During the Fourth of July weekend, I headed to the Pacific Northwest and took a few photos for my sister’s friend Janina—a German foreign exchange student with an ardor for 60’s-era bandanas, peace signs, and completely disregarding  the “let’s wear boots to the shoot” strategy. She was heading home after a long stay in the States and her friends wanted to commemorate her time there with a few photos.

The girls were photogenic, silly, and fun to shoot. I had a great time, even if I demolished my Ray-Bans in the process.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
