Portland, ME to Philadelphia, PA to Minnetonka, MN to Forest City, IA


My photographer and I went to Minnetonka, MN for Spring Break. We stopped over in Philadelphia, PA and had lunch with Erin Thompson, my photographer's friend. After enjoying our meal we hopped back on a plane and flew to Minnetonka, MN.


While visiting my photographer's family we went down to Iowa because I had never been. We stayed with my photographer's sister, Laura. She goes to Waldorf College in Forest City, IA. Here I am posing with her at the Waldorf sign and also enjoying hanging out with her in her dorm room.

New York City, NY




Here I am in Union Square. I am standing on a map of Union Square. There was a big farmer's market going on while we were waiting for some of Christina's friends to show up.


Our second stop for the day was at Art In General. This was a small multi-media gallery. I liked it because of the pink door. Can you find me? I sort of blend in with my surroundings.


This is one of the last times that we road the subway so I decided to get my picture taken. Dave was so kind to pose with me. In the reflection of the window you can see some more of our party. From the left is Ling Wen, Christina, and my photographer.


We didn't see many touristy sites while we were in New York City, but while walking along the coast we were able to see The Statue of Liberty. That is the blurry thing in the background.


We did go pay our respects at Ground Zero. It was amazing to see that much open space, rather a void that once held something.


Lastly, we went to PS1. No, I am not talking about where the video game console was made. This is a contemporary art museum. I especially liked this sculpture that was made out of bamboo and encompassed the front courtyard.

Portland, ME to New York City, NY


Since my photographer was a senior at the time the sculpture seniors and professors went to New York City, NY. I was so lucky to come along.


Here we are on the Greyhound bus station waiting to leave to go to New York City, NY. Dave Henderson is sitting behind me in the photo. He is one of four seniors that went on the trip. While riding we went through Conneticut. I haven't been to that state yet. So that is one more off my list.


Here I am in our hotel room. Linda Lambertson shared the room with us. She is one of the other seniors that went on the trip.


Before we called it a night we went to the Whitney. Here you see everyone, but Clayton Cameron. From the left you will see Linda Lambertson, Ling Wen Tsai (Professor), Dave Henderson, and Christina Bechstein (Professor).

Augusta, ME to Camden Hills Park, ME to Boothbay, ME





After seeing Maine's state capital we stopped at Camden Hills Park and walked along the coast before heading to Boothbay, ME.





Here I am in Boothbay, ME. My photographer's good friend, Erin Thompson, lived in Boothbay, ME for the summer. Unfortunately, she wasn't working at Enchantments that day so we missed her.

Portland, ME to Augusta, ME





While Grandma was here for my photographer's parent's weekend at her college, Grandma asked to go see Maine's state capital because she had never been there. So we did a day trip up to Augusta. Here I am acting like King Kong and also posing by Maine's State Capital.
