Chief Mukuni Village (Zambia)

6/16/2016

0 Comments

 
I visited Chief Mukuni Village in Livingtone, Zambia (Africa) with some of my USC classmates.  We got to see how they live in the village, buy locally made crafts, and hang out with the cutest kids! 

They raise goats and chickens for food, have gardens, hang dry clothes, have separate huts for sleeping and for cooking, and even sprout seeds to make yeast for beer.

I took a roadtrip with one of my best friends through the southwest region and I absolutely fell in love with the desert!  We started in Salt Lake City to celebrate St. Patrick's day and left the following morning on a 6 hour drive to Page, AZ home of Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend.  We then headed to Bryce Canyon for a day, and Zion National Park for 2 days, then back to Salt Lake City.

The Bahamas

A quick weekend in the sun to avoid the winter blues with 3 friends.  We hit the beaches, relaxed with some coconut drinks, and went parasailing! 

Overall, I would much rather go somewhere else tropical than back to the Bahamas, however the beaches were quite amazing and the price I paid for the entire trip was just too worth it!   Freeport + Nassau.

Paros, Greece

12/16/2015

0 Comments

 
Paros is a less tourist traveled island in Greece.  I am so glad I went here because everything was just perfect!

To start, the locals are SUPER friendly and love to hang out!  It is a relaxed lifestyle on Paros.

The streets are beautiful stone lined with pink flowering trees.  Just like every other part of Greece, there are plenty of cats and kittens to follow you around. 

There is plenty of hiking, different styles of beaches, and lots of things to do outdoors.   Take a look to see for yourself..

Athens, Greece

12/7/2015

0 Comments

 

I started my tour of Greece off by spending two days in Athens.  I highly recommend spending 1-2 full days in Athens if you are headed out to the Greek islands afterwards.  I think you can see it all in a full day if you wanted.  Here are some of the areas I saw and things I would recommend:
  • The Acropolis museum (5 euros) - go here before you go to the Acropolis.  Watch the video upstairs and then make your way through the museum.  You will learn alot about the history of the Acropolis.
  • The Acropolis.  Buy this at the main gate below the Parthenon for 12 euros and you will get entrance into all of the areas.  See the Parthenon, ancient Agora (gardens and ruins) as well as various other highlights and temples. 
  • Grab some food and do some shopping in the Plaka
  • Head towards the temple of Zeus and national gardens.  There is plenty to see on that strip of road.
  • Stroll in the areas around Syntagma square
  • If you are staying a second day you could do a day trip to Delphi and see the ruins along the ocean

I headed home to Seattle this summer for my brother's wedding and a photography workshop.  Along the way I did all the touristy things downtown that I never did while I lived there, stayed in the Olympic Mountains, hiked, ate Ivars on the water, went to Eastern WA and saw my family.  

Here are some photos from the trip!

Behind the Scenes at Alpine NW

9/17/2015

0 Comments

 
I spent a gorgeous August weekend in the hilltops of the Olympic Mountains at the Alpine NW photography workshop, lead by Jordan Voth, Taylor McCuthchan, and Noelle Johnson at beautiful Lake Crescent.

There were two shoots incorporated.  Check out my take on them!  
Brittni + Trent
Zane + Yela

I wanted to show a little behind the scenes here on my blog of the things I did and learned...

Noelle lead us up mountain tops...

Jordan showed us how to become one with nature...

We talked product placement...

Spent our downtime playing on Lake Crescent...

Learned editing styles....

My take on the editing we walked through was that Jordan's is very simple and to the point.  Taylor takes a different approach and likes to play around with different styles depending on the photos. 

Jordan taught us that the best shots come from some tricky places...

Picture
Picture

We saw "That NW Cabin" that got so "instafamous"...

Picture
Picture

And we went to a couple rad locations for our shoots...

Picture

So if you're looking for a mix of learning & adventure - Alpine NW is the place for you

I spent 5 days in the heart of Times Square with my cousin and uncle and did so many things that NYC has to offer!  Such a fun and exciting trip in a city that never sleeps. 

We checked out the Met, the Museum of National History, Central Park, Little Italy, SOHO, took a carriage ride at 1 am, took a helicopter ride around the city and statue of liberty, went to the top of the Empire State Building, and explored the many streets, restaurants, bars and shops.

Stingrays

There was a sandbar about a 35min speed boat ride out into the sea where the sand was raised so high you could stand and be about waist deep.  Apparently, fisherman used to come here to clean off their fish and overtime the stingrays started gathering here, waiting, eating, and hanging out with the fisherman.
