Disposable Camera in Europe

My Mamiya 645 camera stopped working two-thirds through my European vacation, leaving me with only a Polaroid in Amsterdam and Dublin.  I decided to pick up a couple of disposable cameras from the drug store.  I am disappointed not to have photos like in London and Paris, but the disposable results have their own small-town kind of charm.

I still have to take my Mamiya to the camera doctor (International Camera on Wabash).  Perhaps banging over Amsterdam cobblestones in my bike basket did her in.

Polaroids from Europe

My Polaroid Land Camera 250 came to Europe with me.  The vintage folding camera and accompanying Fuji pack film are very fussy.  Trisha, my patient traveling companion, could attest to time I spent messing with these pictures.  I really wanted the camera to take pictures for our travel journals, but at times I questioned whether it was worth the trouble.  But at the end of the day, I simply adore the results.  Polaroid is my soft spot.
