Hello Friends and Family, Travelers, Photographers, Visitors and the Curious. I am so glad you’re here!
I’m crazy thankful for all that 2016 has offered and feel crazy lucky to live the life I lead. While I would have much preferred alternative outcomes to many things this year, I feel nothing but joy ringing in the new year.
2017 will be a big one for me.
My posts have fallen short since Antarctica as I settled into my day-to-day and into the comfortable routine of life and work. But it’s time to shake things up...
Starting January 11th through April 11th, I will be a taking a huge amount of time off to travel the world and do what I love most - photography!
Here's where I'm going:
- Camping on a safari drive in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa
- Shooting frozen landscapes & the auroras in Iceland
- Sailing on a catamaran in Phuket, Thailand & the Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar
- Traversing the South Island of New Zealand with Sam
I've chosen these destinations very intentionally, starting with the most "out of my comfort zone" leading up to the longest and most comfortable. It was important for me to visit reasonably diverse places that each have a special and unique personality - but are also deeply meaningful to me in one way or another.
Each destination will center around photography, of course, and I'm excited to see what themes develop while I'm out there: from culture and wildlife and ice (again!) and tropical landscapes.
I can't wait to practice my craft this way - and refocus for a moment before ultimately deciding what's next.
I hope you can join me here (subscribe!), on Medium, Instagram, and Twitter as I share these adventures, before, during and after and share the impact that each adventure will have on my photography and my spirit.
I’ll be back in between each trip for some relaxing time at home with Sam, some reflection and lots of editing, storytelling a bite-sized Medium posts.
The time for change is now and I can’t wait to tell you more as I leap forward.
xoxo,
Allison
