Photographing Girlfriends in Travel

For the past 6 days I have traveled in a road vehicle (RV) with 5 other women for Whiskey Sister and in search of women’s in history along the Southwest.

One of the things that people have started asking us is whether we are ready to kill each other. The answer is no, though none of us will deny that there have been moments here and there where getting out of the RV and putting a little distance between us, as well as stretching our legs and getting fresh air, hasn’t been a welcome break.

We are all getting along really well and have shared a lot of our personal stories, as women who become close often do. Some of us are mothers, some of us are not. Some of us are married, some of us are not. We come from different places and have different experiences, but in the end we are female travelers taking on the road and learning together. In general, this trip has been a great reminder of how important and how wonderful girlfriend travel is.

While on the road I have tried to get writing done, but with so much travel under my belt over the past few days it is hard to find the energy and the focus to get it all done. But my creative self still craves for an outlet even in midst of sleepy haze.

So, I decided to focus on the women that I am traveling with – my girlfriends – as a way to share how I see them with you and as I way to express how close I feel to them after our many days together.

You can follow our journey on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with hashtag #WhiskeySister. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this more intimate glimpse and check out the sites of the women (by clicking on their names) who have been my girlfriends in travel this week.

After the rain, this is the sound as the sun sets: After the rain, this is the sound as the sun sets: the song of what seems to be a thousand peepers and the water rushing from the glen down the 100 foot waterfall right in front of our little country cottage. 

As much as I still love the noise of my NYC, this wasn’t a bad trade off. ❤️

Now is the perfect time to visit the Finger Lakes if you enjoy waterfalls. Through mud season and again during the rainy days of fall these waterways are the most active and beautiful. 

One of the many reasons we love our home in this stunning region.

I recently joined in on a Black History Month cele I recently joined in on a Black History Month celebration led by @_nykitchen (Canandaigua) and their very own examples of Black excellence: Sommelier Shomari Smoak (@winewithsmoak ), Chef Eli Tate, and Wine Writer Maiah Johnson Dunn (@thisismaiah).

Chef Eli’s crispiest of crisp fried chicken, saucy ribs, mac & cheese, crazy delicious collard greens, and cornbread was paired with five incredible Black-owned or made wines, all hand selected by Maiah and Shomari. 

For dessert, we had a special treat made by Rochester’s Pound Cakes by Pastor. 

We also got to learn about Black History in the Finger Lakes, including about Fedderman Wine Co., founded in 1972 by Raymond Fedderman in Prattsburgh, NY, recognized as one of the first Black-owned commercial wineries in the U.S.. and the FIRST in New York State!! He was known for his sweet wines like “Irene Red” and “Rosalind White”.

The Finger Lakes is rich in Black History, and luckily New York Kitchen often hosts events beyond just this one month to share the wealth that Black excellence has contributed to the region and beyond. Visit their website for more upcoming events!

Enjoyed an incredible meal at @albadawi.nyc, a Michelin Guide-featured Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn Heights with Tim Robbins and his partner dining in the table next to us. But as a true blue New Yorker, you keep your cool and take in the magic of life in this amazing city.
