Farewell, U.S.A.
In wrapping up my time here in Raleigh I have felt the need to live life to the fullest that I possibly can and document as much of it as possible; I would hate to regret not making the most of my time once I move to Madrid. As such, I have kept plenty busy since the end of August. I’ve kept a physical
Eclipse 2017: Totality in North Carolina
The eclipse had been on my calendar for eight months before August 21– I am quite a space nerd, and I was not going to miss the chance to see the sun fully eclipsed by the moon. I was so happy to learn that the path of totality cut through the southwestern tip of North Carolina! My brother Ford stayed at the Ironhorse lodge near Robbinsville
Saturday Sunset Portraits
Spring is upon us here in western North Carolina! Snow and ice are melting, brooks are babbling, and the temperature is consistently warmer. (Luckily, we haven’t been bombarded with pollen… yet!) I had been itching to create a few portraits and seized the opportunity as soon as I could. I drove out to Trash Can Falls with a few new friends to explore and
Foggy Finds
The paved road gave way to gravel, which in turn gave way to slimy mud full of tire tracks. Small puddles lined the side of the road. This was the first time I had been exploring as a resident of Boone– I was astonished that a short mile off the road revealed such raw, woodsy terrain. I felt a bit of apprehension as my
Best of 2016
1 January 2017 New Year’s Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on the past, plan for the future, and nurse the worst hangover of the year. Thinking back on the last twelve months turned out to be a bit overwhelming– 2016 brought a lot of fun, a lot of change, and a lot of growth. My life now is wildly different from what
More Mountains – Land of the Sky
Boone, NC || 11 Oct 2016 I was fortunate enough to have both Sunday and Monday off from work this week, so I took the opportunity to embark on another short journey out west. I ended up in Boone, NC yet again. I love the small-town feel, I love the mountains, and I love the chill in the air. My sister and brother-in-law were
North Carolina Museum of Art
Raleigh || 2 October 2016 October has begun and I could not be more excited about it! Any day now I will be enjoying the crisp air, changing leaves, and not sweating through my shirts even day. I have even started decorating for Halloween– my golden skull candle is displaying itself proudly on my desk (as if it hasn’t been there all year) ((it
Beloved Boone
Boone, NC || 7 September 2016 After following her for almost a mile, the forest opened up to a grassy field. I was speechless. I had the opportunity to visit a few college friends in the mountains over Labor Day weekend. We shopped around in downtown and went hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Boone is the home of Appalachian State University, known most
December
Raleigh || 29 December 2015 This time last year was one of major change in my life. I had just moved to Boston, I was starting my transferred job, and I was operating outside of a school-centric schedule for the first time. As such, I wanted to document my growth over the year so that I had something to look back on. I took
