Shopping in Paris

I found a roll of film from my October trip to Paris and developed it over the weekend.  I discovered photos I took while shopping at Galeries Lafayette.

Wish I could go back soon!

Paris Cafe

Wandered the streets of Paris in the rain.  

Sought refuge in a cafe for a cappuccino and crepe sucre.

Then the sun came out.

In time for more walking and shopping.

Love Paris.

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.

A Roll of Film from Paris

I returned from a trip to Europe on Monday.  London, Paris and Amsterdam were my destinations, with a quick stop-over in Dublin.  I've been developing my film since, slowly, roll-by-roll.  Here is every picture from one roll of Kodak Tmax 400 from my Mamiya 645 - all 15 photos in the order I took them.  

Sigh.  I want to return already.  Paris is the most beautiful city.  I could walk around Paris taking photos forever.
