Happy Belated Birthday Leigh! Welcome to your 30's! Hope you guys had a great turkey day abroad too! Can't wait to hear about your adventures! Passed the new MS Crafts building in Jxn and thought about you.
hi. love your blog & green with envy over your trip! how lovely for you all. your hubby is a good man for planning such a great suprise. amazing pictures!!! happy belated b-day.
beautiful! thanks for sharing. seems like so many bloggers i've been following have been to paris in the last few weeks . . . and i'm totally jealous. someday i shall return. glad you had a good time. :)
Aw, thanks ya'll! I'm so glad you like these photos :) I actually took them on my little Sony point-and-shoot digital and then I played around with them on iPhoto to get the lomography-esque effects. It's funny, because I was really unhappy with the way they looked when I first took them, but after I tweaked the colors and added the gauzy/blurred/vignetted edges they became some of my favorites from the trip! I am such a sucker for my Diana -- sometimes the regular digital photos just look sooo sterile in comparison...like where's the atmosphere?! I did take some shots with my Diana while I was in Paris, but I have yet to get them developed. If they turn out nice I'll definitely post them here.
That first shot is absolutely breathtaking. Isn't Paris great inspiration material? I lived there for a while and never got sick of it. Can't wait to hear more about your trip!
Hi, and welcome. My name is Leigh. After over ten years of living in NYC, I recently moved to the 'burbs with my amazing husband, Taro, and our three beautiful children. Once upon a time, I was a sculptor. I am a lifelong unschooler. I am passionate about issues related to pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, as well as art, design, fashion, travel, books, music, and food. I hope you enjoy my eclectic mix of topics. Feel free to join in the conversation! I love comments and emails.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What did you use?
ReplyDelete(ps: SO JEALOUS!)
Wow! Gorgeous and magical!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'd love to know about what it was like traveling with a toddler abroad... any unique challenges/considerations?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. There is a softness to them; the word "satin" kept coming to my mind as I looked at them. Were they taken with the Holga?
ReplyDeleteI really need to dig mine out again. We took our honeymoon pics with a Holga, and they are some of my most treasured photos.
