I visited my old high school to reconnect with and take a few pictures of my old classmates. I found two people in particular, polar opposites, who showed their character to the camera.

The first is Randy, 19-years-old and a senior. He is a goof-off and a trouble-maker. He's always causing the teachers anguish and spending the day in the principal's office. Most of the students try to keep as far way from him as they can, but I've never let him become distant to me. You know what they say, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." He came into the hall where I was taking pictures, so I told him to stand next to the window. At first he smiled sweetly and posed and I said, "Wait a minute, that's not you. I've never seen you smile like that." He then pulled the angry face you see.

Lisa is the one friend from high school that has stuck around and seeks out my friendship. She is a little blonde and extremely innocent, but she will follow me in and out of trouble and is never scared to tell me the blunt truth. She has an wide smile that she flashes often and a carefree personality. I told her to look serious and it was all she could do to hold back a laugh.

As a class for Environmental Science, I took a trip to Santa Catalina Island. The time spent was well worth it; I loved every minute of it. I wasn't able to take as many photos as I would have liked to as I had classes and schedules to follow. I was lucky enough to have Maria on the same trip with me.
