August was about travel.. new experiences.. miles upon miles with just four wheels to take me where I needed to go. It was a good month. A great month. A month that I would put on repeat in my iTunes for hours on end if i could.
I tried to breathe in each moment, travel light & SEE. My iPhone was my main camera…
with some polaroids thrown in for good measure…
(my Instaback is horribly temperamental but this trip is was absolute perfection except for the four images I took at the border of Area 51… hmmm… true story)
And, of course, there was some real camera time to be had. I stopped in Carlsbad to hang out with Renee. We had a quick 4 hours to talk, talk, talk & a mini-session (gotta do that)…
and MORE…
