Teen Spirit

Yesterday I got to hang out with my friend and up-and-coming photographer, Luke Tew. Luke is such a cool guy, the only downfall of yesterday was the sunlight cut our shooting session short! But, with that being said, we'll definitely be shooting again soon. In the meantime, enjoy what we managed to snag and go feast your eyes on his work!

String State

I'm pretty proud of this DIY. I managed to do the entire thing without any headaches or mess ups! I made it for my friend, Sully, who moved across the state earlier this year after being my best bud since the fourth grade. I think it got the point across.

Eyes East

There were so many beautiful sunrises on my trip. I felt they needed their own post. Nothing can really beat the sun's early greeting over an endless sea.

Grand Cayman

Our last stop was to the Grand Cayman Islands. Coconuts, turtles, stingrays, and literal Hell. It was nice. The islands were absolutely beautiful and the people were so welcoming. We went to the sea turtle farm on the main island, which we quickly found out that the people actually farmed the turtles as their main protein source back in the day but since has become a conservation for the sweet little (big) turtles. (A quick side note: don't hate me, but I loved the turtles so much they're getting their own post, so hold your horses until tomorrow.) Afterwards we took a boat ride out into the middle of the ocean to swim with, feed, hug and kiss, yes kiss, stingrays! They were so stinking cute and I want one as a pet. I mean, I could keep it in the bath tub or something right? The whole experience was awesome and I stuffed myself way too much with coconut water/meat. It was a great day.

Jamaican Beer Can

Jamaica, I love you. It was so wild and exciting. My family and I got real jerk chicken, learned to speak Patois, and went swimming on horseback in the ocean. It was absolutely killer. Also I got a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and am now convinced one has never had coffee until they've had that. Most of my photos were snapped while on the go, being that I couldn't take my camera in the ocean while being tossed around on a 5'7'' bareback Jamaican stallion! Nonetheless I got a few good ones. Jamaica is definitely a place I need to stay for two or three weeks. There was so much exploration to be done. I could go on for hours...
