A trip to the Lone Star State

Hello friends! This past week I did a bit of traveling. I am a person who loves to travel and I am fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to travel to different places. Traveling is enjoyable because it allows you to get out and explore a new location! I flew to Texas on March 10 to attend a wedding of a family friend. Texas is a special place for me because I lived there for 10 years before moving to Midland in the Summer of 2014. We stayed in Houston and I got to go around the city and do some of my favorite things. Many of these things activities included food that i can't get in Michigan ( Mexican, seafood, Chick-fil-a) .I visited the Biscuit Paint Wall for the first time, which is just a wall that an artist has dripped paint down the side. This wall makes the perfect place for a photo  op to practice using my photography skills.

Of course I had to get someone snap a picture of me in front of the wall  PC: Ryan Collick

Another picture of my brother, surprise surprise!

















Another big attraction in Houston is the Williams Tower and the Waterwall. Neither of these places ever struck out to me while living in Houston because I was used to seeing them. Now going back to visit I see why people think of these an attraction.























 



The two places I got cool photos of both are walls, pretty weird right? I tried to take a lot of photos while in Houston but my camera battery fried out and would not charge for some reason. I didn't learn any new photography tricks but I did take some pretty decent photos.

My biggest goal of the project to to create a travel video of my trip to Costa Rica during spring break!  Costa Rica is also filled with many picture worthy spots and wildlife. I can't wait to take some super cool shots of the sloths that hang out at the hotel grounds or the sunsets that happen daily. With spring break quickly approaching (only four more days!!)  I have been looking at other peoples videos and Instagram profiles to get inspiration for my upcoming trip.

The next time I write will be after my long awaited trip!

    What beautiful, photo-worthy places! I'm glad you had a great time! I like the detail and reflection you put into your posts. I can clearly hear your voice. I'm still curious about what your plans are for photography and what you are learning. Maybe you can clue me in on some of these things in future posts. Also, you may want to go back and capitalize that "i":) Looking forward to seeing things through your lens!
