Adventures in Film

FILED IN: Travel

My grandparents were avid travelers. After they retired from the USPS, Grammie and Grandpa spent a lot of their free time exploring the US (Alaska and Hawaii included), Europe, and Australia. I like to believe that’s where I got my love for travelling.

Last year before I took off for London, my Grandpa bestowed on me the camera that he and Grammie took with them to all of their destinations- a Canon AE-1. One year later, I finally learned how to use it and shot my first roll of film. I had no expectations for these shots, but overall they came out pretty awesome! I love the color and subtle imperfections that film offers. Not to mention, the fact that I didn’t have to spend any time post processing!

Hopefully someday this little baby can revisit some of it’s past destinations a second time around with a owner.
