a snap shot of me by Dalton Moller

This is a snapshot of me standing in front of some people, I wasn’t very sure who they were or even who I was all I knew is that I'm not sleeping, and I want to sleep, I do not want to stand in front of the tail end of a lame train, what is so amazing about this train anyway just get me in my car seat and drive, let me feel the bumps of the road that will massage me back to my peaceful slumber.

My picture was taken of me at the Golden Spike in Ogden, Utah we were driving up to Idaho to see my grandma so we just decided to stop and visit, so my parents woke me up, and I did not want to be woke up so my family dragged me over placed me down in front of the back a red train that is jetting out from the left side of the picture where they wanted to take the picture, so my older sisters are standing happily behind smiling as if it was Christmas, and be hind us a dark space with no one in sight.

My face is the star of the picture I'm the first person you look at and you cant take your eyes off me it looks like I slept walked over there and was about to curl up and take a nap but my sisters grab my shoulder and don’t let me go any where so I was stuck in front of a silly train looking as tired as I can be so if you want so know what my face looked like go look at your dad on a Sunday when he is napping in the living room and there is my face and as for the rest its mere background.

The Golden Spike is an amazing place with wonder and history written all over the building and trains and if I went there today I would be sucked up to the past and relive the experience but 11 years ago I was having my own experience looking at the back of my eyelids, yes I was tired but why didn't think of the history the past maybe I was to young I guess little kids don’t marvel of the past because I know that kid falling asleep standing up did not care about any thing there.

a snapshot of me by Joe Isaacon

This is a picture of me when I was four, about 9 years ago.I am at my grandmothers house holding her puppy. I am standing by the sidewalk on the grass, in the background you can see my grandmothers shed and her trampoline. You can also see my big brother trying to climb up a tree using a rope. My grandma used to live on a farm about 3 hours away from Salt Lake City, so we couldn't see her very often.On the top right corner you can see some hay and a big broken blue bus.
That day we left at 7 in the morning and slept there for five days. Every night we roasted marshmallows and made a 8 ft tall camp fire. Some times we would go swimming somewhere, I cant remember where because it was a long time ago. We rode horses and went to my grandmas store.
On this trip my best friend came and so did my two brothers friends. This was the funnest trip I ever went on although it didn't smell very good. My brothers and there friends were having a paint ball gun war and my brother "accidentally" shot me, but I always knew it wasn't an accident.

Hockey, a sport of grace, power, and money. To play this game you need the skill, the will, and the perseverance. It's hard to accomplish great things in hockey. This one man has set a record for the most goals scored in the NHL for any left winger to ever play. Luc Robitaille. To meet this man is a great inspiration to any hockey player. In this snapshot, from left to right, it's my father, Luc Robitaille, then me. This snapshot has more of a story though than what I just said though.

Years ago, I wasn't the hockey-playing beast of a boy I am today. I was just your average twinkie-loving 9 year old. One day, my dad took me to a hockey game and it changed my life. The game just happened to have Luc Robitaille playing left wing. I was astonished. I couldn't believe that people could dress up in 40 pounds worth of gear, skate on a sheet of frozen water with blades only a millimeter thick, and use their stick to get a small rubber object into a goal smaller than the man protecting it. Luc, my inspiration, scored a hat trick that game (3 goals in one game). After that game, I couldn't stop thinking about hockey and that amazing hat trick.

That same year, I started to play hockey. With the goal of eventually meeting that scoring beast. He was my inspiration for playing. Him and some other Hall of Famers. I got further into hockey, I studied the history of the game, I studied better ways to play and became very knowledgeable of the great game. I went to every NHL game I could, all of them blowing my mind. My mind was still set on meeting that man. I eventually went to a hockey camp where he was the instructor. He taught so much, and I was just shocked to finally meet this man and actually learn from him.

Later, I had the chance to go to California for a music convention. My uncle is a radio DJ in California, so he can get us plenty of things to do in California. My dad sneakily suggested to him that we go see their local team, the Kings, play against the Red Wings. My uncle got us the tickets! Not only that, he got us V.I.P. passes to the game. We ended up in the Lexus club, it's very high class. In fact, it's so high class that the toilets had gold seats! Well, not really. But I wouldn't be surprised! We ate our delicious dinner there with the man, the manager of the King's communications department, Luc Robitaille. He even remembered me from that camp, and said I was a great hockey player. Those words were so inspiring. This picture is of me, my dad, and Luc right before we went back to our hotel. I will never forget it.

It was a warm summer day of 2008. In this picture, my youth group and I were at the park attending a B-b-que. We were coming from a Youth Service. I was trying to dry off my clothes because we just finished playling with water baloons. The grass was green as green can get, so I was really excited to lay out and the warm Sun dry my cold, wet clothes.

Maritza (far left) Ashley (right of Maritza) ME! (in the middle) Anelle (far right). The reason why this picture was taken was because we were about to go get something to eat, so we just took a picture to get something to remember that day by.

Well we were all very hungry, so we just pulled out a camera and started taking pictures until it was time to eat so right after we took the picture, one of our friends Yvette who isn't in the picture came and tried to ruin it, so we beat her to the chase. By then the food was ready and we had the time of our lives there. :D

A Snapshot of Me by Dallas Kunkler

The photograph was taken at my dads second roomates house, since he got into a legal argument against his 1st roomate. It was token in the main hallway in the basement where my dad was staying. I was 6 at the time and the picture was token on 7/1/01. My dad is in the picture with me and he was 29 at the time. My sister took the picture of us.

The picture was taken because my dad and my mom got divorced, and I didn't see my dad often. It was mainly token because he was staying in a better place because his old roomate was a drugie, and we were happy. We were happy because we were having fun, and hanging out. I love this picture because it means something to me, and I look at it all the time. The picture makes me think of my dad when I look at it, because I don't see him a lot.

I will always remember this picture because we were in a better place, and I liked it a lot more. It was cleaner, didnt smell, and I liked the roomates better. I love this picture because its a picture of me and my dad when I was younger, and I dont have many of them. Ill always remember this picture, and Ill always have it.

A Snapshot of Me by Madi Muir

A dark room on a Christmas morning, the only light is the one coming from a Christmas tree in the far right of this room, at the edge is a tree skirt is folding out on. Around the corner of the room is the wrapping paper from all of the child's presents... my presents... they lay in a pile behind me, but I've found the one I really want, its a large baby doll wrapped in a blanket this is the first doll i ever had as a kid.

This baby is twice the size of me so despite my efforts to keep it off the ground it would drag behind me, with the doll in a head lock and me tilting to one side trying to keep its feet off the ground, I would always trip or fall on the dolls feet because they got in my way alot. But although Iwould be mad at the doll for doing this, I would always forgive it and pretend feed it again just to take care of it, to me as a child this doll was something i didnt want to be without something that I wanted to take with me everywhere.

When I was little this doll was something I consederd an actual person Iwould think of it as a sibling so I would attempt to sneak it with me whenever my mom told me I couldnt bring it with me to my babysitters house. Wich was a dificult thing because it was bigger than me.

A Snapshot Of Me by Shaunie Graham

It was a cold winter day, but it was warm in the high school auditorium. Girls of all ages were surrounded by family and friends congratulating them. This picture is with me, my friend Saige, and my other friend Nicole. It was my first show in company and I was really nervous. I was glad when the first show ended but I still had another show to do.

I've been dancing for almost nine years now. I do ballet, tap, and a contemporary/jazz mix. In my free time I like to dance full contemporary and some hip-hop. For my tap dance in my big show I'm doing a dance to the song "You can't stop the beat" from hairspray, and my jazz will be Micheal Jackson's "Thriller". This picture was taken because we were all walking trying to find our parents but we found Saige's mom first. My mom was right behind her and I guess I didn't see her. The first picture her mom took we were looking at her. Then I noticed my mom she took the picture that I'm using.

At that moment I felt proud and excited. I felt proud because I finally had the Starlette Company logo on my uniform. I was excited because I just finished my first show in Company. I could tell that my mom was so proud of me. The rest of my family came to the second show that I had that night. Whenever I see this photo I laugh and smile to myself because it brings back all of the memories I had that night. I can remember it so clearly it's like it was just yesterday. This is a snapshot of me as a Starlette for the first time.
