Diggin Thru The Archive

I am sitting here amongst boxes and piles of books realizing that I am a bit of a pack rat. It is the end of the school year and I am in the process of moving out of my house; a process that I have become far to accustomed to. It amazes me how much stuff I can acquire in only one years time. Books, schoolwork, magazines, and other random things tend to just pile up on me--especially National Geographic's. Why can't I ever bring myself to get rid of these things? It must be the pictures. I can't even bring myself to delete my own pictures that I don't need. Like the numerous folders I have of high school girl's volleyball, freshman football, or JV soccer that I shot while on assignments for the local paper. I am 99% sure I will never use these images, however, I just can't seem to bring myself to drag them to the trash can. Since I am doing this house cleaning I felt motivated to organize my images from this past year. Here are a few I had forgotten about, however, now that I see them I can't send them back to their boring dark folders at the back of my hard drive. This is their chance to shine.
