residencia de ellos. Ya lo dice el refran, "la codicia y la amistad no van de la mano".

Ex-Senadora PNP Evelyn Vazquez Se Lanza Para Alcaldia de Mayaguez

Segun Vazquez, el municipio de Mayagüez “se ha quedado atrás en la historia del progreso y pretendemos revivir sus mejores años". Por eso, en su primer proyecto para enfrentar la crisis de Mayaguez, Vazquez va buscar el tesoro del galeon hundido en las costas de Puerto Rico. 

El rescate de “ricos” tesoros sumergidos en costas de Puerto Rico podria convertirse en la solución a los problemas financieros de Mayaguez  y la fuente de dinero para garantizar su campaña politica. 

La verdad que estos politicos de pacotilla de nuestra isla no tienen verguenza. 

In A Bit Of A Conundrum

I am in a bit of a conundrum, now that I am spending more time creating videos and buying new gear for my channel.

I see myself relegating photography to a second place. Last night, I realized that since I purchased the DJI drone last January, I have not taken any pictures with my Nikon D7000 DSLR. Every single new pictures or videos have been taken with my cell phone or my GoPro action camera.

Let me rephrase the previous statement, the only pictures taken with my Nikon camera, are the old pictures scanned at my sister's house this past summer when I began to digitize our family old pictures.

Some changes need to be made, if I want to fall off the wagon back into digital photography.

Throwback Thursday - Childrens Camp

These are some images taken during my time doing volunteer work (15 years) at summer camp.

I have hundreds of summer camp images, these are some of my favorites. This five day camp gives kids ages 5-14, a chance to participate in structured sports and games, arts and crafts, group projects and field trips.

I don't think most people realize how important is for these children to be part of camp, especially for kids who are economically disadvantaged. They learn life skills in a safe and fun environment, that helps them develop important social, emotional and cognitive skills. 

The most rewarding part of camp for me, was seeing some of these kids now as responsible adults, building a future, while raising their own families. As a bonus, it was great to see some of them to come back to camp as grown-ups, as volunteer counselors and give back to the community.
