Photography Around The World To Remember February 2018

"A year ago today..."

Pictures truly are worth more than a thousand words. They fill us with memories and emotions that let us relive the past. Every picture is very special, each telling a unique story. Pictures allow time to pause just for a second, and then give us a lifetime of memories. Live in the moment, don't live through your phone. But sometimes, we need to capture the moment.

And these "1 year ago today" memories are making me nostalgic.

Last February, I started to become more interested in photography, which lead me to taking more and more pictures. It was a prime opportunity to photograph the world. I was seeing art and history every day. I took advantage of my interests and my locations to start photographing more of the places I traveled to. I started watching the sun set and the architecture around cities. Not owning a professional camera limited me to using my iPhone camera, which can still take high-ish quality photos. Here are some of my favorite pictures of places I've been and the beauty of the world I captured (on my phone) from February 2018, some things that are very special to me.

I started February 2018 off in Paris, France. This photo is from inside the Louvre Museum. Free admission for students on Friday nights! The Louvre was where I started to appreciate and become interested in art.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
