Remembering Paris...

This time last year we were flying to Paris. In some ways I can't believe it's been a year already and in others I feel like past year has possibly felt like one of the longest of my life and more time has passed than it has.

After we first left Paris I missed it terribly and I'm amazed to find that even though I don't miss it as much as I did initially, I still miss Paris even now. It was a perfect getaway for us and part of me is already dreaming of the next time that we can go (as well as everywhere else in Europe!). So,  I've decided to spend the rest of August Break celebrating Paris, I looked through all my photos on here and of the 634 that I took only 194 were on here. That needs rectifying I think... so here are some photos taken with my favourite film/camera combination.

I shared this quote about Paris before, but I think it really does suit it so well, so I'm sharing it again.

“Paris? No, not this city. It’s too real and too beautiful. It never lets you forget anything. It reaches in and opens you wide, and you stay that way.” Jerry Mulligan, An American in Paris

Ah Paris...

Just this week, Diana, Amanda and Morgan and Kim have all shared film photos from Paris... and its been great to see them and remeber, I miss it so much! So I thought I'd share a few more photos that I haven't on here, it's been a while and I want some colour and sunshine. (Anyone else feeling remarkably uninspired by the dreary weather, where is Spring?!)

 Have a great weekend!!

In my last post about this film, I said that I didn't like it - and considering that I've been looking at these photos since September when we delevoped them, I can say that is still true. However I find myself in the same position with these photos as I was before... I love the composition and the content, but that green tint... ick.

I know I could Photoshop them and I might try on a few, but it seems silly to do that when I chose to use a cross-processed slide film, you expect colour shifts, I just didn't expect to not like it lol.

These photos are my favourite from the film I used in my Yashica Samurai.

p.s. I still have some Paris photos to share, are you bored yet? I took so many...
