Some friends and I were at a festival on Boise State's Campus and just taking some random pictures. I noticed how this picture had a good ground level that I was able to get rid of all the people in the background and still tell that Matt was sitting on the grass.

While babysitting my nephew he wanted to play in the car, and of course have a photo shoot. I figure in this picture he was a decent amount brighter than the background that it would be easy to select him and put him onto a sold dark background.

All these photos except the tunnel one were taken when members of my family and I went on walks. Three of the five were taking at my grandmother's house. She has around 100 acres with a lot of interesting scenery. Every so often as my cousins and I spend a few hours going out for walks and taking pictures to remember the places we spent a good deal of our childhood playing. When my brother was going to school he lived right near Lake Michigan. Whenever I would go down to visit him when the weather was nice we would go down to the beach and enjoy the sun and the nice cool water. The photograph of the tunnel is in South Dakota, taken on a family vacation. What you can't see in the photo is that the tunnel is framing Mount Rushmore.
