Another believe it or not: I was also really into skate culture in college, among many others things and identities (like hippies and triathlons). I became friends with a really neat crew at my University and we called ourselves the Bell Tower Kids (BTK) hahaha. I was basically the only chick but I had so much fun photographing my friends and skating around campus all the time. _ First photo is of random people at Santa Monica, but the rest are people I once spent nearly all my time with. Last photo is of my own board. ❤️ Miss you, dudes. Not tagged: Joe Romano!!! _ #skaterkids #keepitwild #urbanconcrete #sk8 #adventurereadyspirit #flashback #mementos

Believe it or not I almost graduated with a second degree in Art Photography. For several years I wanted to be a fashion photographer...lol. But I had so much fun just making art and being weird about it, which eventually just turned into me playing outside and abandoning my sub/urban dreams for one with mountains and words. Still, I’ve been feeling that creative spark for the visual lately. Hopefully I’ll be able to expand art making this year. :) _ My models often were my sister @therenearanda, past roomies/besties, and even myself. #nmlff #keepitwild #portraitphotography #natureinspired #adventurereadyspirit #photography #throwback #liveyourart

To the very woman who showed me what independent and strong looks like; how stubbornness and passion are so closely related; that as a woman, you’re allowed to do things for yourself. In an interview with her alma mater, CSU Fullerton, she was asked about what she learned as an adult. She replied: “The most valuable thing I have learned is how important it is to respect and trust myself. I learned it the hard way, by putting up with emotional abuse in a couple of relationships and by not trusting my intuition.” _ Cheryl Marie Melendrez Aranda, my mother, was a talented singer, musician, and sarcastic as hell. When she and my dad divorced, she blossomed into her truest self. She did and fixed everything on her own to make a point. In addition to still raising us four kids, she continued to chase her own dreams. She balanced it all: career, passion, motherhood, and eventually her failing health. With genetics against her, she passed from cancer all too soon in 2009. But her legacy and self-empowerment live on. Happy International Women’s Day, Ma. 🥂 You’re my genesis in every way. _ #internationalwomensday #womenempowerment #womenshistorymonth #mothersanddaughters

Spring is almost here my hibernating adventure friends.

When you travel you open yourself up. To the land. To other people’s paths. And you change. Or at least I hope you do. Even if it’s through memory alone. When I take a photo I want it to reflect the change in me. _ El desierto de Sonora //Tohono O’odham / Seri / Yaqui / Pima _ #nmlff #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #liveyourart #saguaro #sonorandesert #bivytales #writerslife #keepitwild #naturetherapy

Thank you to those who continue to follow and read along. Last year ended up being a quiet year for BivyTales, but this year will hopefully be much different. Experimenting and engaging with more collaboration across various mediums, I hope to share more genuine art and prose. Being so small and without funding is of course the first and main obstacle, which is why most passion projects, like this very platform, easily dissipate. Refocusing my intentions, I might have to redefine what BivyTales even is, what it represents, or what and how it serves the community. Since I cannot pay contributors, I think the best thing to do is distill the brand back to its origins: a personal blog and a place for people to find me, browse my portfolio, etc. Is this the right move? Lend me your thoughts! - Sara _ #liveyourart #bivytales #keepitwild #writerslife #womenwhowrite #artforartssake @bivytales @heysarawrr
