Los Angeles in 35mm

As I sit here in quarantine, I can’t help but reminisce about my bachelorette weekend in Los Angeles this past February. Eight of my closest friends and I rented an Airbnb in the heart of Venice, steps away from Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Not one for your “typical” bachelorette drinking activities - mainly because I am just too old to weather a hangover with dignity - we spent the weekend window shopping on Abbot Kinney, eating very well at Gjelina, Scopa, and Butcher’s Daughter (to name a few), hiking Los Leones in the Pacific Palisades, and exploring DTLA and Little Tokyo, my favourite neighbourhoods in the city. On our final day in LA, we journeyed over to Malibu for a Malibu Wines Safari, where we sipped local Californian wine amongst animals named after celebrities - you can’t get more LA than that! The weather in LA was perfect, and the weekend was a much-needed respite from Toronto’s never-ending winter.

These photos were taken on Kodak Portra 400 in Los Angeles, Malibu, and Manhattan Beach.

Europe in 35mm

My favourite photos from my travels are always the ones taken with film. Unlike digital, with film there is no quest for perfection; you just click the shutter and hope the memories last forever, imperfect as they may be. These captured moments from my time in France, Italy, and Switzerland were taken on both my Canon A-1 and Nikon L35AF with my favourite colour films: Kodak Ultramax 400, Fujifilm Superia 200, and Kodak Ektar 100.
