Camping in 30-degree weather and an iPhone 7 has its perks.

Smartphone Photography: A Weekend In Flagstaff, Arizona
Lisa Diethelm

I drove up with some friends to Flagstaff for Fall break. I had never been, but I had heard it was beautiful. I wanted to capture that beauty.

Roadtrip

Lisa Diethelm

Nothing says adventure like an open road and a ginormous sky. This was just outside of Sedona

1. Trees!

Lisa Diethelm

I camped in the woods off of Woody Mountain Road in Flagstaff. This is from the first morning. There were so many trees there. Everywhere you look there were more and more trees. It was peaceful to just sit there and take in the view.

2. Melting dew

Lisa Diethelm

I missed the sunrise, but I didn't miss the dew melting off of everything. This little weed caught my eye because it looked so much greener than the ground.

Something grey

Lisa Diethelm

At times I felt like it rained the whole weekend. It even hailed at one point. The sun will be out and shinning and then, boom! The sky turned grey and the rain just came down.

White as snow

Lisa Diethelm

It snowed one night, and it all melted in the morning. I sort of gave up on camping and stayed at a friend's house. I found this flower in her front yard. I like weird angles. This flower was still alive but it was limping. I tried the upside down approach for the shot.

A sunset 

Lisa Diethelm

I liked the purple and the pinks in the sky. It was super windy and I was freezing but I got my butt outside to capture the beauty.

Rainbow

Lisa Diethelm

This was on Route 17. It had just stopped raining and the sun started to break through the clouds. Out of all the rainbows I've seen, this half rainbow is by far the prettiest one.

Stranded

Lisa Diethelm

Looking for that signal or modeling for a new album cover? The world may never know.

Ollie

Lisa Diethelm

"This is sooooo ammmaaazziiinnnngggg!" said Ollie. He was right.

More sunsets

Lisa Diethelm

I mean, look at this. The sky was at least four different colors.

Last one I swear

Lisa Diethelm

I thought this shot summed up my weekend. It was cloudy and rainy, but everything I saw was so beautiful. Sometimes, the Earth reminds us how cool it really is.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
