The Places We Go

Fanny Packs by Laura Ohlson

I am excited to share with you photographs I took for my friend Laura's project. She's heading back to Africa (Kenya and South Africa) for two and a half months of volunteering. She's worked very hard to create these amazing fanny packs which she is selling as part of her fundraiser (learn more here). 10% of the proceeds go to Carolina for Kibera. So, make sure to reserve your fanny pack. :)

I can't seem to decide which one to get. But soon I'll be walking around the streets of San Francisco with this cute multi-purpose fanny pack...

New York part 3: Vinegar Hill, Williamsburg, Brooklyn Bridge Park

I present to you my final batch of NY photos. The girls and I ventured throughout Brooklyn to Vinegar Hill for a delicious brunch at Vinegar Hill House, walked by Brooklyn Bridge Park, explored Williamsburg and ended our day with dinner in Park Slope. This trip was everything and more than I expected. Despite Hurricane Sandy, I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to bond and spend time with Marlie, Melissa and Kelli.

And lastly, a few iPhone camera photos featuring Kelli, Marlie and Melissa:

New York Part 2: Manhattan

The inspiration in New York is endless. The diverse people, the style, the architecture, the energy. During my vacation my friend Marlie and I met up at Grand Central station and walked and walked and walked all the way to Battery Park. We passed through Midtown, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, Soho, Tribecca, and East Village. My feet may have been a little sore but it was all worth it to soak up the city. I fell in love with the wonderful fall colors that we don't get to see much of in California. I think I left my heart in NYC.

New York Part 1: Park Slope

Angelica — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 06:18:57 +0000

I recently returned from a trip to New York where I reunited with three amazing ladies I met while volunteering in South Africa. What began as action packed days walking around Manhattan and Brooklyn soon turned into a semi hibernation when Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast. Thankfully, we took refuge at my friend Mellisa’s throughout the storm and until the airport was reopened. My heart goes out to those who were affected by the storm.

My first set of photoraphs are of Kelli’s neighborhood in Brooklyn (Park Slope). This family-oriented neighborhood truly felt like home. Cannot wait to go back.

Later that evening the four of us met up in the East Village for dinner. Even though it had been two years since we last saw each other it was so easy to pick up right where we left off. We've made it official to continue our tradition of reuniting in new cities. The only precondition is that it always be an adventure. But given that we met in South Africa and now survived Hurricane Sandy, I'd say that's a given.

Sunset Sunday

Angelica — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 02:22:27 +0000

This Sunday called for grocery shopping, spiced pear muffin-making and a stroll through the park. There's nothing like a lazy sunday on a beautiful day in San Francisco.

Dinner in Paris

Angelica — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 18:11:32 +0000

No, we didn't have dinner in Paris, France but that is the name we've given to our new apartment. The three roommates finally got together for a delicious meal on our wooden table.

Bernal Heights & The Mission

Angelica — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 01:27:56 +0000

Hello! I'm so happy to be back photographing again! If anyone has ever apartment hunted in San Francisco before, you know how intense, competative, and time consuming it can be. Thankfully we found a new home and are all moved in! On Saturday two friends and I ventured out for a much needed photo adventure date in the city. We went to Bernal Heights for a small breakfast at Progressive Grounds and then made our way up to The Mission and plopped ourselves down at Dolores Park. Nothing like a few hours of sunshine and people watching.

Mua Oakland

Angelica — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 02:04:11 +0000

I started a fun filled weekend on Friday at Mua Oakland for Happy Hour. Reunited with Joanne, Maria and Jamie (sadly, not pictured). I think this will be the start of many more ventures in Oakland.

Ocean Beach & Beachside Cafe

Angelica — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 01:34:19 +0000

If you're looking to spruce up your regular weekly routine, why not take advantage of the clear skies and head out to the beach and watch the sunset? On Monday, Maria and I met up for tea and french fries (odd combination, I know) and did just that. Nothing like beating the Monday blues with a friend. Until next time!

Park

This weekend was incredibly warm in San Francisco. At one point I looked at what I was wearing and thought I was in San Diego. But not. I was so busy enjoying the sunshine that I didn't pay much attention to my camera. Here are a few that my buddy Sandy and I were able to snap.
