Sorry @rambo @missy and @lyxzen I promise more @bloghomework soon..As mentioned in my Time Capsule assignment, I'd get more specific with the travel details for my upcoming Transatlantic trip. On Sunday evening we fly out to Dublin to begin a six week trek spanning over hopefully three different countries. Part business and part pleasure and fortuitously happening based on a house swap with an Irish family who live in a seaside resort town of Dublin called Sandycove where our starting point will be. Known for the Forty Foot, a famous bathing place formerly only available to gentlemen.
I wasn't sure if I should one long post covering my travels or if I should break it up a bit since part of the planning is still in the works and the most concrete part of the trip so far is my time in Ireland. I've never been to Ireland before and am super psyched to nerd out a bit for at least the first couple days and explore some of Dublin's history. We haven't decided if whether we are gonna rent our car once we arrive and explore some of Northern Ireland as well or just take it easy and solely rely of what sort of trains are available in Dublin instead. As far as SG shoots go while there, I'm keeping my fingers crossed an opportunity to collaborate with the gorgeous @undead . If there is anyone in the Dublin area who either have other suggestions or are interested in shooting together during the week I'm in town, please connect with me and we can try and coordinate something. I just saw that @megan is traveling somewhere in Ireland too, maybe our paths will cross as well while abroad.
Once we finish up our week in Dublin we are heading to beautiful town of Cork for a couple. I am beyond myself excited, I've already connected with the lovely ladies @missivy @shaunanyx and @einin and will be shooting some fun stuff together with them as well as hopefully some new sets for SG.
I should also mention during my travels, I will be continuing a yoga photo project I started around this time last year collaborating and connecting with yogis throughout my travels. It's called
#SongOfTheOpenRoad inspired by the Walt Whitman poem, the aim of this project is to create new connections within both the yoga and art community while capturing the natural beauty of how the body moves and can become one with the earth in one's practice..At the end of the trip I will finally be compiling the year's worth of photos shot throughout my travels into a book.
My hope during this time abroad is to get an opportunity to connect and hopefully collaborate with SGs and hopefuls. Even if you're not needing a new set to add to the queue, maybe we can come up with some fun ideas to collaborate on for some photos. If you're interested please either DM me here or shoot me an email at

Stay tuned for my next update, we head to the United Kingdom or whatever it's going to be called after England's split from the EU..Nonetheless I'm super excited and am looking forward to coordinating a mini shootfest with @tripodski not to mention, I think we're gonna be in London for the Blackheart Burlesque showš
@rambo @missy @lyxzen thanks for my shameless plug and please if you can think of anywhere else I should go, recommendations are welcomešš¼
