Trieste Travel Journal – September 2025

I was gifted a sketchbook from L Cornelissen of London, a marvellous thing, beautifully bound.

Sketchbook from L Cornelissen, 9.5 inches by 7.5 inches, thick cartridge paper

It seemed perfect for taking on a visit to Trieste, Italy.

I used it for notes, sketches, and as a sort of scrapbook. After the trip I added photos. Here are some of the pages.

Here is a video of the journal (silent, about 90 seconds).

The black and white photos are analogue, from a film camera. The camera is an Olympus XA2 point-and-shoot from the 1980s, and the film was Kentmere 400 pan, developed and printed by Analogue Wonderland.
