After a few days in Prague, I jumped on a 5 hour bus ride to explore a bit of Slovakia. Bratislava, the capital city, was not exactly what I would have expected, but it was still interesting to notice the difference in architecture from Prague. I spent two full days here mostly wandering the streets - as I had done in Prague - and taking street photos, really trying to get a feel for the city.
Prague [Czech Republic]
When I looked up the “best Christmas markets in Europe” one of the most consistently mentioned location was Prague. So, without knowing much about the city and not knowing anyone living there, I booked a flight to Prague and a bed in a hostel. I spent about 5 days in this city and planned basically nothing. My time was largely spent wandering the streets — oftentimes at night.
Seaux CHILL
In the summer of 2014 I worked for a few months in Chattanooga, TN. I was given free housing with five other guys, and we all shared two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. One of those guys was Nabil. He had just graduated high school and was about to enter his freshman year at the college that I had just graduated from. I don't remember when it happened but sometime during that summer he mentioned that he was had written some music, and I listened to his first album. It was unlike anything I'd heard before, a kind of mixture of jazz and hip hop, and I still have trouble describing his music to people today. I could see his passion for his music, and have watched it get better and better over the last four years. Nabil (a.k.a. Seaux Chill) has been chasing this dream of his at the same time as being a full-time student and I have seen some of the fruit of his labor as he gets shows all over the city. I had the opportunity to do a quick photoshoot with him last week and here are some of the images. Enjoy!
Washington, D.C.
I spend a weekend this month in Washington, D.C. because of a particular concert I wanted to attend. I decided that I would take the opportunity of being in a big city to do some street photography, and here are some of the results.
Mostly taken with my Canon 700d, a few taken with iPhone 8+.
Maui [Hawaii]
Stop number two was Maui. I was lucky enough to spend three weeks on the island spending time with friends both new and old. Sometimes it's difficult for me to take good photos when I'm just trying to act as a guide and show others the beauty Maui has to offer. Fortunately, I was still able to capture a few, and here they are.
Kauai [Hawaii]
First stop of my 9 week trip was to the incredible island of Kauai. I stayed with some friends for about two weeks, and spent as much time photographing the beauty of the island as I could. Unfortunately, it rained heavily for the majority of the two weeks and so I was unable to get as many photos as I had hoped. In any case, enjoy my photographic journal of Kauai!
Welti Falls [Alabama]
It snowed in Alabama. So, naturally, I decided to go find a waterfall. Unfortunately there wasn't much snow at the actual falls, but it still made for some nice lighting.
Jackson County [North Carolina]
A friend of mine, Matt Van Swol, was hired by a tourism company to take a trip to Jackson County, North Carolina to take some photos for them and promote them through his instagram page. He texted me and asked if I wanted to join, and of course I said yes. This is a sampling of his photos and mine (any photos without my watermark were taken by him).
