: Welcome to Story 3 of Issue 1! My friend Sara is from my hometown of Canton, Ohio, but has moved with her family all over the world, from India to Western Australia to now, Paris. I love seeing her different approaches to photography vary by place, giving us a glimpse into far-ranging corners of the world.This story features lots of photos, so make sure you hit “See entire post” if you’re receiving via email!
Two Months living in India
I don’t know how else to put this, but when a midwestern American girl agrees to live in India for a few months without every stepping foot in the country… She’s asking for culture shock. Or perhaps a culture smack in the face. This girl is me, she is I. Amongst the utter chaos living in Bangalore was, my senses will never be the same. In a great way. Between the aroma of Indian spices every where you go, to the bright colored garb every where you look, the incoherent yelling, cars zooming, cows mooing, and the smut in my pores I wiped off every evening — India left me speechless, really. And I’m writing this three years post India life!
Two Years in Perth
One of the most isolated cities in the world. In a country as large in size as the United States, Western Australia takes up a third of Australia’s land mass, and only has two roads going in and out of the state. With great seclusion comes great beauty. The only way I can describe traveling in Western Australia, is that I felt like I was on another planet, as the flora and fauna were quite literally outside of my little American world - and even wildly unique to the rest of its country! The best way, I found, to observe this gorgeous part of the world, was from above.
Etretat Spring Weekender
When we decided to move to Paris for a stint from Perth, AU, we thought we were trading the bright blue ocean for more of an urban life. Which we did, but just two hours away in the dreamy coastal town of Etretat are picturesque white chalk cliffs (Faliase D’Aval) and striking blue waters. The water was brisk and the wind biting on our May holiday, but the views, delicious seafood, and the stark contrast to Paris life made it a trip to remember.
