Quick cherry blossom update: They’re starting to bloom!! Most are still budding but you can find a few trees with blooms on them 🙂
By the way, have you guys tried Periscope? I periscoped for a little while bit while I was at the Cherry Blossoms today and had so much fun. Follow me and I’ll probably be doing more of it while I’m out shooting.
The cherry blossoms are coming! So excited to shoot them this year. I always find them a fun challenge. To try to come up with something new that hasn’t been seen before but also to really showcase their beauty.
While everyone is waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom in the city, I was out over the weekend checking out the Magnolia trees. These trees are so beautiful and I love seeing them starting to bloom.
I’ve also been concentrating more on seeing what I love, simplicity and trying to stay true to my aesthetics. It’s not always shooting architecture with an amazing sky in the background. It’s about appreciating the little things in life that make me smile.
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.
