I shot almost every lunch break & sunsets after work (thankfully I had a beautiful view of the NYC skyline). I'd even fly across the country to take photos for 24 hours, then would take red-eyes to make it to work on Mondays, but me crazy. β€” After quitting my job and traveling solo, I didn't really have friends in new cities (Denver & San Francisco). But over time, I've become so comfortable in these new cities and never felt alone because it brought me to others with similar interests. When I'd meet with these photographers, they were typically photos taken of me, but I'd also shoot every meet up. I just never really cared to go through and edit my shots. But overtime, I’ve become so reliant on my friends to take my photos, I forgot why I started traveling in the first place. β€” Turn it around: Iceland was one of my first trips (in a very long time) that I focused more on shooting. I love editing so much β€” it's SUCH a different feeling being happy with the final results of photos YOU shot & YOU edited πŸ₯°. Obviously, I'm still always down to shoot but I think it’s important to come back to your roots and to remember why you started in the first place :) β€” 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐟𝐀𝐒𝐦.𝐜𝐨𝐦 :: ❀️, πšπš›πšŠπšŒπšŽπšπš”πš’πš– . . . . . #hellofrom #iceland #wheniniceland #offtoiceland #icelandexplored #icelandtrip #inspiredbyiceland #icelandnature #guidetoiceland #travelphotographyπŸ“· #depthsofearth #icelandtravel #earthoutdoors #travelgram #adventurelabs #bevisuallyinspired #aov5k #outdoortones #wildernessnation #wildernesstones #eclectic_shotz #earthoutdoors10k #allaboutadventures #lifeofadventure #earth_shotz #wilderness_culture #trekkingtoes #roamtheplanet #naturelovers #travelawesome iceland.explore wheniniceland travelandleisure ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 452 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 50 ## Credits No public credits are recorded here.
