The main reason for me going to San Francisco was to attend Trey Ratcliff’s photowalk. So much fun to hang out with my Arcanum friends and meet new ones. This image was taken along the walk. Pretty awesome POV along the Embarcadero.
I imagine if I were a guy, this is what I’d look like from behind. After I was done taking my DSLR images, Ill out my iPhone and take a few pics with that. I always text them to Andrew. I don’t know why. I think it’s partly to let him know I’m ok but also to show him all the cool stuff he’s missing out on, like an approaching storm thats about to hit the Washington Monument.
Three things I was grateful for this week:
1. Being able to fly back to Taiwan and see family I haven’t seen in almost 8 years.
2. New found joy in Snapchat. Seriously, I’m having so much fun on there! (Username: abpanphoto)
3. Starting a new book called Creative Confidence. I’m currently reading it on the plane.
So this has got to be one of the most terrifying but super awesome things I’ve ever witnessed/photographed. All these birds started flying all at once, in no real direction but up. My ornithophobia definitely kicked in but I survived.
Speaking of flying, I’m probably in the air right now as you’re reading this. My family and I booked a super last minute trip to Taiwan to visit family. Don’t worry, I was able to schedule some posts to keep you busy while I’m gone. But I’ll also try my best to keep you updated on Instagram and Snapchat (username: abpanphoto), so make sure you’re following me on those social media sites as well 🙂
Another awesome view of from Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Its fun to bring your zoom lens up there. You never know what compositions you’ll find. I love the layers upon layers in this image. Something you probably won’t see in Virginia. HAHA.
Have you ever been to Clarion Alley in the Mission District in San Francisco? Talk about beautiful, inspirational and a place that I want to go back to again and again.
While we were walking through the alley and admiring the pieces, one of the local artists came up to us and started chatting us up about the mural project. Turns out that all the different murals are artists views of political and social issues and no other alley in the Mission district has that kind of distinction. Pretty freakin’ cool if you ask me.
So I guess this is a representation of our current social society.
Here’s an early morning view of the Golden Gate Bridge from Battery Spencer. This was the very first time I had ever visited this spot. There’s something so exciting about walking up the hill and finally seeing the Golden Gate right in front of you. It’s like when you’re so hungry and you finally get a big ol plate of fried chicken in front of you 🙂
