Rabias, Spain

Rabias, Spain. August 2014.

One of my favorite memories from our trip was this super chill day where just hung out at the beach. Lauren spotted it on a map and we took a chance and drove over. I think there were less than 20people on the beach that day.

Comillas/Laguardia/Elciego, Spain

One of the biggest adjustments in film photography is the delayed gratification part. Make the photograph and then you wait.

But I’m starting to discover that the waiting part is one of the best things about film photography.

I just received these scans back from the lab. As our summer vacation approaches the end it’s so nice to relive our first week of vacation of some little towns in northern Spain.

Picos de Europa National Park, Spain

We are currently in Adare, Ireland but I just received my medium format film scans from our travels to Spain.

These photographs were taken in Picos de Europa National Park which is about 30km inland from the northern coast of Spain. I’m so grateful that we had an opportunity to explore and witness that part of the country. It’s a beautiful place and couldn’t recommend it more.
