On the road again
Anyone who knew me pre-DC years knows this: I can't sit still. I've been nicknamed the wondering nomad, the vagabond, the gypsy, you name it. If I stayed in one state for more than a month, I went crazy. Since I've been to DC, traveling hasn't been as plentiful, but it's about to be possibly more than I can handle. I hope not, because me and my camera are hitting the road.
It begins with a trip to NY for a massive family gathering, as I shared in my last log. The great thing I just found out is that we'll be stomping around Manhattan all day in the 20°F cold that the weatherman predicts. YAY! This after sunny 80°F weather in DC this week. (For you who only know celsius, no, we are not melting. It's quite beautiful.)
From there... well... back to DC really. But then I'm off to LA for a 2-3 week adventure. Not quite sure what I'll be doing there other than visiting family. I initially was suppose to help with the Souls concert. That got cancelled. But I always have time for LA, and frankly I've never done photography there (hard to do since it's not a distinct cityscape, the Armenian elements are too much to capture, and who knows where to begin? But I'll do my best in the few weeks I'm there.
And then I return to DC again. Can't really get far, can I? Well, that wont be true for long. May 1 takes Arsineh outside of American borders yet again! Paris, here I come. I'll be there for 5 days roaming the streets aimlessly. Actually, my former intern who lives in Paris will be taking my sorry butt in and feeding me (I hope). YAY PARIS through the eyes of a fellow Armenian. The camera will be READILY available for that. I haven't been to Paris since I was 13 with my bronchitis and parents by my side taking me on the cheesy castle tours. Sorry mom and dad, that was no fun.
May 6 - I arrive in Yerevan at a surprisingly normal hour... 9:55 pm God willing no delays occur. Yeesh, I just jinxed it. I can smell the burning trash on the street mixed with wet pavements of Armenia already. And then of course from there, I'll have that chance finally to go to Georgia, Lebanon, maybe even Iran, who knows. Ah yes, on the road again indeed, just me and my trusty camera (trusty I hope, that thing better last!)
Free at last!
