Trip to Paris

February 8, 2026 at 1:41 am

Here are some photo scans I recently found from my trip to France back in the summer of 2000. Most of these were taken on 110 Film.

The Paris Metro photo below was probably taken on my regular 35mm film camera.

Amusement park rides at a summer carnival in the Tuileries Garden – these are on 110 Film.

Other Paris area landmarks I visited included the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Picasso Museum, Musée d’Orsay, and the Palace of Versailles. I also did this freehand drawing of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. I regret not making more of an effort to see the interior, but it was so crowded and confusing that I ended up briefly popping my head in before giving up.

I also took a train into the countryside for a couple days and visited Angers. I saw the Cointreau Factory, and also the Apocalypse Tapestry at Château d’Angers, which was amazing. Hopefully one of these days I’ll have time to find and scan more photos of this trip.

I took all the photos in this collage myself.

Chicago landmarks include the Michigan Avenue Bridge and the Art Institute. Crying Girl by Roy Lichtenstein has been heavily pixellated since the copyright is still active.

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2026 at 5:10 am

Up until recently I’ve felt like a Chicagoan living in Florida, but now after almost five years I feel like I’m turning into a Floridian, complete with Crocs and a tan.

This might be the year we go back north, but it’s hard to weigh the pros and cons because the two places are so different. All I can say for sure right now is I’ll be happy either way.

Here is to a safe and productive 2026. Happy New Year!
