The Tennis Team

  I cannot express how much I love my team,  they just make my entire day. I would definitely say that this season of tennis has been the highlight of my Sophomore year, getting to be myself and laugh and have fun is just a really great privilege to be able to experience. My teammates are probably the best friends I've ever had, especially in this past year. So here are some photos of our practices and games we've had this season :)

Freak Alley

 So Downtown Boise is the most amazing place to hangout in Idaho, like seriously, it is so mainstream! There is literally a coffee place at the end of every street, my favorite one being The Hammer :P . I have only gone there three times, twice for digital photography and the other for choir. The second time I went there was on a fieldtrip in which our assignment was to take  pictures of certain things, like a scavenger hunt! It was fun running around independently with my friends, but the best part about that trip was finding Freak Alley.

   It is a really cool place, it is an alley way where artist go and paint murals. I love it there, I like all the statements the artist express in their art and I just love all the colors! Some are sad, some are happy, some address touchy subjects such as the honesty and integrity of political leaders, and some are just so fun! Every year, new artist get asked to bring in their creative touches. I think its sad that eventually they will be painted over by others art, but at the same time it is really cool that it is always changing. Its like a mosh pot of emotion.

  Recently, I took my sisters and my dad there so that I could do an assignment for photography; portraits! We had a hard time parking at first cause we had literally NO CHANGE in the car to put into the meter so I was really worried we wouldn't get to even go! Luckily, I found a penny. So we only had 20 minutes to walk there, take our pictures, and leave. Sooo not enough time, but sometimes you need to make good with what you got. It was a really fun experience and I am glad we all had a lot of fun. I am also glad I got a lot of fantastic pictures for my class! phew!

  Here are some of the shots I took, my mom liked them so much that we are going to frame them and hang them up :) I particularly like the butterfly wings images because I thought it was such an innovative idea, I used proportion to make it look like the wings were really coming from my sisters and I ! I hope you enjoy them! 

I will be trying to post more often btw, so expect more coming up! ;)
