I was thrilled to visit Los Angeles when Suleen brought me down for her beautiful elopement. I had been feeling like I was overdue for a trip to LA anyway, and I loved that this all lined up. Since it was the middle of wedding season I had fun turning the trip into a workation,…
It’s time for part two of our week in Alaska! Passing back through Anchorage for brunch, we headed north towards Denali for part two of our Alaska trip. Our first stop was Talkeetna, an absolutely adorable little town filled with shops and restaurants. Loved the town of Talkeetna! Birch bark baskets and handmade knives. Root…
Alaska: the final frontier. A while back, my friend Amy told me she’s been wanting to go to Alaska, and I responded that Alaska has been on my list too (then again, everything is on my list). Soon enough, we were planning a trip for this summer. Since Alaska is a gigantic state, four times…
At the end of May, I was thrilled to travel to Chicago to photograph a wedding. Since it was Memorial Day, I went ahead and extended my stay to a full week so I could wander around the city on my own time. Even though I grew up in the midwest and have visited Chicago…
We’ve reached the finale of our Switzerland adventures! Talya and I headed to Zurich for the last stop on our trip. She just had part of a day there, and I had about 24 hours. After checking in to my hotel, we went out to lunch at a place called Roots and Friends, which was…
It’s time to head for the Alps! This was the main goal of our Switzerland trip: to walk around in nature and breathe in that salubrious mountain air. Admittedly I was imagining springtime when I planned the trip for mid April, but while it was springtime in the cities, it was actually still winter up…
We continue to day two of my Swiss adventures! From Lucern I took the train over to Bern. Yes, this is a tiny bit out of sequence since it makes a neater loop to go Zurich – Lucern – Alps – Bern – Zurich, but due to some logistical constraints I decided to still visit…
Welcome to Switzerland! This whole visit was prompted by the fact that Icelandair bundles their flights so that a flight to Europe includes a stopover in Iceland for free– so I figured if I was going to Iceland I should really pick a destination to visit in Europe as well! I’d never been to Switzerland,…
We continue our journey around the Ring Road with part two of our Iceland adventures! As you may recall, Cassie and I closed out our epic third day of the trip in Hofn. We then continued on our counter-clockwise road trip around the country by visiting some small towns on the eastern side of the…
Like any sensible photographer-traveler, I have had my sights set on Iceland for quite some time. Neither Cassie nor I remember exactly how we started talking about Iceland with each other, but suddenly, as we are prone to doing, we had dates and flights and were making it happen. We were visiting in the beginning…
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…
