  2. Rhoda Gerig - The Life Of A Wildlife Photographer

    Rhoda Gerig - The Life Of A Wildlife Photographer

    Rhoda Gerig has an amazing ability to compose the most intimate and breathtaking wildlife portraits honoring nature's miraculous beauty. Her passion shines through in this interview as she talks about her time spent tracking and studying animal behavior to help submerge the viewer into the scene she captures, as well as cultivating relationships within the community of wildlife photography.  Gerig’s love for photography started when she was gifted a film camera for her birthday to document her family vacation. Encouraged by her father, who too was a photographer, she was given a voice to mold through her lens. From stopping on the side of the road to photograph what she saw was interesting to wildflowers, she was able to flourish in her technique. “My mom was artistic. My dad was the photographer. And when I was 13, we were taking a trip out west. My birthday was going to happen when we were in California and they gave me my birthday present early that year and it was the camera and two rolls of 24 picture film. So 48 pictures for the whole trip. It was a month long trip. We went down to Louisiana and out to California and then came back the northern states and I remember at the Grand Canyon I took four whole pictures and I thought after I left I maybe shouldn't have taken that many because I'm trying to make this 48 pictures last and now I can take 48 pictures in seconds. It was kind of a fun experience. But my dad, instead of being the kind of dad that gets in the car and says we're not stopping for anything, he said anytime you see something you want to take a picture of, tell me and we'll pull over. That's kind of where I got interest in it.”  After year’s of teaching math, Gerig was given the position to teach art and photography, giving her students an opportunity to bolden their skills and possibly, just possibly discover their abilities as well.  “I loved figuring out a kid's personality and throwing some ideas at them saying, “Have you thought about doing this or that?”, and figuring out the missing piece that they need to kind of go a little bit further. And part of that is people watching and figuring out personalities. But when I would make assignments, especially for the high schoolers, where I would try to leave it open enough that they could do a lot of what they wanted to do but still meet some of the requirements that I wanted them to work on, I would think through the kids that I would have in the class and think, he is never going to be able to do this or that's not going to fit her. And how can I open something up that would be something that they would be interested in”  Even after retirement, Gerig has always seen her photography as more of a hobby than a professional career, though her work doesn’t even whisper “hobbyist .” Her photography has been entered in many competitions and is known beyond just Wabash. Gerig displays her masterpieces on her socials and website, (www.rhodagerig.com), where she also sells prints that can be purchased to bring nature into your own home.  Gerig discussed the barrier to entry on professional wildlife photography, as well as some tips that could help anyone looking to pick up a camera for the first time, and about her mindset shift after her trip to Africa.  Once again, here I go, about to give it all away.

  3. Cathy Gohmann - The Life Of An English Teacher And Book Lover.

    Cathy Gohmann - The Life Of An English Teacher And Book Lover.

    The a heart of teacher never goes void in the mind of the student. For the mind who had the opportunity to sit under the heart of Cathy Gohmann, with her ability to bring depth and humor to every dynamic class, were left with more than just Shakespeare. Within her class she offered an engrossing educational awareness of a place in time, and if one listened closely the world opened up. Gohmann’s love for literature began with her nose constantly in books as a child, a way for her to pass the time and her mother’s way of keeping her kids out of trouble. Like a book should, it began to open her imagination and introduce her to differing views. When brought to her mother’s attention, it was seen as an opportunity to cultivate and encourage conversations about the subjects. “We actually had library cards from three different towns. Every place she went to run errands, we'd end up with a library card and she would have us go get books. Then we would be in the car reading while she ran into the grocery store or went and got prescriptions or whatever she needed. We were just in the back of the station wagon reading and so it was always encouraged and really not censored. If mom thought maybe it was controversial material she would get two copies she read it at the same time and then every night we talked about what we had read and the idea of fiction and how does that go with our religious beliefs. And so, you know, I was never told, no, you can't read that.” After moving from Borden, Indiana to Wabash, Gohmann fell in love with the community and began her life long career at the same school she would retired from in 2024, Southwood High School. There she developed her lessons to use literature as a tool and not just another assignment. Applying lessons that brought to light the student's experience to enhance the layered principles. As well as allowing her classroom to be a safe place for her students to learn and grow. Key component? Consistency. “They knew I was there. And they also, whether you get a lot of criticism about it or not, they knew I was consistent. I think because teachers see the bigger picture, there are some students who could not rely on any consistency in their home life and they needed to know that you were going to be consistent.” Gohmann exudes excitement and encouragement for the next generation, anxiously waiting to see how they will attribute to the future of literature and beyond. As for me, I know I can speak for other students when I say you have impacted our lives with your generous consistency and acceptance. Thank you for being there and teaching us. It was such an honor to enjoy a lovely cup of tea with Mrs….I mean Cathy, and morph this lovely interview into just a conversation between two book lovers. So, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, Lend me your ears,” and head over and listen to this interview with….. “What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../here-in-my-time/id1858774701https://open.spotify.com/show/5K9eZC25ipFZHlpiubNoAihttps://www.youtube.com/@HereInMyTime Contact me: Hereinmytime.com Hereinmytime@gmail.com Facebook and Instagram

    Carol Gebert, a local storyteller and a lifelong teacher, sat down with me to have a conversation about her life and unexpected career as a storyteller. Growing up on farm in rural Indiana with a large family, she experience the different dynamics of her parents as her family grew. With the choice of either becoming a nurse or a teacher, given to her by her hard working father, she set out on the path of becoming a teacher. After years of lining up her toys creating an environment of structure, she knew it was a natural desire. Gebert found a love for theatre and art, teaching in many diverse classrooms throughout several states. When faced with many challenges in the classroom, she turned them into personal growth and unconditional love for her students. It is these moments she looks back on in hopes that she made a difference in the lives of her students, and I have a feeling she did. Gebert has an ability to pull an audience in and anyone in her presence for that matter. She fell into storytelling after taking a class with a friend and the moment she was a able to take a story to an expected place, she knew she wanted to pursue this artform.  It doesn’t take long to realize the depth in which a story can go. For Gebert, she designs a story that will capture the hearts of all ages.
