Jaunts around town in Philadelphia! I got to meet up with some old friends and also stepped inside the Masonic Temple for a tour. Looking out from the courtyard at Philly City Hall. Friends at the Parks on Tap beer garden pop-up in Shofuso Japanese Garden. Dinner with Colman & Amaris at Wm. Mulherin’s Sons…
When Elizabeth and Derek met at a college party, they hit it off immediately. She loves rugby. He plays rugby. He is a total film nerd. She was a film major. They also discovered a shared love of books, Berkeley, history, and architecture. So when it came time to be wed, there was no more perfect spot…
Blog followers might recognize Bethany and Bryan from their super sweet proposal by the Golden Gate Bridge back in April. In the few months that have passed, Bethany has moved from Kentucky to join Bryan in San Francisco, ending years of long distance, and they’ve both settled in to their new lives together. I was thrilled to get…
This is the final post of my five-part series on Morocco! As soon as we returned from our desert excursion and got back to Fes, we loaded up our car and continued north for another 4 hours to head to the town of Chefchaouen, known for its blue buildings. We wandered the blue alleys, collecting…
When we booked the two-day one-night excursion from Fes to the desert, I don’t think it occurred to any of us to check how far away the desert was. Turns out, it’s about 7-8 hours each way. Far. But the four of us, Godwin, Liz, Justin, and I piled in to the car, and our…
It’s a maze of a city, with narrow, meandering alleys and high walls all around. We initially thought we might just wander and explore Fes ourselves, but as soon as we arrived and saw what we were in for, we quickly changed our minds and joined the walking tour that Godwin had booked for the next…
We piled into the Nissan Pathfinder, six people in the seven-seater and all our luggage strapped on top, and we departed Marrakesh, which was no small feat, with Godwin pulling some very impressive maneuverability skills through the very narrow alleys of the medina. Our destination for day three was Fes, a six-hour drive, but with an afternoon…
We awoke promptly at six in the morning and drove north from our quick overnight in Seattle up to Anacortes, Washington. We drove the car straight onto a boat– a strange sensation if you’ve never done it before– and we were ferried through picturesque islands toward Victoria, British Columbia. Victoria is the capitol city of British…
Everything about La Sagrada Familia is incredible. Part of my awe is of course owed to the building itself, with its utterly unprecedented forms and endless elements of craftsmanship and symbolism on every surface and in every corner. But I am also left with this lingering thought… What is it that allowed Gaudi to become…
I am so excited to share this third edition of my 2014 personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. We’ll get to see each other work; we’ll explore how different or similar our styles might be; and we can challenge…
i am back! it’s like coming home, really. everything is just as familiar as always. it’s strange, because it seems like no time has elapsed since i last visited. i just fall right back into the pace of life here… oh, college. i flew in to run a workshop for the itasa (taiwanese american) conference……
