    Nashville, TN on Film

    Traveling to Nashville? Here’s what we did for a long weekend:

    Nashville’s charm is undeniable, and a long weekend with friends is the perfect way to experience it. We packed a lot into our trip and made it even more memorable by using point and shoot film cameras. Here’s a snapshot of our adventure:

    After landing, we dropped off our bags and headed directly to Broadway Street, soaking in the live music and thousands of people. The disposable cameras captured our excitement and the vibrant neon lights perfectly. Later, we enjoyed an awesome Billy Strings concert at the Bridgestone Arena, but the real highlight was Daddy’s Dogs in Printers Alley. The night shots here turned out fantastic, full of our laughter and the lively food truck ambiance.

    Our second day was a mix of activities. We took a trip to Two Rivers park where we then played some disc golf, enjoyed the warm weather, and generally frolicked. Later we took a long walk along the river and ended up at a former airfield turned park. 

    In the evening, we took a bike bar tour around the city. The cameras caught our fun on the pedal-powered bar, enjoying drinks and the Nashville vibe. After our tour concluded, we were not done riding around. We immediately rented scooters and went zooming around all of downtown Nashville. 

    Fun Fact: Did you know scooter apps close at 11:00pm. We found that out the hard way.

    We spent our last day zipping around on rental scooters yet again, discovering new spots and enjoying the city’s sights. We explored the Parthenon replica at Bicentennial Park, which, in my opinion, the cameras captured beautifully. 

    All said, for a quick trip to Nashville we did it right. We explored Broadway, saw a concert, bar hopped, rented scooters, had delicious food, and got a big taste of what Nashville has to offer. We look to return soon!

    Hometown Throwdown: Photographing a Latte Art Competition

    Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending the Latte Art Competition hosted by Hometown Coffee Roasters in Manchester, NH. As a coffee enthusiast and photographer, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture the excitement and artistry of the event through my lens.

    The competition brought together a diverse array of baristas from some of the finest coffee shops in New Hampshire, as well as talented independent baristas eager to showcase their skills. From intricate hearts and tulips to more original pieces, each participant brought their unique flair to the table, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

    As I moved around the venue, camera in hand, I was struck by the passion and dedication of the competitors. Every pour was executed with precision and care, a testament to the craftmanship that goes into making the perfect cup of coffee.

    Here are just a few highlights from the event:

    I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the owner of Hometown Coffee Roasters for graciously allowing me to capture these moments. It was a privilege to witness such talent and creativity firsthand.
