This is a collection of the last shots taken with my beloved Fujifilm XQ1, a small compact (but very capable) camera that accompanied me everywhere since I moved to Buenos Aires in 2014.
All these photographs correspond to a couple of trips I made last year (2018) around Europe:
- First, a short visit I made with other friends in Sofia (Bulgaria), the perfect place to run into a friend who was doing a volunteer with refugees and to meet a Bulgarian friend I didn’t see since 2010. Summing up: Communism, Orthodoxy, Rakia, cold weather and warm hugs.
- The second one was even more meaningful because it was not only a family trip, but a personal drive for my role model: my mother, who had a rare disease that deprived her of all mobility in less than a week but took her more than 6 months to walk again. The trip around Hungary, Slovakia and Austria was a personal bet we made at the hospital; a common objective to motivate and accelerate the recovery process. The result? I think the pictures below are the best evidence of how everything ended 😀
