Disposable Italy.

Summer this year in the UK wasn’t great, was it?  Not in terms of weather at least.  In the middle of September 2012 Italy came along and saved the day and provided summer for two intrepid explorers who were frankly fed up of the constant, nonsensical rain and lack of the much loved and desired sun.  They drank fine Tuscan wines, got hilarious at the leaning tower of Pisa, and walked around going “ooooh” and “ahhh” at the heart swelling, soul jolting beauty of the Cinque Terre.  This trip was not even ruined for them by the rudeness of the gelato vendors or by the time that they went to a restaurant and ate the most unimaginably abominable carbonara imaginable.  They shudder to imagine it now…

Yes, Italy in the later bit of summer 2012 held good times for these travellers.  Two disposable cameras worth of good times, look:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disposable NYC.

Ruth is a loyal friend of Shot Simple’s.  Here’s her blurb describing the pictures that she took just for us in New York, New York:

“Here’s a literal snapshot of my first ever visit to New York – there’s not much to say by way of explanation. I tried to avoid ‘tourist’ shots but then got a bit carried away at the Ground Zero memorial.  Also, I couldn’t resist one of the Empire State – ever present and looming, until you’re right next to it – when it suddenly becomes invisible.

My favourite picture is the one of the Neenah Foundry manhole cover.  I wonder if they make ambulances too.

Aren’t American cars the best/worst?  I think those ‘wood panelled’ station wagons are fab.”

Thanks a lot, Ruth.  Got a lot of enjoyment from taking a look at this excellent set of photos from an excellent city.

Disposable Kissells in Italy.

Bruce and Kirsty Kissell did such a great job of documenting their New Year’s Eve festivities that I thought I’d give them another camera to take on their summer holiday to Italy.  They came back with yet another stellar set of pictures, so well done to them!
