ANGELA B. PAN

What an absolutely amazing week! It just reaffirms the fact that photography is what I’m meant to do in life and I could not be more appreciative to be doing what I love every single day.

With that said, I have a lot of things to be grateful for, so here are my top 3 for the week:

1. So thankful to have received such kind messages about this image I took 3 years ago at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial

2. The pink sky from the image above is a part of the official movie poster for “The Choice“. I could not be more thrilled to have worked with Lionsgate Entertainment to bring this Nicholas Sparks adaptation to life.

3. Finally! My Sphere 2 experience will be opened next week in the Arcanum!!! I’m so pumped. It’s going to be absolutely amazing. The whole sphere will be about getting more attention from your landscape images and it’s going to be awesomes.

If you saw me this morning than you would of seen a girl with a tripod sprinting across Constitution Ave because the sunrise was AMAZING!!! I got to the Lincoln Memorial and had never seen it so pink before. The light from the sky, reflecting off the reflecting pool must of been so bright and strong that it made everything pink. Even these big workout guys stopped to watch. It was incredible.

Speaking of incredible the response to the Vietnam Memorial image from yesterday was absolutely mind blowing. Thank you all so much for the kind messages and comments. I’m going to spend some time today to try to get back to everyone. Thank you so much.

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.

I’m one of those annoying people who always forgets to bring their headphones so I start blasting my music from my iPhone while I’m out taking pictures. I’m like a walking boombox! So a lot of the times if you hear some Beyonce playing, it’s probably me. #hotlinebling

Well this has been a fall-tastic week and I enjoyed every single minute of it. That’s why this week’s 3 things are all related to autumn.

1. Great Falls Park’s amazing sunset earlier this week 
2. And that glow thou 
3. A super foggy morning made for a super peaceful morning at the Tidal Basin

Hope you all have time to go out this weekend and enjoy the colorful leaves!

Sometimes people will come up to me and be like, “Angela, where’s a good place to go in DC to shoot fall colors.”
Then I’ll go, “Well, tidal basin is one of my favorites. The Cherry Blossom trees are great in the spring but they’re really awesome in the fall time too.”
Than the other person will go, “Hey Thanks! I never thought about that. You’re really smart.”
And then I’ll go, “You’re welcome 🙂 Glad I could help!”

And that’s how a typical conversation will go when talking about autumn in DC…. or maybe I just made that up in my head because I drank too much coffee this morning. Either way, I’m entertained.
