So I got a ton of film back from the Galápagos Islands last week and I am happy with a bunch of it so I figured I should just let you guys see it all instead of posting the occasional photo on social media. You guys probably have had enough of my family vacation photos, but I promise this is the last update. 

A quick rundown in case you have missed all the previous posts… In April 2017 I went on the first family vacation I’ve been on in probably 20 years. We went to the incredible Galapagos Islands but within 24 hours of being on the boat my dad tripped on a rock and cut his head open and we had to return home so he could get medical attention. You can read all about that first trip here. 13 months later, thanks to my parent’s brilliant decision to get travel insurance, we returned to the Galapagos and this time we made it through the whole trip with no serious injuries (my horrifying sunburn doesn’t count). You can read about the second trip here.

Okay, so now that we are up to speed let me give you some information about the photos in this gallery that you might need to know. First of all, they aren’t in any sort of order because I was shooting on two different cameras on different days and the rolls are all mixed up and who cares. That being said, there is a break in the gallery where there are like 5 terrible underwater photos. I shot them with a plastic camera that I bought more than a year ago and the film was expired and looks terrible. You will notice the difference. Everything AFTER those photos are from 2017. So you have about 10 rolls of film from 2018 and like 3 or 4 from 2018. In total there are almost 200 photos and most of them are of cute animals.

The two cameras I used (not including the underwater one) were a Fujifilm Klasse (point & shoot) and my old Nikon N80 (SLR). The N80 was the first camera I ever bought with my own money after working a summer job. I still love the camera and I actually just bought another one on eBay for $33 because the flash is broken on my old one. The Klasse is also sadly broken and it put small scratches over nearly ever photo. I thought I had fixed it before the trip but I was wrong. You should be able to tell the difference pretty easily between the shots if you look for the scratches (please don’t look for the scratches). 

Aside from all the beautiful beaches and adorable wild life (baby boobies are real fucking cute and kinda terrifying) you will find some photos of my family. However my mom doesn’t want to be on my website so it’s pretty much just my dad and my brother. There’s also a few other people from the trip in there including this great old guy who told me his eyebrows made him look like an iguana so he counts as wildlife which his pretty hard to argue with. Lastly I should mention that if you don’t want to see my father’s skull through his ripped and bleeding flesh maybe stop looking at the photos when you get to the underwater shots. It’s not often you need a trigger warning for family photos but this shit is honestly pretty gruesome. 

Okay, that’s about it and thanks for putting up with my vacation photos. The Galapagos is the most incredible place I’ve ever been but I promise to get back to the drunk and naked people ASAP.
