Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death – ought to decide, indeed, to earn one’s death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life.” -James Baldwin, Happy Birthday<br/> .<br/> .<br/> .<br/> #sky #beautiful #nature #sun #landscape #photooftheday #instagood #love #summer #travel #clouds #outdoors #water #picoftheday #beach #sea #life #happy #ocean #beauty #adventure #vacation #naturelovers #art #pretty #instadaily #light #havana #cuba #malecon (at El Malecón)</p>https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163733700337https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163733700337Wed, 02 Aug 2017 20:11:23 -0400vacationarttravellovebeautysummerbeachseasunoutdoorsmaleconbeautifullifenaturecloudswaterpicofthedayskyprettylandscapeoceanhappyhavanacubaadventurelightnatureloversinstadailyphotoofthedayinstagood<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/0ad48f1d59c4daa196403ea01f50af94/tumblr_ou2sv6bciB1qisjfho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Because no photo of Havana is complete without an old 1950s automobile…. Traveling to Cuba is like taking a time machine back to the days mama told stories about, a time when food could be bought with nickels, locals say earning $35/month means middle class, and country pride as well as family values are the cornerstone of life. Here wifi only exists in zones and human interaction takes more effort than checking your phone. It’s not all perfect, pollution runs high, inhaling tobacco smoke is as common as regular air and access to resources are still limited. Yet there’s something refreshing about “the good ole days”, and I’d challenge you to see it before the country is “all caught up”. <br/> .<br/> .<br/> #adventure #travel #instatravel #travelingourplanet #travelgram #mydestination #cuba #travelbug #instatraveling #mytravelreviews #worldtravelbook #instagood #vacaciones #beautiful #photooftheday #picoftheday #vacation #travelline #explore #travelphotography #instalike #travelmemories #landscape #love #worldingram #sun #havana #car #automobile #1950s (at Havana, Cuba)</p>https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163727401207https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163727401207Wed, 02 Aug 2017 16:57:06 -0400explorecartravelphotographyinstatravelingautomobileinstalikemytravelreviewsphotoofthedaylandscapepicofthedaycubatravelsunmydestination1950stravelbuginstatraveltravelgramtravelingourplanetinstagoodvacationtravellineloveworldingramworldtravelbookhavanabeautifulvacacionesadventuretravelmemories<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/1fb8f57ce00c7cdc2c05fbc65d4eded2/tumblr_otvm77jYRw1qisjfho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Live to love - @strivearrive (at Havana, Cuba)</p>https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163578091287https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163578091287Sat, 29 Jul 2017 19:49:55 -0400<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4bb82511d2cecdefe8a46b934d13f98d/tumblr_otrklgoBhq1qisjfho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>El 26 de Julio #vivalarevolución (at Mar Azul Playa del Este Habana Cuba)</p>https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163495504967https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163495504967Thu, 27 Jul 2017 15:24:52 -0400vivalarevolución<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/8cb5d5f514145e8082443ba75afa9cb9/tumblr_otjvvsx5iw1qisjfho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“It’s the North Cack baby I’m a boss<br/> Carolina barbecue sauce, with the slaw…” @gyamazawa 🎶 <br/> .<br/> .<br/> #carolinatheater #greensboro #durham #raleigh #northcarolina #nc #charlotte #entrepreneur #streetartistry #streetarteverywhere #winstonsalem #carolina #fashionblogger #queencity #clt #urbanart #streetart #streetphotography #streetartphotography #photooftheday #picoftheday #photography #fashion #instafashion #fashionista #stylish #instadaily #streetstyle (at The Carolina Theatre)</p>https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163329545022https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163329545022Sun, 23 Jul 2017 11:47:52 -0400streetartistrycarolinatheaterraleighstreetartphotographystreetarteverywherephotoofthedaycharlotteinstafashioncltfashionbloggerfashionistastylishstreetstyledurhamentrepreneurpicofthedaygreensboroncinstadailycarolinastreetphotographyurbanartstreetartphotographyqueencitywinstonsalemfashionnorthcarolina<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/9898631cbf484d1b95ab20f78a243052/tumblr_otd783vgyz1qisjfho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“And if I asked you to name all the things you love, how long would it take you to say yourself?”…<br/> .<br/> .<br/> #greensboro #love #happy #beautiful #instagood #motivation #smile #inspiration #people #life #fashion #dreams #strong #portrait #motivate #believe #happiness #me #selfie #strength #selfdevelopement #peace #blessupyourself #instadaily #truth #positivedays #quote #goodvibes #photooftheday #instalike (at February One)</p>https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163194256167https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163194256167Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:09:39 -0400instalikebelievebeautifulmotivationquoteblessupyourselfinstadailypeopleinstagoodphotoofthedaysmileinspirationselfiestrengthstrongmemotivatefashionlifeselfdevelopementpeacehappygoodvibestruthgreensborodreamsloveportraitpositivedayshappiness<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/c98540e8e66fb0369c84c4b8b1f73f7e/tumblr_ot5dhjjJzU1qisjfho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cheers to Weekend 🍻 <br/> .<br/> .<br/> #drinks #drink #happyhour #friends #love #happy #fun #instagood #bar #weekend #foodie #photooftheday #delicious #yummy #drinklocal #nightlife #lifestyle #beverage #washingtondc #dctapwater (at Busboys and Poets)</p>https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163026363617https://kaylapearsonphotography.tumblr.com/post/163026363617Sat, 15 Jul 2017 15:44:07 -0400weekenddrinksdrinkinstagoodhappyyummydrinklocalwashingtondclovefunfoodiephotoofthedaydeliciouslifestylebardctapwaterfriendsnightlifebeveragehappyhour<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/217fc89f4d374b686358422adc769d30/tumblr_ot3ad60SAu1qisjfho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Yea it’s raining, so what?
