ANGELA B. PAN

Don’t you feel so small? Like the world is so big and theres so much going around you but you’re just this teeny tiny person trying to make it in the world. That’s what I feel like when I look at this image. And to add some additional perspective, see if you can find the couple amongst the trees.

Who’s excited for Halloween? I have big plans for the weekend involving a Frankenstein puppy dressed up as a bear as we go trick-or-treating with my nephews. My nephews are 11 and 9 now. Do you think they’re too old to have their aunt and uncle go with them? The best part of halloween is after they’re done trick-or-treating, I get to raid all their candy and keep the chocolates for myself 🙂

I’m also meeting up with some local Arcanum friends and shooting the Arlington Cemetery. Love the cemetery at this time of the year. The trees are beautiful and thought it would be fitting considering the holiday.

Here are three things that I was grateful this week:

1. Home for all the fall leaves to be changing. Love this time of year 🙂
2. Loving this year’s Dynamic DC calendar. They’re almost sold out!
3. This makes me laugh.

Went out with my intern, Jon a few days ago to shoot Rock Creek Park.  If you follow me on SnapChat (abpanphoto) you would of seen that I fell in the creek 🙁 The lower part of my legs got completely drenched and I have a nice bruise from the occasion but thats what you get when you’re trying to be proactive to get the shot. This was NOT the shot I was trying to get but hey, you can’t win them all.

When I go to Taiwan I love to get my hair washed at the hair salon. You can’t do that in the states without getting a haircut or something but you can get your hair washed for less than $5 USD. It’s like a hair wash and head massage all at the same time and I LOVE getting my head massaged. So really it’s a dream and then have they blow dry and style your hair for you after all is done.

This one particular time I was talking to the guy who was washing my hair, just small talk stuff but he could tell I’m not from Taiwan. He asked where I was from and I said America. He immediately goes “ohh Kobe Bryant!” and I was like, “yes Kobe Bryant! Do you know how to say anything else in English?” He didn’t. HAHA

I know Ive said it before but I’ll say it again that it feels good to be home. The past week I spent a lot of time editing photos and just resting. I’m pretty sure I slept more this past week than I have this past month.

Here are 3 things I was grateful for:

1. My bed- although I don’t remember this ever happening before 
2. Catching up with my Arcanum cohort and welcoming a new apprentice!
3. Spending time working on my Taiwan photos like this one- a typical scene of Taipei streets.

Have a great weekend <3
