ANGELA B. PAN

Guess where? Don’t look at the title.

For Christmas I got two pretty awesome gifts.

1. I got a JBL portable bluetooth speaker. I love it because it’s splashproof too. That means I can blast music while I’m taking a shower. Before I’d have to turn my iphone up as loud as I could and place it as close to the shower as I could without getting it wet. It was just not very happenin’. Now my music is so loud that I can’t even hear it when Andrew tries to tell me something. hehehe.

2. I also got a kindle. This was a complete surprise and I never thought I’d like it but this little device is pretty cool. I can read it in bed without turning on the lights but I can also drop it in my purse and take it anywhere. I’m currently reading Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir and its pretty hilarious. Like I’ll literally laugh out loud while I’m reading it. Let me know if you have any books you’d recommend for my kindle. I want to start a list.

A kind of different view of the Golden Gate Bridge. From this angle it looks so teeny tiny but I think it’s really cool to see how it stands compare to the rest of the city.

Another awesome view of from Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Its fun to bring your zoom lens up there. You never know what compositions you’ll find. I love the layers upon layers in this image. Something you probably won’t see in Virginia. HAHA.

Home from an amazing trip out west. I still feel like I’m recovering from the lack of sleep I got and all the fun I was having. So this weekend is reserved for rest and photo editing 🙂

Here’s an image I took on my second day in San Francisco. I headed up to Twin Peaks for sunrise and was surprised to see about 10 other people already there. Half of them were there for photography while the other half had obviously been there all night partying. So this lead to some interesting conversations about UFOs, moroccan food, and Lucy Liu. Don’t ask. I have no idea either.

I didn’t get to talk to this woman but I’m positive she has some interesting stories of her own 🙂

Here are 3 things that made me so happy this past week:

1. Connecting with friends from the Arcanum and all our photo adventures

2. Meeting Anelise in real life and surprising Ana at her awesome new store in Sacramento

3. Climbing down a steep hill in Muir Woods with Kyle and his wife Danielle to take some funny pictures with trees. More about that one later.
