Play Photo Finish

Out of Daniel Pink's book I choose to experiment with Play Photo Finish. If you can't tell by my facebook profile (more specifically "My Photos") I love taking pictures and being in pictures. I love capturing the moments that my life encompasses. I choose a picture that came from this winter when i visited Chile. I studied abroad for 4 weeks studying Spanish and Chilean culture. I got the pleasure of visiting and seeing some of the most beautiful places I will probably ever experience. This picture was one of the first days I was in Chile and it holds a special place in my heart because of the emotions and memories it evokes when i see it. When i look at it i can't help but smile. The day was filled with sandboarding down dunes that over looked the ocean. After that, We went horse back riding on the beach and through the water.

This photo is with one of my best friends and roommate Renata who also went to South America with me. Also in the photo is Betsy who was from South Dakota and in the ISA program with Renata and I. The trip was life changing and extremely humbling when i saw the life style that Chilean people lived. I lived with an amazing family that lived in a one story apartment that housed nine people. When I look at this photo I not only relive this day in my head but it makes me think about the experience as a whole.

Here is a link to the photo:
