Some time last year I discovered The Sketchbook Project, a global art project that invites people to purchase a sketchbook and returned it filled with their artwork for permanent exhibition in The Brooklyn Art Library. I jumped on board for Volume 14 of the project, then let my sketchbook sit blank for nearly a year…
I’m thrilled to share our second meetup for the Amber Collective, which was a night at the museum! At the end of March, we gathered at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for a night of connection and inspiration. As with our first gathering, we were intentional with our event, with a friendly team…
Singapore! I wanted to take a little trip with my mom, and Singapore seemed like the perfect choice. We could easily get there from Taiwan since we were already planning to go there in February, and it’s a safe, easily accessible, English and Chinese-speaking country. Plus, with the runaway success of Crazy Rich Asians, Singapore…
The finale of Anna and Amy’s Arizona Adventures is here! And it’s Scottsdale, the city we actually stayed in all three nights. We kick it off with some explorations of Scottsdale on Thursday night. First, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA). Here’s a James Turrell skyspace similar to the one you can find at…
If you’ve missed parts one and two of Anna and Amy’s Arizona Adventures you can start with those links and rejoin us here for part three: Sedona. We made a day trip from Scottsdale, squeezing in just two hikes and two meals before heading back. I would love to spend more time in this region….
If you missed part one of Amy and Anna’s Arizona Adventures, you can catch it here. This is part two: Phoenix! We flew in and out of Phoenix and explored the city a bit in the beginning and the end of our short trip. Since I had inadvertently begun a tour of various state capitols…
When my friend Amy and I decided to unite our shared sense of wanderlust in the form of a winter vacation, our main criteria were: scenic and not too wintry. And that’s how we found ourselves in Arizona! Apparently Frank Lloyd Wright’s doctor agreed about the mildness of winter in Arizona, because that’s what he…
When Tiffany asked if I had plans to visiting Boston any time soon, the answer was no, but we could make plans! And so I found my way there in mid-November. We were hoping to catch the tail end of autumn, which we got, but we also got the first snow of the season the…
I got to visit Dallas for the first time when I went to photograph Aileen and Jason’s family in the northern suburbs of the city. I am always so grateful to be working and to be traveling and of course happiest when both happen simultaneously! Here are some of the snapshots from my weekend exploring…
Hello, Cincinnati! It’s been two years since I last visited the land of my middle- and high school days. Of course my relationship to this city is totally different now as an adult. For one thing, I never actually explored downtown as a kid, instead just staying in my little suburban bubble, but for another,…
I was so excited to fly to Rhode Island to photograph Elizabeth & Louie’s wedding there in August. The only other time I’ve been to Rhode Island was also to photograph a college friend’s wedding in Newport five years earlier. Our stay was very brief that time, so this time around I booked an extra…
After my cousin’s wedding in Vancouver, some of us hopped on a ferry and headed to my aunt’s house in Victoria. It’s the capital of British Columbia and located on Vancouver Island, so the only ways to access it are by boat or by plane. I, for one, love this ferry ride! I managed…
