I remember taking this a little bit before the 4th of July. Probably July 3rd or something. I remember because this guy stopped me while I on top of the Lincoln steps and told me he had just finished watching my tutorial on how to take firework pictures. I thought it was so cool that he even remembered my name! We then talked about where we were going to take pictures for the holiday and other DC things. It was pretty cool.
A few weeks ago I went to Green Springs Garden from the recommendation of my friend, Daniela. I was so surprised to see these water lilies because they were so tall. They were almost as tall as me. The flowers were also kinda clumped in the middle of the water so it was hard to get close. I tried my best to step on rocks and things to get closer but if you were an observer watching me you would of seen this dark haired girl wobbling all over the place. In my head, I thought I was being aggressive in getting the shot I needed but in reality I probably looked a little drunk.
Officially back from an unforgettable weekend in Philly and DC. I’ve been smiling ear to ear thinking about all the fun times and people that I met.
First I met up with all my friends from the Arcanum. Erin, Jessica, Kim, Ron, AD, and Derek . Talk about surreal moment when there isn’t a computer screen in between us. I had a BLAST catching up and getting to know each other all at the same time 🙂 Thanks to Erin for your fun energy on the photowalk and Jessica for fixing my glasses! I don’t know what I would of done without your skills. Kim, Ron, AD, and Derek for walking around with me and just being my friend.
Then I met Trey and Curtis. Here’s a secret- they look EXACTLY the same as they do on the internet. It’s pretty crazy to give them hugs and have a few drinks with them. While you’re talking to them, you totally forget that they’re so popular and just think of them as regular cool people.
And meeting everyone else from the photowalk was so much fun 🙂 There were so many people at both photowalks that I’ve known online for so long but haven’t seen in a while or met for the first time. It made me so happy to be a part of such a fun community of awesome photographers.
And then my bestie got married the very next day!! AHHH overall the best weekend ever.
Home from such an amazing weekend. To all the people I met and all the new memories, I won’t forget this weekend for a long, long time.
The restoration project still going strong. Sad emoticon.
By the way, I’m in Philadelphia today for #TreyUSA! If you’re around come! If you’re in DC come tomorrow!
Another thing I need to do for the summer: Rent paddle boats.
