Film photos! Taken with my Fujifilm Instax Mini 50S and photographed because I don’t have a working scanner. I’ve got to get a new one, I think they’re only like $50 these days. More photos tomorrow!

Welcome to Letters from the City, a lifestyle photoblog.
My name is Alex and I have been blogging in some form or another since 1998. I’m a former Manhattanite now living the quieter life in Brooklyn. I like outerwear and red lipstick.
When I was younger, I was let loose in a GAP Kids one too many times, resulting in many of the fashion choices you see here in my photos. I also read, traveled, and took cooking and art classes. Art eventually led me around to photography, and to this day I do enjoy a good brunch.
Thank you for visiting! I hope you'll stay a while and get to know me. Learn More →

You always look like you’re having such a good time with your friends! I really like seeing the pictures. :) (P.S. You should tell me two colors that you like together.)

I think I may have told you that Lucky Strike in Chicago is actually a bowling alley! Love the photos and what a cool effect your camera takes! Just responded to your question on the nail polish via twitter :)
Alex Elizabeth says
Lucky Strike is a bowling alley here too, but this is Keith McNally’s (Balthazar) restaurant. I’ve never been to the bowling alley but heard it’s fun!
