Beauty Is A Rare Thing

I want this to be the last set of photos from Europe so I can finally have my site caught up with what I've been doing within the last two weeks at least.. Therefore, I've compiled the two last rolls of Black and White that hadn't been developed until now. My girlfriend had one of them, and I had the other. Her photos are primarily from The Netherlands, whereas mine are primarily from our stay in Spain and a few from Norway as well.. The extra roll that I'm posting was accidentally double exposed from our stay in Barcelona/Paris WITH my most recent trip to Chicago. I had no idea at the time, and I can't exactly tell if I'm angry or not, because the end results were rather satisfactory. I guess you be the judge.. Leave a comment or something :).. doubt it haha..

I wish the photo of me eating watermelon ever-so stereotypically at the Wicker Park Festival was untouched. :/

There was this night in Barcelona during the Festival de Sant Joan where the streets were straight madness.. Fireworks being set off everywhere.

People of all ages roaming the streets. Energy was pulsating throughout the whole city and you could see and feel it.

Alcohol, families, gambling, drugs, laughter, music, dancing, singing, yelling, fighting, sexing - all within the same vicinity of one another. On one side of the street

you could find a group of old men having a friendly gambling match, and if you looked a lil further down the street a few young kids looked as if they

were lighting up their first joint. If you looked across the street, you'd find couples having sex or getting there on top of cars, while other danced the night away, or

simply congregated on the streets enjoying the sights before them.

Needless to say, this was one memorable night that definitely stuck out of all my nights in Europe, and life in general.. I was glad that I had my camera to capture 25% of how

awesome this night really was..

A view of Barcelona from the hills, seen through the eyes of Wrigley field

Some photos were left relatively untouched with just vague mentions of Chicago in random places such as the curtains

The key is to look at the chin.

MY FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THIS SET. We literally almost got arrested just for these shots of Wrigley Field. What we did was highly illegal, but what's

left of the adventure is this one photo and of course our memory. I just wish I could have shown more, because it was a spectacular night. Pause.
