I'm so sad because this is the last film installment of Jerry & I's journey through France (visit part 1 & part 2 and be on the lookout for some digital & instax blogs). Oh, how I love black & white film so much. These shots come from our rainy day walk throughout Paris & our view of Charles de Gaulle airport the night before we left. There is something magical about airports, the lights, the coming & going. Let's just say...I can't wait to go back.

Love this boy!

Oh, Laudree is heaven for any sweet lover. Best pastries we had the whole trip, and I ate every pastry in all of France.

Caramel with salted butter, Raspberry, Brazil Pure Origin Chocolate...heaven. Pure heaven.

Jerry dropped a piece of this on the sidewalk. He picked it back up & ate it because it was too good to go to the pigeons.

You know me, I've got to have my coffee...all day, everyday.

It was a blustery day at the Lourve.

Our instax travels!

Airplanes coming in to land.

Always after that European chocolate!

The digital & instant film part of "France, a one-week love affair" will continue! Keep an eye out for them!

Let me just tell you now, Jerry & I had quite the whirlwind of a summer. We graduated college, got married, traveled to Antigua for honeymoon part 1, & for part 2 of our honeymoon, ended up in France with his family! We are so blessed to have been able to travel so much and be able to enjoy family time (& macarons!) abroad. I went into this adventure with a bag full of cameras...well, 2 bags full of cameras. I decided that with all my leftover film from my darkroom photography class, my new & fabulous Instax camera (thank you Allie Russell & Lauren McCay), my trusty iPhone, and my good ol' Nikons (digital & film!), I was going to try to encompass Henri Cartier-Bresson as I traveled through his home country. While I am certainly NOT Henri (although I wish I was the photoninja that he clearly is), it was truly a sweet opportunity for me to release all my creativity in many different formats. So...7 rolls of t-max 400, 6 instax cartridges, thousands of iphone & digital images, and 7 months later, I finally have for you, France, a one-week love affair.

P.S. I love Jerry for trekking around with me & carrying my equipment :)

Part 1 starts out at Gare de Lyon in Paris as we are en route to Le Paradou (near the wine town, Le Baux) in Provence. While in Provence, we travelled to Aix-en-Provence, which is where this post ends.
