Aventures en France

” In July I traveled to the region of Alsace, France to shoot a wedding and to volunteer with a kids camp for a week. While in Alsace I visited the towns of Buhl, Guebwiller, and Colmar – they were all so picturesque and colorful, and I could walk around and take photos for days! I also went to Paris for the weekend before returning to the US. It was so freeing to shoot only film for all of my touring. I just had one camera, one lens, and two film stocks, and that was all I needed! I now am making it a goal to shoot mostly (if not all) film when I travel – it really does allow me to relax and slow down more, taking in what I see. I remember the moments of my trip more clearly, and that is something I value strongly. ” – Alyssa
