Evy & Joe’s Wedding // The After Party Colorpalooza

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

As if Joe and Evy’s wedding celebrations weren’t [already big enough] they had to go and throw an after party to end all after parties. Seriously, it felt like it was just another wedding reception, thats how big it was. The food was incredible, the band played all night, the colors were amazing and the bar was open. You know that last part made for an incredibly good time.

It was awesome seeing the decorations following a Mexico theme while all the girls were inside dressing in Saris from India. It fit the theme of the wedding, which was two different cultures coming together in one big celebration.

It was awesome. Again, since I was both a guest (enjoying that open bar) and part photographer, I wish I could have captured every amazing moment, but that is almost impossible in a Kory/Hormes party.

Enjoy!

This Is Mexico

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

At the moment, Mexico is in the news a lot for really really bad reasons.

But as Mexico celebrates its bicentennial tomorrow, videos were released to remind people that a country is not defined by everything you see in the news. The videos, for lack of a better word, are incredible.

For example, the one of Sonora, a state that was my BACK YARD made me realize I really don’t know this part of Mexico I have grown up in all my life. I vow to change this. The roommate extraordinaire, Mar, said it best: “Its ironic how we try so hard to see different parts of the world when we don’t even know the area we came from.”

I am always asked to name my top five places I would want to travel to next. It always changes, and will again now that I am going to Nepal, but one part of the world that I have ALWAYS wanted to go to is Chiapas. Its so close, yet I have never made the effort to actually go.

I mean, watch the video and you will know what I mean.

Maybe next year, that will change.

Anyway, Happy Independence Day Mexico!
