  • nickspud Arizona Is En Fuego | Three years ago this month, My parents and I went to pick up my sister in Quito, Ecuador. She was finishing a 18 month mission for our church. She showed us around the cities she served in and we visited many families she taught and became very close with. Our Spanish, my parents and I's, was pretty awful. But we tried to say a few things to show off our Spanish prowess. Kaylee would remind the families that we had traveled from Arizona. So my Dad would chime in like clockwork, every time Arizona was mentioned, and say, "Arizona es en fuego", in attempt to explain that it's very, very warm where we're from. Except this line always garnered wide-eyed looks, and expressions of concern, because that sentence actually means "Arizona is on fire". But ironically, and sadly, his shaky statement rings true today.   3d
  • karynkelly Sad state of affairs, but a beautiful image.   2d
  • pinkponies Hahaa! I love your captions they always make your photos more meaningful than just a pretty picture.   2d
  • chelsnoelle This is insane. And dad tells "dad jokes" even in Spanish! I'm waiting to hear answer to @fabsgirl 's question- fire chaser?   2d
  • kayleemarie Oh Dad. Those poor Ecuadorians. It was his main contribution.   2d
  • jsorensen Great story   2d
  • jsorensen Oops cont. always makes me laugh!   2d
  • jambry Awesome   2d
  • lsjourney Do they have any predictions on when the fire will be under control?   20h

  • nickspud This weeks inspiration. Been listening to "Bloom" for months, and have been totally entranced by it. It deserved a vinyl purchase. Also, I am going to be tackling a lot of projects this summer, many that will require creative thought and energy. I have heard incredible things about Lehrer's new book, "Imagine". So far, it's entirely enlightening. I am starting to discover how to best harness creativity in its' infant stages. #lehreristhenewgladwell   6d
  • zurc7 Interesting stuff indeed. Good luck with everything. Can't wait to hear and see. Side note: when I read Irene at the top I thought 'Adler...'   5d
  • carmenk943 Cool...thanks for sharing   5d
  • carmynjoy Bloom is, indeed, incredible. Can't wait to get myself a vinyl copy, too.   5d
  • kylieolivia @nickspud so jealous!   5d
  • k_sandbar Can't stop listening to Myth   5d
  • curious2119 Awesome! Looks like a book I should pick up?!!   5d
  • jack_chrome Be sure to find Lehrer's comments on memory. It's an argument most cannot bear the thought of.   2d
  • devincastro my favorite moment: the transition from "on the sea" to "irene" .   2d

  • nickspud This is Tyler. He's a wicked trombonist and swims the butterfly stroke with authority. He shared with me honest opinions about girls, his occasional dabbling in criminal mischief -- it involves plastic reindeer -- and a story that involved some pretty heavy serenading. Though he drives a super savvy car (69' mustang), it ain't nearly as cool as his personality. This kid is charismatic and grins like today is his last. Only a few more seniors left this season.   1w

  • nickspud Meet alli. This #Starbucks barista was a joy to shoot. She never showed a hint of nervousness and seemed super comfortable in her skin, a trait that doesn't usually bloom for years after high school. She is thrilled to be leaving the pointlessness that she finds high school to be -- if I'm finished taking a test, I am forced to sit there and do nothing, instead of being given the opportunity to leave -- and I could see her mind running away to places, or maybe she was trying to escape her Mom's free-styling rap sessions during the shoot. Wherever her mind wanders to I'm sure it's bright and hopeful, like her future. @allinicolee | Another senior shoot today. A savvy swimmer and trombonist!   2w

  • nickspud @38ssiew is the instagramer of the day on #igtalk today! Check out his post and take a look at his feed. It's scrabble time at grandma's. You know what that means... Guess my score to be highlighted on IGtalk this next week. The closest person to my score wins. And a hint, cause I want it to be close, unless I totally tank, my score will be above 250. Best of luck!   2w

  • nickspud The "Champion" Saguaro - I kept passing this cactus in my travels and I finally pushed myself today to document it. I counted over 2 dozen arms (it can take 75 years for an arm to spawn), it was taller than me by as much as five times, and it held multiple nests for different types of wild birds. That plant will outlive me. Talk about standing in front of greatness.   2w
  • jambry This is insanely cool!   2w
  • hannahandersonn @nickspud Haha! it's pretty close!!   2w
  • scourthedream i still remember (fondly) being so transfixed with the cacti while in your beautiful state. magnificent and yet still so oddly beautiful... (another gorgeous-subdued edit, nick)   2w
  • mamad50 Ok, must admit you have given me a new appreciation for something I pass by monthly. I have laughed and pointed at the pathetic base of so many...perhaps I should look up!! (I travel on 10 from CA and haven't seen this old man)   2w

  • nickspud When we think of our most beloved instagramers, we apply an image to their name in our head, so it's easy to categorize and differentiate each person. We do this naturally, almost without knowing. Think of some of your favorite iphoneographers. There will be a few that stand out in your head, and those will stimulate a singular image associated with their name in your mind. When I see the name Chris Vallejos, it's impossible not to think of an endless stretch of road. He is the king of roads. His feed is decorated with empty streets and sprawling asphalt, all conjuring up a desire for travel, a need for adventure. A road, by definition, is an open passageway from one place to another. Chris' images of California callin' provide a route to a destination of landscape wonder and beach bliss. His incredibly generous editing tips provide an avenue for post production enlightenment, a blessing for those salivating for help -- what apps did you use? -- and a sense of rejuvenation for those battling boring editing spells. Chris' road has been a thrilling and fulfilling one to follow. I'd recommend you do the same. @chrisvallejos #legend #igtalk || You'll notice when you read Chris' interview a new section of questions called "the people's choice". These were handpicked questions from fellow instagramers, followers of Chris. I am going to try to have every future legend give their followers the opportunity to pose a question that may end up in the official interview. Hoping to get even more participation. So thanks to all those who asked the great questions for Chris!   2w
  • zerozero31 thanks for the tip! *followed* !   2w
  • saltyness He was one of the first people to talk to me on IG-he has a great heart!   2w
