    Spring Break in Polaroids

    I thought, now that one of my essays is done, that it was about time to post the first fruits of film from our travels. It's too expensive here to develop all the rolls of 35mm film I used, but maybe this week I'll get one done, you know, just to make sure they worked. Without further ado, then, 20 Polaroids in chronological order (click to expand):



    | left: literary walk--near Charles Dickens' house (and T.S. Eliot's office and Virginia Woolf's house, etc.)
    | right: St. Paul's Cathedral, looking foreboding



    | left: sleet in Paris, in front of this tower thing
    | right: Glamour Portrait #1: musical in front of some important building



    | left: Glamour Portrait #2: John and Mallarmé at the book vendors along the Seine
    | right: Glamour Portrait #3: Melody doing it Italian style

    | left: mid-hike, cold hands, overlooking foggy/rainy Bergen

    | left: Glamour Portrait #5: Sean, John, and Leif Ericson in front of Hallgrimskirkja ("Hallgrimur's Church")
    | right: wind in the bell-tower of Hallgrimskirkja (I look like a troll from Norway) with Ana's apartment in the background



    | left: John at Geysir hot springs
    | right: my personal favorite--lounging in the moss beside boiling springs
