I am reviving this blog to fulfill an assignment in a graduate course I am taking toward a marketing management degree (MGMT S-6655). In our course, we are discussing the power and place of blogging in the digital world of marcomms. Tumblr, WordPress, and Medium are held as some of the most popular social platforms specific to blogging.
I first created this blog nearly 10 years ago after taking a photojournalism course in my undergraduate degree. I appreciate that my education has inspired me to continue to share my work in a creative space. Shortly after publishing this blog, I studied abroad in Galway, Ireland. This opportunity allowed me to capture many beautiful places in Ireland and other European cities during my travels.
Tumblr feels like an especially perfect outlet for sharing the photos I most like to take, which span styles/genres and can be quite random - landmarks, street life, nature. Since I last posted on this blog in 2017, I have worked in photojournalism and have also delved into portrait photography as a side job, including weddings and family photos. I now work in communications and incorporate some photography into my job, though my role mainly focuses on writing and web management. In my free time I hope to sharpen my skills in travel/street life photos, as this is the area I enjoy most.
Here I share some photos on a recent trip to London in June 2024. It is fun to compare how my photography style has evolved and/or stayed consistent in terms of the subjects I like to capture.
