Chicago from the River
Here are some scenery photos I took during the summer while cruising down the Chicago river through downtown.

Oh, my goodness! I never realized this video existed! It was in a zip drive of digital photos that my traveling companion Trisha sent me and somehow I only noticed it today, over a year later.
Basically, my friend Trisha was recording me taking a Polaroid in the Tuilerie Gardens in Paris, but my goofy SX-70 malfunctioned. Don’t you hate it when that happens? Anti-climatic. :)
Random Paris
I posted hundreds of photos last year from my trip to Paris. Today I went looking through my archives and noticed several photos that I passed over the first time as unremarkable. Well, they’re still not great, but now I consider them remarkable because, duh, they’re of PARIS! Everything I aimed my camera at was lovely.

Cook-Out
I’m totally missing summer!!
Cook-outs: one of life’s little pleasures.

I maintain a pro Flickr account mainly as a backup to store and archive my photos. I’m not active in the community, but it’s interesting to see when other users “favorite” one of my photos. As a sort of “year in review” post, below are 12 of my photos with the most favorites on Flickr - a surprising group.
#1 - 153 favorites - My Rivendell in the woods
#2 - 123 favorites - Snowy bridge in Geneva, IL
#3 - 55 favorites - Open wide for macarons
#4 - 46 favorites - Pantheon in Paris

Clearly, Flickr users like pictures of Paris. :) Almost all of these were taken with my Nikon FM2, one with a borrowed Olympus OM-1 and one with my Polaroid SX-70. Most of the film is Kodak Ektar 100, some Fuji Superia 400.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year. May it be filled with cameras and film.

A quick stop on the way to the Raleigh airport today from my hometown. I’m back in Chicago now.

Dreamy film photography with a host of vintage cameras.
