victoria falls

These are just some of the polaroids I took in Zimbabwe. I loaded a second pack, but I managed to take 2 pictures before the battery in the film decided to die and that was that. I was so sad. but I managed to make some nice instant old memories before that happened. So I was happy again.

My parents grew up in Zimbabwe and I used to go there all the time as a kid/teenager. I hadn’t been in quite a few years so it was cool to have my parents take both Shane and I around to all their old haunts. Zimbabwe is such a cool place, I always hope things will get better.

1) Victoria falls – awesome. 2) A sign that I nearly got a arrested for shooting because it was at a police road block – wow. 3) Me in a grocery store – stupid face. 4) An orange car in front of some orange petrol pumps. 5) The old Country Club that my parents used to hang out at when they were teenagers – it’s completely rundown now, but I can see how it must of been so awesome back in the day – shame. 6) A broken down bus – I like buses. 7) My dad on the Zambezi river – love you dad. 8. My gran’s house that she still owns and is renting out to someone. the sign next to the front gate still has my grandfather’s name on it – Made me sad. 9) The awesome yellow flowered trees that are everywhere  in Bulawayo – so beautiful. 10) Shane and I on the Zambezi river. 11) An abandoned jungle gym – it must be so lonely. 12) My mom and dad outside the Town Hall where they had their wedding reception 34 years ago –  double wow and awesome.
