i despise the typical vacation photo: background = blurry, poorly lit snapshot of a monument that real photographers have already captured on post cards, foreground = you looking like a sweaty dweeb in your tourist gear. as such, i'm in very few of
my vacation and travel photos.
however, on my
recent trip to europe, my friend
maria and i developed some great memes that renewed my love for vacation photos. it all started at the louvre when i sat down on the ground to take a
photo of maria. as it turns out, i have quite the knack for sitting quietly in awkward places. you can check out the whole album of "
jong sits" photos, but here are some of the highlights (photo credits to brilliant photographer
maria lambert):
 |
| sitting at the louvre |

 |
| sitting with the eiffel tower |
 |
| sitting at pompidou |
 |
| sitting at notre dame |

 |
| sitting in a museum in vienna |
 |
| sitting in the haus der musik |

maria's go-to position is something we fondly call "
glambert presents." definitely check out the full album of maria "presenting" various monuments throughout western europe. it's hilarious.

Love it! Now I'm jealous, I want to go sit in fun and exciting places. I'll have to get a shot of me sitting in Princeton or NYC this next week.
Super cute, love the idea and love the pictures!
Ha! Fun idea, and the background settings aren't bad either. I like that you're sitting with legs spread straight out, often out in the middle of a flat space, rather than with legs crossed or with knees bent on a step or other raised surface. It reminds me of how a baby or toddler would sit, which adds to the fun.
I'd like to see you doing the same in Barcelona
