So, I was walking along the Vietnam Veterans Memorial when I noticed someone had placed these carnations every few steps. I thought it was so beautiful that I had to find a creative way to capture it. I could of taken it straight from eye level but this deserved something different.
I took this shot right before I left to Philly. You know how it is before you leave for a trip. You get so busy running errands and making sure you have everything in order before you leave, so I didn’t have time to process any of these images.
I remember this being a super peaceful morning. I tried walking to the Lincoln Memorial a different way then I’m used to so I could see if I could find a new POV. Then I thought about the beautiful engraving on the steps. I was so concentrated on trying to get this shot, I didn’t even realize there were some army guys working out on the bottom of the steps. All of the sudden they all started charging up the steps. Well Good Morning to you guys too 😉
Thanks to my new friend, Sam who showed me around the Comcast building while I was in Philly. Seriously amazing views from the top. I got so excited I pulled out my camera before I could even talk to anyone.
While I was in Philadelphia, I spent most of my time at the University of Pennsylvania. I remember visiting the campus a while ago when my cousin was an undergrad there but haven’t been back since. I LOVED the campus. At first I loved how close all the colleges were together (Drexel, Penn, Wharton) but then while I was walking around I feel in love with the community. Everyone is so nice and friendly. I felt like I was home. The campus itself was beautiful and very clean. I also liked how there were plenty of shops and restaurants in the area to keep me entertained.
Home from Philly and it was a blast! I wish I could of stayed longer but hope to visit again sometime soon.
Luckily, my friend Michele lives in Philly and was able to meet me up for a lunch date. She’s an artist as well and thought that I would love the Urban Outfitters Headquarters. She was right! I’ve never seen such a beautifully decorated office and it’s right in the Navy Yard so the vibe was totally awesome. Couldn’t you just sit in this little magazine reading area forever? I want to lay down and stare at those flowers.
Although I love the flowers, I think the guy’s facial expression is my favorite part of the picture. I didn’t even notice he was looking at me while I was taking the picture. I saw it while I was editing it in Photoshop. HAHA!
Another amazing view of another amazing room.
