Ah, I can’t believe it’s happened! My travel photos from Big Bend are published in the May/June 2021 edition of Southern Travel & Lifestyles Magazine.

How did this happen, you might ask?

An old gal pal of mine from college, Alyssa, is a writer for Southern Travel & Lifestyles. We actually met in the dorms of Kinsolving way back in 2003 and we’ve stayed in touch on social media ever since. She commented on how much she enjoyed my photos of Texas and asked if I would be willing to publish a few and I said absolutely! I handed her a folder of photos from our recent camping trip and here is how they turned out:

When I get the hard copy I’ll share more on my Instagram – @djemils

I am so proud of myself! I love traveling and exploring new places – and I love sharing what I find through photos and writing. There is so much out there waiting for us! I can only hope that this is the beginning of many collaborations with travel groups, publications, blogs, etc in the future.
