One of the coolest things about Steemit is the opportunity to interact with great photographers all over the world. One of my favorite people I've met through this platform is the fun and fresh 
Hive account@jarvie, and as it so happened we realized that we would both be visiting the Phoenix area last week! We met up for sunrise at Papago Park on Monday morning to take some pictures and hang out. For those of you interested in Hive account@jarvie's perspective on the morning, you can check out his post to see what he had to say!
For those of you that don't know, Hive account@jarvie is a super legit photographer, a founder of 
Hive account@photogames, and an all-around fun dude. We had a great time climbing around on rocks, talking about Steemit, and taking pictures of each other standing on things. This was the first time I had ever met up with a photographer that I had only met online, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it was a great experience and I'd love to do that sort of thing more in the future! Steemit is such a great tool for connecting people who have common interests, and I love that it gives incentive to create quality content together.
If any of you lovely people out there in Steemit world are ever in the Central Ohio area just let me know, I'd love to hang out! I'm looking forward to seeing what doors Steemit opens in the future.
Here are a few pictures from the morning! These were all taken with my Fuji X-T20 and my 18-55mm kit lens.

Breakfast Time!
Side note: I had pancakes that had bacon INSIDE THE PANCAKE. Like what? Tasty and delicious.
