Now that my trip is coming to an end, I'm able to reflect on all of the London Adventures that I've had. Out of everything I've seen and experienced, I have to say that St. Paul's Cathedral was one of the most amazing places I've ever been. The size is just unreal and none of the pictures will ever do it justice. It really is just one of those places where you have to see it in person to fully understand its' beauty.

Victoria & Albert Museum
One of my favorite class field trips throughout the course was our trip to The Victoria & Albert Museum. This museum is 7 miles long if you walk through the entire building. We were able to get VIP passes and go into the study room where they pulled out actually David Bailey photographs (along with others) that we were able to touch with our bare hands. To be able to say something like that is truly amazing to me. Since I did my personal project on David Bailey these images were even more special to me because I put forth research and understanding on David Bailey's life and past work. The images that I found online within my research are just incomparable to actually seeing them and touching them in real life. This day is definitely something that will stay with me forever.

Shoreditch Photoshoot
Shoreditch easily became one of my favorites spots in London due to all of the design oriented book stores as well as the Arts and Crafts stores. However, once again the street art is just amazing and also perfect for experimenting with portraits. Kylie, Ryder and I thought it would be a cool idea to make our own adventure back into Shoreditch so we could take pictures. I think they turned out great.

Shoreditch Sight Seeing
Shoreditch is the best place in London (that I've come across) for street art. The colors are vibrant and full of life. Some had more obvious meaning behind them than others but all were extremely visually appealing. I was even fortunate enough to run across a couple original Banksy's.
Paris
Last weekend I visited Paris for two short days. While I was there I saw The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre and I ate some amazing macarons from Lauduree. If you know me then you know I am slightly addicted to macarons ever since trying my first one in New York last year.
