T-town Photoshoot ♥

So we took a trip to Downtown Tacoma! I was in much need of a photoshoot (surprise coming soon!) as bad as water.

We detoured into many antique shops. There's something about them that I just adore! Nostalgia for the past is overwhelming in a reassuring sense in those shops. I love to drift into the past and explore how "things used to be."

We found some amazing parking garages, which were covered in graffiti from ceiling to floor. It was amazing some of the art we saw in there. (Secretly an art fanatic and supporter of expression) More on that belowww

Also, I am always obsessed with architecture and lines. If anything, I might be an architect when I'm older because I loved the composed look of expressive buildings.

Plus, doors make cute frames for candids.

We found this in an antique shop. I can say without shame that I read the whole thing and I was preoccupied for a good 10 minutes with this. (History fanatic, surprise!)

Some of the shots from the graffiti building-I absolutely adore this art!

Ahhh, those lines and shapes and squares muffled with cars. Love.

Why should I take a serious photo...

I was too proud to walk in the street. #rebel and I really shouldn't hashtag this much, but hey why not. If today was my last day why not hashtag.

An absolutely gorgeous refinished building from 1889 (ie. the top of the building).

Tip: that building is fun to scroll past super fast. Additionally, I tried my best to ride to the top but it was dissapointing to find it was closed. I guess that's another excuse to go to Tacoma again!

Birthday present pleaseeee

This is the most fascinating photo ever. So, this was a photo taken on that street of all of the men and boys waiting for the score of the baseball game, posted on a building to the farthest right. I zoomed in and saw a sea of fedora hats and suits. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing and I certainly felt it right then. It was overwhelming, the want to know the past.
