Jenny and I took an adventure. An adventure in our very own town. Technically, we were taking senior pictures and talking about all her future plans and dreams. But since I love adventure and adventure loves me, and since Jenny saw the adventures, too, our day in Winston-Salem turned into an adventure.
First, we hiked up four flights of stairs. In a parking garage. Did you know that the downtown Winston parking garage floors are numbered by musical instruments? So if you park your car there, all you have to do is say “I am playing the trumpet when I go find my car” and you’ll remember where you parked!
Then, we took a wrong turn and ended up in a not-so-pleasant side of town. Lets just say we high tailed it outta there. Fast. And were NOT interested in stopping at the super photogenic spot we saw. (I promise, Mom. We didn’t.)
And, finally, we found a tunnel. Yes, a TUNNEL. In Winston Salem. Downtown. If that doesn’t make us cool, I don’t know what does.
So there we were. Two girls with the most amazing name in the world. Taking unboring Senior Pictures. And having adventures.
P.S. When Jenny heads abroad to study in Ireland, I’m going to go visit her. Then we’ll have real adventures. 😛
I sat on the motorbike, holding on for dear life; one hand gripped her jacket and the other clung to the metal grip behind me. Her driving was impeccable – no danger there – but we were surrounded by hundreds (thousands?) of very erratic drivers, all powering their motorbikes through the narrow streets, and…
“Hey, Morgan. How adventurous are you feeling?” With only the slightest of pause, her answer was profound. “How adventurous do you need me to be?” An attitude like this will be highly advantageous in all of life. Yes, ALL of life. Life requires at least a little adventurous spirit, in my experience. Doesn’t it? It’s impossible…
All day, it was threatening to rain. Well, actually, it did rain…leaving me a little concerned how my evening was going to go. But, I had a plan and once I made sure Allie was on board with a little improv, I created two shoot schedules: one with rain, one without rain. Even as we…
In her photography-themed senior session, Darbey reminded me of all the ways she has intentionally pursued becoming a better photographer. I have loved seeing how much Darbey has grown as a photographer (and a human) in the past four years that I’ve known her. This girl is ready to spread her wings and triumph, and…
For those of you in Canada and America, and in case you aren’t following along with the Chinese calendar: today is Chinese New Year. Yes, that’s right. While we meander through “just another day” on our Continent, the happy mayhem, celebration, and firework displays are only just starting to wind down over in the Orient….
