photographs from milano.

for my one-week trip to Italy for Christmas I took my Diana Mini: she is definitely convenient to bring along because she is extremely light. despite the fact that it is not possible to fully control my shots and almost every photo eventually turns out different from the way I plan it - it is still so much fun. before traveling to my hometown to spend the holidays with my parents - I have spent one day in Milano: the weather was so sunny and warm that it was a real pleasure to walk around town with Jacopo.
photographs from Milano:

kodak portra 800.
I had never walked around Milano playing the part of a tourist before and it was very interesting to look at the city through the eyes of a foreigner: we managed to walk around some of our favourite areas of town taking photos and enjoying some delicious italian focaccia on the go - I had really missed that.
I will share more photos from my trip to Italy soon: I had taken many in my hometown - especially of the Alps!

    1. yes! era buonissima! mi era proprio mancata - soprattutto il fatto di poterla mangiare all'aperto, camminando! :-)

  2. Beautiful photographs! I would love to have grown up in such a beautiful hometown (though Espoo will always have a place in my heart! :D) And it's always refreshing to see a familiar place with a new perspective (as a tourist in one's hometown one can see things in a new light) ♥

    1. thank you, dear Annie! :-) actually, I don't think I could consider Milano my hometown - after all I was living there for 4 years only. my hometown is on the Alps, with my family, where I was born and where I lived until I was 19. I'll share some photos of it later on! ;-)

    1. thank you, dear Sirpa! Milano has a lot of beautiful buildings when it comes to the city centre - unfortunately the suburbs, built in the 1960's and 70's, are not that pretty...

    1. I do too! kodak portra is a really good film, isn't it? I think you should definitely visit Milano, but be careful: just parts of the city are so pretty! ;-)
