Europe in Black & White

6 years ago
1 min read
I spent the winter of 2004-2005 driving around Europe with my 35mm Minolta X-700 and a bag of film. The trip was one of those crazy adventures, no real plan, just a rented Peugeot with unlimited miles, a sleeping bag and a camera. It took me to 8 countries, over 18,000km, 1 flat tire, a stolen alarm clock, new friends, and it was an adventure that I will never forget.

This last month as I was packing for my big cross-country move and I found the box of photos from my European road trip and I thought I would scan some in share my favorites. I hope to go back soon and visit some of the places I enjoyed so many years ago.
