TheStarFish Group O' Friends

This is my close group of friends. Top from left to right: Drake, Nikita, Brandon, me, and Leskey. Bottom: Aaron and Preston. This photo was taken on one of our hikes up in the Estrella Mountains. We go on lots of hikes and long bike rides together, basically anything physical is good with us. To say that we have a lot in common would be an extreme lie. Sure, we have common interests, such as the military. Three of the people listed are planning on the Air Force, one is already accepted. Another is a marine and there`s also a Private in the Army. However, what really brings us together is that we all add something special to the group. Whether it`s fashion tips or survival skills. My addition to the group is my neutralism when it comes to conflicts. What do you add to your group of friends?

TheStarFish Roadtrip

I haven`t been posting in a few days due to being extremely busy. The first picture is of Flagstaff, Arizona and the second picture is of Montezuma Castle. Well, this was taken in Flagstaff, Arizona on March 18, 2012. My parents decided to go on a spontaneous road trip and we ended up in northern Arizona. Over the night they got a foot of snow and we were stuck in the hotel due to a highway being shut down for shoveling. It was a really nice escape from the hot weather and I had to document every second of it. While up north we also headed to the Montezuma Castle which was beautiful and got many pictures! Where is your favorite place to go to escape your normal environment?

TheStarFish Shaping Ground

People often ask me, "Where did you spend your childhood?" or , "What place had the greatest impact on who you are?". Well, this is the place. The park alone has changed greatly, going from farm fields to mud piles, mud piles to grass, grass to sidewalks and lamps. This park curved and shaped my life. It may sound silly, I mean how can a park affect who you are as a person? I walked this field every morning and afternoon, five days a week for nine years. Some days crying, others happy and holding another person`s hand or walking with a group of my friends but nonetheless creating memories. I practiced softball, rode around on bikes with the boys, fell down EVERYWHERE, stood back up EVERYWHERE, had parties, and day dreamed about all my memories, all at this park. This is my shaping ground. Where is your shaping ground?

TheStarFish Escape

I grew up in a neighborhood surrounded by farm fields and would always wander down to the canal areas with the boys I grew up with. Running up and down the sides of them pretending we were ninjas. Over the years, the fields have been bought and now there are only two next to my neighborhood. Since they are disappearing fast I thought I should pay some respect to them and revisit them. They were and still are to this day, 11 years later, my favorite place, my escape. This above is a photo of the seemingly never ending canal we would play in as adolescents. Where do you escape to?

The Beginning

I decided to create a Blogger so I could post my photography on here and get some new ideas. I might even start serious blogging if I have the time.
