Through the Lens of an Artist - Italy
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
This photo was taken in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. As you can see, we are all huddled around my professor as he points out all the intricacies of the beautiful paintings that we had studied. It was such an amazing experience getting to go and see all the art that we had read about. It really made the pieces comes to life.

Masai Tribe - Tanzania

Description

This is a photo of the Masai Tribe that my group of volunteers and I had the opportunity to visit. They performed their traditional dance and song for us upon arrival, and then invited us into their household structures and informed us of their way of living. It was a very inspirational and eye-opening experience that I will never forget.

This was the best meal I had, a meal from a restaurant down the street from my apartment. I ate here a couple times, and every time, I just couldn't believe how lucky I was to be there, in Italy, eating pasta. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do something like this again, so I just knew I had to... savor the moment.

This happened on a hike in the National Park. Apparently lemurs aren't afraid of humans when bananas are involved.

Kalimera! - Ithaca, Greece
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
A beautiful afternoon on the small waterfront of Kioni village on the island of Ithaca, Greece with one of the many resident boats. The people of Kioni are warm and welcoming, always greeting you with a "Kalimera!" and smiles. The awe-inspiring beauty in simplicity is found every where you go, and it is clear why Odysseus made his famous journey back to his island of Ithaca.

Synchronize - Oslo, Norway
-
Date

Description
-
From Norway's Parliament building (left) to the Royal Palace at the end of the street, Karl Johans gate is in every way the main street of Oslo. A center of Norwegian tourism, life, and society, it was only a short T-bane (metro) ride from the University I attended, creating ample opportunities to meet both locals and tourists alike. Banners line the street for EuroPride 2014, which took place over my first full week in Oslo. All of Europe joining together in one city, with one voice, for one reason.

Studying Trees from the Inside Out

Description

As an environmental science student, many of my classes abroad involve doing field studies. For my Natural History of Mesoamerica class, we studied plants in Monteverde. This photo was taken as I was inside of a Strangled Fig tree that had taken over the host tree and left a hollow inside.

TOKYO IS YOURS - Japan
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
Tokyo was an amazing experience for me. The city seemed so developed and alive, while still managing to keep in touch with traditional Japanese culture. I was able to see much more of just a sheer variation of people in Toyko. From businessmen in suits, to guys with crazy spiked orange hair, to girls dressed up like something out of a cartoon. With all of the different shops selling clothes matching each and every different style, Tokyo really seemed like a city where one could be themselves and do what they wanted. It also helped that the weather was wonderful. This particular photo was taken in a more edgy, counter-culture, university age district. As one can see the graffiti and alternative stickers plastered all over the sign. This photo made me realize that despite its size, even a city of 25 million people is a different space to each and every separate person in it. The people make the city, not the other way around.

One of the three iconic windmills of Kioni village on the island of Ithaca, Greece. The people of Kioni are very proud of these historic mills, even lighting them in the evening so they can be seen. This photo is taken from the windy hill the three iconic windmills reside, facing towards the beautiful little village of Kioni on Odysseus's homeland of Ithaca.

Duomo on a Foggy Morning - Florence, Italy
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
Almost every morning for 8 months I would walk past the Duomo in Florence to go to class. The Duomo, a massive Cathedral that looms over the city like a giant fist, casts it's shadow and impression on all that visit Florence. Needless to say, it is hardly ever without tourists surrounding its glistening marble walls. This photo was taken on a foggy morning that I had to wake up at 4 am to catch a bus, and there was not a single other person in Piazza Del Duomo. As I rushed to catch the bus I momentarily looked up to see the giant structure looking back at me. I felt small but peaceful as the shutter from my camera echoed across the stone. It was a moment I will not forget.

KAMAKURA DAYS - Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan
-
Date
-
2014
-
Description
-
Our WWU friend Daniel Lizarraga (left) was visiting from Akita located in northern Japan, so we planned a weekend trip to Kamakura, Kanagawa, better known as the home of the samurai (12th and 13th centuries). The town was filled with lots of historical monuments, mainly Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Pictured behind us is the Kamakura Daibutsu, or Great Buddha of Kamakura, and we found out that it's actually hollow inside. Kamakura is a historical city with lots to see, and the locals are very friendly, too. One elderly woman that we talked to while we were in her shop told us that our host university, J.F. Oberlin University used to be an all-girls school, something that not a lot of people know.
