Title: Umbrella Man - China
Date: 2014
Description: I planned to snap a picture of my friend from the gate of the Forbidden City with Tiananmen Square in the background. Looking through the viewfinder just about to take the picture, I saw this man in an umbrella hat rise up slowly out of nowhere directly in the center of the frame; I thought it was so funny that I ended up taking a picture of him right there. In China, no one would give much bother trying to stay out of each other's ways in situations like these, rather, people would wait patiently for the brief, brief moments when there were gaps in the crowds to take their pictures. The guy in my photo had just been squatting, taking a few photos of his son off to the left of the picture.

Title: Snacking Vervet Monkey - Tanzania
Date: 2014
Description: We drove up to an animal sighting to discover a troop of Vervet monkeys. But this sighting was far from normal. A previous observer had carelessly tossed his sack lunch into the monkey's more than willing hands. We helplessly watched as this Vervet inspected the contents of the bag and settled on a cracker, before continuing to eat every morsel inside. A younger male approached to see what all the fuss was about, and ended up with a small scrap of plastic from the bag itself. This young monkey, having never seen anything like it before, decided to taste the bag. And there was nothing we could do. This moment made me really realize the devastating impact we can have on the beautiful creatures we cohabitate with on this planet. If only we stop and think about our actions, all of them, perhaps we can make a positive change in the world.

Title: Lake Bled
Date: 2019-04-17
Description: To me, this photo represents both the amazing architecture and natural beauty of Slovenia. Nestled just south of the Julian Alps and an hour north of the capital of Ljubljana, this is the only naturally-occurring island in the country. An imposing castle perched on a rock outcrop overlooking the lake and some good (steep) hiking in the woods coupled with the charming island church solidified Bled as one of my favorite places that I visited. Legend has it that your wishes will come true if you ring the church bell three times...

Title: So Much Gelato - Italy
Date: 2014
Description: We all were amazed by the Italian food, especially the gelato. So we made a point to have at least two or three different scoops of it a day! It was easy to do seeing as there was a gelateria on almost every corner. On those days that we were served gelato like this though, we would call it a day and count one scoop as about three. 🙂 There was just so much gelato, so much.

Title: Home Away from Home - Florence, Italy
Date: 2014
Description: Bellingham is known for having beautiful sunsets. Getting to see the oranges, yellows, and reds arrayed across the sky is one of my favorite parts of going to school up here. So when I got to see this beautiful sight while in Florence, I was reminded of my "Belling-home" and how much I love the world we live in. Even halfway around the world you can find the peace and beauty of home.

Title: Cocos en la playa!
Date: 2019-07-05
Description: This is a photo of me discovering coconuts on the beach of Playa Uvita. The landmark I was visiting is known as the Uvita Whale Tail because it is a natural outcrop that you can see from space at low tide and it resembles the tail of a whale. It was an amazing time standing in the middle of the whale tail. Waves wash onto the shore from both sides and then when the tide gets high enough, the waves crash into each other and eventually engulf the landmark. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica, if not the entire world. Our program we were studying was Global Entrepreneurship and innovation in the social sector. Our final week was an independent study week and I chose to study the unique market of hostels in Costa Rica, in particular, the Flutterby house located in Uvita ten minutes from where I took this photo. It is a hot spot for tourists to see the landmark and they often stay at the Flutterby house for its nice amenities, cheap surfboard rentals and prime location near some of the best surf on most beautiful beach in the world.

Title: Unsolved Mysteries - Rwanda
Date: 2014
Description: This photo was taken when a small group of students and myself found ourselves wandering around an abandoned, pre-genocide military complex. The architecture style was different than any we had seen in Rwanda and there was an eerie stillness in the air as we wondered what it used to be. Although it was totally abandoned, it was no more than 100 yards from the main road through town, a poignant reminder of the events two decades earlier.

Title: Las Escaleras de La Catedral de Granada - Spain
Date: 2014
Description: Next to one of the main plazas of Granada sits the the grand Cathedral. Everyday, come rain or shine, performers were there to greet the tourists and on the weekends church bells rang with joy to celebrate a new marriage. On weekdays students filtered in and out for school tours, and always large masses were held. Engaging with the people in this square was when I finally began to feel that Granada was my home. Eventually, the cathedral became a normal sight to me, and I became more concerned with getting to my favorite churros con chocolate restaurant around the corner and catching an impromptu flamenco show.

Title: A Gnawa Lesson
Date: 2019-11-09
Description: This photo is of me learning to play a Gnawan song. Gnawa is an important musical tradition in Morocco, with Gnawan music being played at many of the important festivals and holidays in Morocco. This particular day was right before Aid-el Mawlid, the Muslim holiday celebrating the Prophet Mohammed's birth. I learned to play a certain rhythm and tried to sing the lyrics of the song, which were about Allah, and while I have a long way to go before I am a Gnawa musician, I had fun.

Title: Great Buddha of Kamakura
Date: 2019-07-13
Description: Japan. The photo is of the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Professor Tomasi took us to see some of the ancient temples of Kamakura some dating as far back as the 1200s. I took this photo before I saw the full temple. The buddha towers over the whole mountain watching anyone who gets close enough to approach. Intimidating but also inspiring.

Title: Class 5-3 - Japan
Date: 2014
Description: For our Japanese Folklore class we took many field trips, including an optional volunteer opportunity at a local elementary school. Unfortunately, I'm unable to post a photo with the children, as I was unable to contact the school for their permission. It was a great experience. The children weren't interested in us because we spoke English, or because we were foreigners. They simply saw us as new friends and as new playmates. Here, I'm pictured with my friend, Keitaro Hanzawa (right), with a warm welcome message full of drawings and comments from the fifth graders that we volunteered with. My favorite part is probably the blue text right under the "W" in "Welcome," since it's just a list of random English words that they knew written in Japanese like "jump" and "magazine."

Title: Greece
Description: Before I went to Greece I didn't know anything about the sheer amounts of cats that roam the streets. Everywhere we went, especially in cities, cats would be all around. Even up in monasteries and historic sites we visited, cats would be there. This cat, was right outside the old Greek theater at the Oracle of Apollo.

Title: England v. USA
Date: 2018-11-15
Description: England v. USA: London, UK - When we think of British culture, soccer (or "football") is often one of the first things that comes to mind. This photo is at Wembley Stadium, which can hold 90,000 people for large events. The game was between my host country of England - "The Three Lions" (who won handily to nobody's surprise) - and the US Men's National Team. This match represented both the culture I'm from and the culture I was living in, through a game that is understood all over the world and transcends geographic and cultural boundaries to bring people together.
