Here are two more photos of a fellow passenger aboard a river cruise, this time in Paris. I was on a sightseeing cruise on the Seine when I noticed a woman wearing a lavender hat taking a selfie and snapped a few photos myself.

This beachfront house in Bernières-sur-Mer, France is the home of Hervé & Nicole Hoffer.

Bayeux

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Portra 160 No Comments

These photos were shot in Bayeux, a town in Normandy, France. I spent a few nights in Bayeux, using it as a home base to explore many of the surrounding towns and WWII battlefields. I even had the opportunity to wander freely inside the Bayeux Cathedral, which was consecrated in 1077 by William the Conqueror’s […]

Arromanches shot on LomoChrome Turquoise film

With the recently announced return of LomoChrome Turquoise, I thought I might post a few photos and share my thoughts on this color-shifting emulsion. Of all Lomography films, this one has the wildest color palette. This is not a film for the faint of heart. If you prefer natural or even saturated colors, you will […]

These photos are of the Vimy Memorial, Canada’s monument to the 60,000 Canadian soldiers who gave their lives in France and to all those who served in World War I.

Notre Dame

35mm, AgfaPhoto CT Precisa 100, Canon Rebel 2000, France No Comments

It’s sad to think about the destruction and loss of history caused by the Notre Dame fire. I was fortunate enough to have visited Notre Dame a few years back and snap some photos. I even got to go inside but I didn’t really see much. There were too many tourists and since it was […]

These are from Honfleur, France. They were shot using Orwo NP7 400 from Labeauratoire. Unfortunately, this film needed more exposure. As you can see, it turned out rather dark and excessively grainy.

These were all shot with my Canon Canonet QL17 Giii. I love this little camera and had a great time capturing these images in Honfleur, France.
