Growing up, my family has always traveled down to Florida because of close relatives. The last two times i’ve gone i’ve brought my camera to photograph places we pass by. It's interesting viewing the same places I always have as a kid, but now with an artistic look.
I posted all the photos from my recent trip to Instagram. Head over there to @DavidFredie if you want to see them all and everything I had to say!
Being a city lover, Nashville was definitely one to remember. I spent four days with my family exploring the area, starting with downtown.
Sadly I did not get any shots of downtown, but it still is burned into my memory. Neon signs all along the streets attached to bars and restaurants. Filled with people enjoying themselves while listening to the live bands, all country of course.
Two of the photos above are from an event we went to called “Glow Nashville.” It was at a minor league baseball stadium where they set up all sorts of Christmas lights.
It was a spectacular event and I loved all of the setups, they even had a sledding hill.
The rest of my time was spent exploring the city with my brother and finding cool locations to take photos. There were a lot of great spots and I didn’t have time to make it to all of them.
I traveled to New York in April 2019 for two reasons. Growing up New York was always portrayed as magnificent and a beautiful city. I always had an appreciation for it. Even with how much my family travels, we never made it over there. So it’s always been on my bucket list for places to go.
Around the beginning of April, I got an ad pop-up on my Instagram. It was for the New York International Car Show happening April 19th-28th. I saw this as my perfect opportunity to go. After inviting my brother and going through the expenses we were all set. We arrived on April 19th early in the morning.
The car show was spectacular along with the many people we met. My dream car was there, which is the second reason I had to go. I had never seen it in real life or taken my own photograph of it. Outside of the car show, New York City was everything I had been told. I loved every moment, it was loud, busy, and the buildings scraped the sky. I am already planning my next trip back.
