Yesterday at The Schuler School (Patreon)

I had a full day of art class posing yesterday...it's always surprising to me how exhausting that can be. I just sit in a pose for 3 hours (20 minutes at a time with 5-10 minute breaks) and do not move. I think it's more difficult when there's no music or conversation happening - which is what posing at this particular school is like. I really love working for them as the quality of the art and the artists is so high.

Tomorrow I'm traveling to Philadelphia and staying with the lovely Freshie Juice. I'm attending Bill Earle's workshop (as a photographer, not a model) on the 13th. I'm then working with Bill Earle and Michael Pannier the next morning before heading to NYC to see a good friend of mine for a few days. Then I'll be back home and preparing for my trip to Europe! I leave for Stockholm on the 24th and will be there until the 28th when I take an overnight ferry to Helsinki. I'll be meeting up with Kelsey Dylan and hosting her at my Airbnb in Helsinki as well before I head to Amsterdam where I'll be until September 5th.

It will b my first time in all three countries, and I'm a bit overbooked - I feel like I'll barely get to see the exciting parts of any place haha. At the same time though, I tend to now think meeting kind people, having some nice meals, and taking slow walks through the city are the best ways to explore rather than having a strict itinerary to see all the famous landmarks.

But I'll start uploading my other photo sets here before I leave for that trip :)
