You know how sometimes you take a picture that perfectly describes a snippet from a book that you’ve read? I love it when that happens. While I’m not sure how often I’ll be able to match the shots that I take with the books that I read, I wanted to share these moments on the blog. When I went to Europe last month, I brought along my Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim film camera with me and was able to go through a couple of rolls. I received the results last Friday. I think some of them turned out great while some left me wondering what the hell was I trying to achieve while taking those pictures. One can never really predict the results when shooting lomo. I guess it’s not surprising that some of these pictures made me think of Laura Florand’s books.
From The Chocolate Thief by Laura Florand:
“She liked to just walk all over the city. She really never saw a cobblestone street or an old building she didn’t like.”
Montmartre, Paris
April 2014
Camera: Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim
Film: Fuji Velvia
I think it’s fitting that both of these pictures have couples in them, perfect for a Laura Florand romance. 🙂

Beautiful photos, Chachic! You captured a mood perfectly AND a wonderful sight to remember too. (I think it really captures that feel, like you said!)

Thanks, Alexa! Those pictures just go so well with that particular quote, I just had to make a post about it.
