Charleston

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be able to squeeze in a two-day trip to Charleston, South Carolina on a short flight from DC. It was a solo trip with two goals: photography and restaurants. Charleston totally delivered on both. I couldn't even begin to try and adequately cover the amazing Charleston restaurant scene from one trip (but please go to the Hominy Grill if you go!), but I thought I'd post some of my favorite shots from the trip. 

Central Charleston is an extremely walkable and photogenic area, full of what seem like endless layers of historic houses, gardens, and parks, all of which feel cloaked in a layer of mystery from the natural environment of live oaks and Spanish moss.  

 

Chasing the Light in Phnom Penh

On a work trip to Phnom Penh, Cambodia last month, I was lucky enough to get a lazy Sunday to myself amidst a busy work schedule. I got out my camera and wandered over to a park surrounding the Independence Monument, which is in the middle of the city. The sun was setting, and families and young people were out, either playing soccer, sitting and enjoying the end of the weekend, or chasing each other around, as these two girls were. I love the energy of these, and they capture some of the magic of Phnom Penh.

Wisconsin

I'm one week back from vacation at home, including some very relaxing time at the lake in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a beautiful place in August - warm but not too hot, green everywhere, and the full of the scent of pine trees. One evening I got some great golden hour photos of the trees by the lake and my sister and Neko the dog.
