ANGELA B. PAN

Sun setting at the Tidal Basin.

This may have been about 10 minutes before I captured the lightning image. We were so incredibly lucky to get such an amazing sky for the meetup group last week. It couldn’t of been a better time. Drinks, friends, photography, and a gorgeous sky.

So about the fun week I’m about to have. As you’re reading this, I’m probably on my way down to Lake Anna for the week with the family. So excited to spend time in the sun and out on the boat!

Over the weekend Andrew and I took our nephews to Kings Dominion. It was tons of fun! We rode rollercoasters, played a few games, and even ate french fries for lunch AND dinner. My favorite rides are the ones that go upside down and I think it’s so fun to scream on the top of my lungs. By the end of the night my throat was hurting.

I have no idea what that has to do with this picture but I took this last night by the US Capitol.

I stopped to take a picture of this restaurant. It was so cute with the flowers in the windows. That’s what I remember most about Florence. The atmosphere and the feeling that you’re in a different century. Then a guy that looks a little bit like Anthony Bourdain zooms by and you can’t help but smile at the playback.

This I remember. Andrew and I were walking from our apartment in Paris to the bakery! I love croissants. I’m pretty sure I had 3 that day.

I honestly don’t remember taking this picture. It was taken sometime in 2010 when I was going to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens a lot to practice my macro photography work. Personally, I think macro photography is a completely different way of seeing. Seeing and noticing little details that you would never notice just walking by. But when you stop and study what you’re looking at, you have to learn to subtract to make an even better image with the small details.
