Best of 2011: Personal Posts
2011 was a lovely year filled with little surprises. I was lucky enough to fill my days with travel, photography, and even yogurtland and ballet. Oh, and I even managed to read 36 books (thank you iPad). And I blogged and blogged through it all. Below, I share some of my personal posts reflecting on…

Sailing in the Bay
It was a gorgeous Saturday morning– sunny and seventies– and it was perfect for sitting in a boat in the middle of the Bay. The irony was, the air was so nice, warm. and calm that there was zero no wind for sailing. Undeterred, we slowly motored along from San Francisco’s Pier 40 toward Angel…
Vancouver, BC | Cascadia Road Trip, Part 5
It was the only rainy day of our road trip, but luckily the rain went away and left only lingering gray skies once we crossed the border into Canada. Vancouver was our northernmost destination on the road trip, and it was the perfect finale to our amazing week. First, some views from Stanley Park which…
Seattle, Washington | Cascadia Road Trip, Part 4
You would think we had planned it, the way we were greeted by colorful autumn leaves and perfect weather everywhere we went along our road trip. In reality, we were just really lucky.

Tacoma, Washington | Cascadia Road Trip, Part 3
Day three of our epic road trip up the west coast: on our way from Portland to Seattle, we made a little pit stop in Tacoma, Washington. On a friend’s suggestion (thanks Margaret!), I wanted to check out Tacoma’s Museum of Glass. We didn’t actually go inside, but we just scoped out the Chihuly Bridge of…
Portland, Oregon | Cascadia Road Trip, Part 2
Portland is just as green as its reputation suggests. Green in the scenery, green in its hipster eco-friendliness. It’s a small, small town packed to the gills with bicycles and coffee shops.

I dozed off amidst in the vineyards, and I woke up in the evergreens. We had left at the crack of dawn, embarking on our road trip up the west coast. Our first destination was Crater Lake, Oregon. All that I knew about Crater Lake beforehand was that it was somewhere between San Francsico and Portland and…
Washington D.C. | Fuji 400H | Shooting Film
These images bring back the humid embrace of summer, the ninety-some degrees weather and array of sunshine and rain storms. It’s been three months since I took these film images in Washington D.C. These are the perils of shooting film– tucking away the finished rolls in some corner and forgetting all about them for months….
Inspiration | A Lifetime Ago
The roads were familiar, but the specifics had escaped me. I had to guess at the turns more than once, always correctly in the end, but I hadn’t realized how much time, how much memory had already lapsed. Three years was a lifetime ago that I lived there. The pieces of that life were now only loosely…
