i am now in the czech republic for a few weeks,
trying to stay warm because it is raining and all i really brought were tank tops. one sweatshirt. one pair of pants. they are my new best friends. so is the raincoat that i didnt think i'd ever need :) (thanks stacia!) i am here to teach photography at a summer camp------- the kids just got here today and so here, we, go!
traveling abroad has gotten me thinking a lot about how most people expect photographs to explain. i had release myself the pressure of explaining every part of my trip through images. i prefer using photos to experience and uncover layers of what i'm seeing in front of me. so, i will let you experience what i experienced. enjoy :)

You are the best storyteller ever!

(07.30.11 @ 11:25 AM)i looove the one looking out the window with just the guy's arm and the orange lettering on the window. these photos say a lot about the trip and what you are experiencing, shan! no one else could portray the trip like you can!
(07.30.11 @ 11:49 AM)wow! it is totally amazing and beautiful!! (because of the Volvo's). thanks for taking us to the Czech Republic!!
(07.30.11 @ 12:03 PM)shoot. as your packing consultant, i feel i've failed you. ok, thinking on our feet: layer two tanks for core warmth, add the purple long sleeever, and then your orange sweatshirt and then the coat. did you end up bringing jeans? or just the grey pants? you could probably layer those two (grey under jeans). and what about the striped cardigan?
i will pray for sunshine.
(07.30.11 @ 12:45 PM)Way to embrace it! love these photos.
