There are tons of cemeteries adjacent to each other in Queens in an area called the Cemetery Belt. There are so many cemeteries in this vicinity that my visit today barely scratched the surface! My mission was to try out my new camera and familiarize myself with the area for Read more…

The winter is the best time to plan summer travel. Taking action towards an escape, however distant, just makes me, afflicted with everlasting wanderlust, feel better. Because your happiness is worth some forethought, fill your travel with all that feeds your heart and soul. And book things—not everything but some Read more…

So there were more stars visible than Brooklyn, but the bright moon illuminated a Fall night that felt like summer. Like summer because there was a campfire, s’mores, fireworks, and a night shoot. Here my camera is set to capture the night… and the moon defies. A fire. This was Read more…
A brief jaunt in East Patchogue, Long Island would have food, fun and photographs. To follow, some highlights of the area… if you happen to like vegan food, nature and cemeteries like me. Door dashed my breakfast because who the heck wants to get dressed and jump in the car Read more…

If the moon wants to glow bright, I won’t complain, as I have been. Tonight, far from Brooklyn, it’s her I capture. Because she won’t have it any other way. Because I have no idea how and that’s alluring. Because I’ve been taking her for granted, resenting her light. And Read more…

{It’s My Party 🎉, Part 6} My birthday excursion was packed with all of my favorite things, but reality returns tomorrow. The last day had me finally seeing downtown Cleveland and getting back into the foliage just a short drive from my motel in Richfield. The truth is that I consulted Read more…

{It’s My Party 🎉, Part 4} As I headed to Avon, Ohio I knew it may be a futile endeavor. As October is wrapping up surely there will be no more blooms at the massive sunflower field, Maria’s Field of Hope–a beautiful display of activism spreading awareness about the need for Read more…

{It’s My Party 🎉, Part 1} When I thought about where I’d whisk myself off to for (triple prepositions!) my birthday, I asked myself, “Self, what would make your special day enjoyable?” To which I responded, “Being far away and on my own, a national park, an old cemetery, lots Read more…

Though I have several tragic flaws, the complete lack of a voice of reason exhausts me as much as it brings me excitement and joy. So while I recover from driving more hours in the last two days than I slept, some gorgeous shots of why Autumn is my favorite Read more…

A quick trip to Western New York would of course mean a scouring of vegan options. As is the nowadays, there was so much to try. Veganism is thriving everywhere these days. Not only at my destination, but on stops along the way. Like at 96 Lives Vegan Bakery & Read more…

Day 18 would be my last adventure… the Assateague Island National Seashore, the barrier island shared by Virginia and Maryland where feral horse roam freely. Wild horses. If that is not enough, the beach is beautiful and washes up a slew of shells. I hit the shoreline early as the Read more…

The day would start in a place far from where it would end, in West Palm Beach’s budding downtown–within its brightly colored murals and instagram opportunities, its hip eateries. In the span of just a few hours I was within Florida’s “Prairie”–its cowboy apparel stores, fields of grazing cows who Read more…

The Banyan Tree is pretty spectacular. It’s one of my favorite things. Those aerial roots that look like dripping liquid wood, its enormity… how can these trees just be hanging around regular streets without a crowd of people taking pictures of their amazing limbs. I mean besides us.
Phipps Ocean Park is the perfect beach. I have never seen the Atlantic Ocean like this. Bright and clear turquoise waters, shells, soft sands, pretty fishies, empty, free before 1 pm, and close by. And I was pleased to have a bit more success with the snorkeling equipment in the Read more…

The potential of one day is pretty mind-blowing. Waking up in our adorable green pastel RV in Key Largo’s Sunset Cove Resort we headed to the renowned John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the country’s first undersea park. Though our snorkeling tour had been cancelled the previous day due to Read more…

After a day of convalescence, I was back on the road… but this time with a co-pilot! We would be heading south to the Florida Keys, a neat opportunity to drive off the continuous United States for some tropical beauty. An important stop on the itinerary was the Turtle Hospital Read more…

Today would take me to my 25th National Park! The only one of Florida’s three National Parks that is accessible by car, Everglades National Park. I also start my quick journey East. But first, a healthy breakfast at Delicious Raw Kitchen & Juice Bar in Naples. Like the name implies, Read more…

A shelling excursion on a remote island only accessible by boat? Just: Yes. A quick drive to Marco Island would have me within the most beautiful hues of green and blue… and more shells. But also dolphins and an abandoned dome-shaped home. First I had some errands at the campsite. Read more…

Real quick: I photographed the gosh darned Milky Way 🌌 last night. I needed to say that first as it would not have happened if the earlier parts of the day played out differently. So the 2-hour traffic delay on the I-75, the extended shelling expedition at Bowman’s Beach, losing track Read more…

Blog back-up makes me uneasy. Each day is a million adventures, so just two days ago is a million miles away. But Day 6, yes. Speaking to what I took pictures of is a helpful system, but it doesn’t indicate a lot of the important feelings I am having on Read more…

A peaceful morning in the swamp wouldn’t last all that long as I hit the road once again, enduring nonstop torrential downpours. Now… this rain… it is starting to damper my days! I continue to honor my itinerary, but it is just much more… soggy. But I guess the moisture Read more…

Today would be day of driving, mostly. Its daylight hours started in North Carolina and ended in Georgia… in a cabin in a swamp. Which means tomorrow I’ll be in Florida! And maybe I’ll get some consistent sun? It seems everyday I’ve had erratic weather. Mostly because I spent these Read more…

I needed a day like today. I needed to be within nature, not just passing by and jumping back in my car. On this Day 3 I hiked to waterfalls and to what felt like, incline-speaking, the altitude of heaven… if the road maps are accurate. But first, on my Read more…

I slept soundly in my car on night one. And even though I forgot to bring my pillow from home, I woke up with no aches or cricks anywhere. I quickly packed up my site to head south… I will be heading souther and souther everyday starting this new day. Read more…

With a few successful astrophotography shoots under my belt, mostly dealing with composition, I was ready to attempt to capture the : ::motion:: : of the sky–stars that shoot. The Perseid Meteor Shower, an annual display of displaced comet debris, offered such an opportunity. So I’d be packing up my Read more…
