Parrot Cay, Part I

by bijansabet

Earlier this month we made a quick visit to the island of Parrot Cay to find some relief from this fierce winter. This was truly one of the most restful & relaxing trips we have ever taken as a family.

Adding to the zen feeling of this trip was shooting entirely with film outside a few random iPhone snaps. I did not have to deal with memory cards, batteries or any temptations to process images during the time away. I even left the laptop home as well. It really felt wonderful and right.

New Zealand

by bijansabet

Last month we visited New Zealand.

According to Wikipedia, New Zealand is the last country discovered by humans.  We got that feeling starting with the flight alone. It’s 18+ hours from the east coast of the United States. And as the plane approached it was clear to us that we have never seen a place like this before.

The country largely speaking is made up of the north island and the south island.

The north is a result of volcanic activity while the south island is a result of glacial activity. The north and south landscape couldn’t look more different and yet it’s all one proud country with a distinct Māori culture and such wonderful people.

I am so grateful we were able to make this trip as a family. It was our first trip to New Zealand but hopefully not our last.
