lifestyle: emily

December 15, 2019 by Tiffany Lieu in photography

“Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.”

Emily and I met in 2012 through work and quickly became great friends. We met during a time in our lives where things were changing and we were evolving. Yet, through three cities, thousands of miles, multiple degrees, various jobs, and crazy life changes, we’ve always managed to pick up right where we left off.

This wasn’t Em’s first visit to the Pacific Northwest, but it’s the first time we’ve been here together. 2019 has been a turbulent year for both of us. It’s a much different time from where we were in 2012, but a crossroads in our life all the same. So we took the ferry rides, ate delicious food, drank lots of coffee and wine, and looked hopefully to better days ahead.

Thanks for visiting, Em. It was great to see you — I can’t wait to see all the things you accomplish in 2020 and beyond!

over the past 10 months, andy and I have tried so many new restaurants, i regret not photographing and blogging about all of them. last night we tried Salare (one of Eater's best restaurants in the u.s. for 2016) and it was incredible.

project film: green lake

In case you didn’t know, paddle boats are exhausting. But, I imagined to get some middle-of-the-lake photos on the 35mm while I was out there.
