Photo Highlights

I got my own famous angle of Fallingwater.

My mom just made a photo book for me, coming this Christmas. I'm excited to see it! Almost 300 photos made the cut. Here are some of my favorite photos taken over the duration of my whole trip, from America to Europe to Japan. A little sneak peak, so to speak! Not all 300, of course, but please enjoy a few dozen of my favorites.
