Travel Story Contents

NOTE: Please excuse the wretched quality of my photography in the following pages. In particular I shot the first three rolls with the date setting on (and the wrong date) before I got anything developed. The dates aren't in any of the pictures after that, but there is occasional hair /dust on the lens and other rookie mistakes.
