Erika.
Erika is 85 years old. Erika is from Nicaragua. Erika lives her daily routine with frustration and copious amounts of pain. Although she could breeze through her daily activities with the excuse most 85 year olds have (slow and steady), she insists on continuing her busy responsible lifestyle. Of that which she starts at 6:30 every morning. Which is where I come in.

Phillip Jones Grifith
I was drawn to his candid black and white wide angled views. I kind of approached this in a round about way, I looked through every magnum photographer without picking one specific. I chose like 5 of my favorites, and then decided to find my story before I honed in on a specific style. I wanted to document the life of thirteen year olds on any given day. I have a thirteen year old brother, and after living away from home for almost five years now I have no idea what a day in his world looks like. I came home and expected him to be playing video games on this rainy day, but I was very wrong.
this is where I found them. Jumping on a sopping wet trampoline in the rain. With a ball.
They insisted they show me their fort. This was not your average fort, this fort had power (via massive extension chords from the house) powering the television, and disco lights on the inside. The best part about this is I built my first legit fort in this very spot a little over ten years ago.
So naturally, we ended up inside, vegging playing video games.
What amazed me is for the thirty minutes that I was in there, they did not look at each other once. They are so interactive in every other setting, then you get them in front of a tv screen and it all ends.
