ANGELA B. PAN

Who said you cant see the stars in the city? You just gotta keep your eyes on the sky.

Theres this special moment in the day. I don’t know if it happens everyday but if you’re lucky you’ll see it. As the sun is setting behind the Lincoln Memorial, about 10 minutes before it goes all the way down, the Washington Monument illuminates. Most people are facing the Lincoln and checking out the beautiful sky there, but if you take a quick second to turn around the Washington Monument is so beautiful and colorful. It always makes me smile.

Almost makes the rain worth it. Almost.

I was on my way home when I was passing by the Iwo Jima memorial. It was pouring but I figured I’d wait around to see what would happen. Luckily as soon as I arrived, there was a break in the rain. I ran as fast as I could and grabbed a few shots. I was super lucky that one of them got this little lightning strike. I don’t know which is more surprising, the fact that this was hand held or that I barely got wet trying to get it. Both are a win to me 🙂

I was suppperrrr jet lagged when we came back from Japan. I’d wake up around 4a everyday not knowing what to do. Usually I’d just lay in bed for a few hours hoping to fall back to sleep but one morning I decided to get up and check out the scene at the tidal basin. The cherry blossoms were peaking while we were gone, so I’m glad to have captured just the last bit of them before they all went away.

Let’s be real. Probably instagramming.
