München

I got my roll of film back from the lab and spent hours scanning the negatives as they forgot to give me the cd with the photos. But they turned out nice!

I took these shots around the Museum Brandhorst, a beautiful new building (the architects are Sauerbruch & Hutton from Berlin) with a great art collection inside.
And the icecream you can buy on the other side of the street (at Balla Beni) makes it even better. I went there three times in four days. Their icecream is so good you can feel Italy is just around the corner, or behind the Alps.

More photos tomorrow. Too much computer today.

I came back from Munich on Monday, and yesterday I suffered from something I have called the climate-jetlag...The weather was so different there, real autumn temperatures, and light, and rain. Getting off the airplane I thought I was in the tropics!! And I'm still acclimatizing. By the way, I'm sorry I always complain about the weather. I don't like the heat, and sometimes I think I still have to figure out if I live in the right country...

Munich was really good. I shot two rolls of film there but apparently I didn't load the first one into the camera correctly, so the first 36 photos I took exist only in my head. That had never happened to me before and I was really shocked when I noticed it. So stupid!!!!!! I hope at least the second roll comes out well.

The photos above are unrelated, let's see if I'm able to coordinate photos and writing at some point. I hope to show you some Munich photos in the afternoon.
These ones are from some walks around town last week, taken with a camera I hadn't used before, the EXA 1a. I find it a bit complicated to get the framing right with it, and it doesn't have a light meter, but it looks cute, and the photos turned out better than I thought they would.

I'm leaving for Munich now. I'll be back on Monday, hopefully with some nice photos and adventures to tell you about.
Thanks a lot for your nice comments during the last days.

Have a very lovely weekend!!

(The photo is one of my favourites from our New York trip.)

hello september!

It's grey and windy today. My feet are a tiny bit cold for the first time in months.
The shops and cafés that are closed during August are opening their doors and cleaning windows. The streets are full of traffic, everything gets back to normal.
Septembers in Barcelona are still quite summery, but you can feel the transition from summer to fall and I love that; the light is different, warmer, in the morning you can wear long sleeves, and there are definitely less tourists around.

Tomorrow I'm going to Munich to visit my sister over the weekend. Do you have any suggestions, like comfy cafés, nice shops, beautiful secret places? I don't know the city at all, and my sister just moved there.
I would love you to leave me a comment!!

The photos are from a family brunch in France and from my apartment, shot with the wonderful Ilford Delta 3200.
