Me, my sister & I...

Living halfway around the world, it's a bit challenging for us to spend as much time as we wanted... but when we do, we have the BEST. TIME. EVER.  Hours of nonstop laughter, random thoughts, interesting conversations, quality shopping, delectable food... and yes rumors are true, we eat for four!

I'm a 5-pairs-of-shoes-on-a-4-day-trip kinda girl.  If you knew my sister, you'd think I travel light!  Recently, we've made a serious effort to break that "spell"...  Growing up, mom made us wear matching outfits, if not, at least very much coordinated ones. She'd wear pink, I'd wear yellow, I'd have ruffles, she'd have the bows... one thing we both hated was how much we itched from the mini petticoats on those dresses!  Fast forward twenty something years, it's funny to see how despite living in different coutnries, we seem to have a shared closet.  (Although it'll be a dream to share hers!).  I was going through some travel photos and noticed how coordinated we still were...  Thanks MOM! :)

Something Blue, Santorini :: personal project

Blue is a happy color for me... the skies, the ocean, the Mediterranean.  Here are a few favorites from a trip to the Greek Isles last spring... photographed walking from one village to another in Santorini.  There's a sense of serenity I felt every time I sat out my deck to write or when I walked along the cliffs to simply enjoy all things blue.  A definite must in your travel lists!

Beautiful village Oia.

Stayed in a village called Imerovigli... Deck was above the suite, sat up here and wrote every morning. 

Dmitri my drunk donkey.

Fira just after sunset.

Mykonos :: personal

I loved getting lost in this labyrinth!  When I travel, I like to walk aimlessly with my camera taking photos of things that catch my eye... the colors, the textures, and the scenery of course.  Mykonos is an island of endless beauty and the food, just as amazing!  I left with an inspired mind & a satisfied palate... can't wait to come back!

Enjoy the photos...

i LOVE love!

I love photographing love.  I love the nostalgia that photographs bring most especially when they're the people dearest to me.  Here's a mini-photo story with my favorite sister & favorite bro-in-law ;) taken in Mykonos and Santorini.

We must've visited all the ice cream shops in the island...

so much joy watching their little 4-year old
