All walks of life, feet-first
Last April, Gabe Mendez took part in an “Instameet” at the Poppy Fields in the Antelope Valley. The gatherings are a way for “people from all walks of life to take pictures and make new friends,” Mendez says.
During the meet-up, one of the Instagram users suggested they lie on their backs and pretend to grow feet-first from the ground as Mendez stayed back to capture the moment with his iPhone 5S.
“Many of these creative minds I meet for the first time have an awesome imagination,” he said. “They inspire new perspectives through photography.”
