Underexposed












I thought I'd show you anyway the last photos I took with the Canon A-1. I won't use this camera any time again soon, but looking back at these photos, even though my first impression was a huge disappointment, I think these grey blue hues have a certain, involuntary, charm.

We are heading to Marseille tonight: yay!!!!!

A song for the travel :)

I love the ambiance in these photos, dark, but in a good way. The second one from the bottom looks like something from a dream...

You can just have told me these were exposed as you wanted because they look so great and moody.

Oh je les aime beaucoup.
De petits rayons de lumière,
qui leur donnent un air mystérieux.

The atmosphere is fantastic in these pics - like you were taking pictures at 4 in the morning while Paris was sleeping (although I know it was more like 4 in the afternoon...)
