I took these a couple of weeks ago in my favorite coffee shop in San Sebastian with my Pentax MZ-50. (That´s how long it takes to develop black and white film in my town.) A nice little lesson in the virtue of patience. Then again, living in Spain one has got this pretty much mastered. ;)
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
P.D. Si alguien es de Madrid, estoy buscando colegios para mi hijo que va a empezar con bachiller. Si me podríais aconsejar alguno os lo agradecería :) ¡Un abrazo muy fuerte!
P.S. Conny I can´t get to your blog. Help!

Love my visits here and thanks for stopping by mine! I think I eat enough almonds...I shouldn't have to use almond oil! Ha!
I love the first photo, with the high angle looking down on the coffee-drinkers! Looks like a still from a movie.
Enjoy your weekend!
talking about black and white, here and there (in my place too :))
it´s completely "black" now- it´s night and i think i should go to bed... see you (better) soon!
hugs!
Living in Spain gives you such creative materials!;)
I never print black and white, don't even know where to start.
Enjoyed your photos and envy of your Spanish. Happy Sunday Jane.
I love your B&W photos!

Hey I had never saw you speaking spanish!
I loved these pictures, they make me feel so warm and the smell of coffe and hot chocolate is here in front of me :)
big kisses janey!
fab shots. want a latte now.
ha ha. I'm sure living in small towns in spain helps develop your patiente, hun. however, I reckon small towns in holland, the states or anywhere else would be the same thing...
I especially like No.3. That is a great photo.
superb series! I have a B&W film in my camera right now. Looking forward to see what comes out of it.
watching your photography i can smell the coffee! how do you do that?!
beautiful! I love you are living there and you are sharing with us those amazing shoots!
después de leerte en español puedo imaginarte hablando como toda una española!
love these... there's just something about film photography. it's worth the wait!
Ahhh...loving life in the slow lane.
Jane, I have a friend living in Alcobendas and that she is "psicologa" in one school in Madrid. She has been working there for some years...maybe write email to me saying what kind of school, area and so on and will ask her if you want.

Me encanta el ambiente del lugar. Somehow taking black and white pictures adds essence to the photos. love them all!

oh, how beautiful!
These are fantastic..... wow!
you are the best. it feels like a celebrity has visited my blog when you drop a line. ; ) i'm so inspired by your photos and succinct passages. i think i could live in spain because st. maarten has taught me a lot of patience too..
I love these photographs!
Oh, I love San Sebastian. Hubby and I spent 6 months there in the early '90s.
gorgeous and elegant, a meditation on the perfection of coffee in today's world:))
Love the B&W, and the bilingual post:)

Great shots! Looks like you have a great time too.
manana manana (i miss my Spanish keyboard)!! those pictures are beautiful!
Beautiful shots. I love B&Ws.
Tes photos sont sublimes !
Il y a quelque chose de spécial dans les photos en noir et blanc...
Bonne semaine
These pics were worth waiting for!
what beautiful pictures. It was worth the wait, come one look how lovely you captured the mood. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your beautiful blog.
Jane! These are gorgeous. LOVE them.
These b/w photos are gorgeous! I would like to visit there oneday...
One word Jane -- Photoshop.
:) D
Hello! Where are you finally going to live? I think it would be a good idea to check the schools near your home, this is so big that you can spend a lot of time getting to and from school. Besos
it was worth the wait, jane! these are so lovely.
p.s. good luck with your sewing... believe me i will be sending you little sympathy hugs. there's a bunch more drudgery sewing waiting for me, too. bah!
Fantastic set of photos!! I wish I could live in Spain.
lovely!!!
these are so amazing. i adore monochrome and am even more impressed that you shot them with film. as you said to me the other day- only one chance! the result is worth everything, the wait (really 2 weeks?) the risk -really all they are wonderful
Ahh, Jane ~ sorry 'bout that. I'm in the process of changing Hidden Acres Studio ~ so I promise you won't need a password once it's up and running again. I'll let you know when the link is good again (probably some time in Feb.) and I'll let Teresa know too for the CV.
I love you B&W work as much as the color ~ such awesome pictures! Cheers~
gorgeous! i especially like those bikes in the first image :)
beautiful beautiful beautiful!
i started photography in black'n'white. seems a far cry from what i'm doing these days, but b&w still really does it for me though. thak you for this subconscious reminder. the mood is smashing.
Beautiful B&W, Nostalgic and modern. I can't remeber if I have seen B&W from you before.... I don't hink I have.
i loved spain thru u
n fact i think i'll make a visit.. but dont know about people opinion on Hejab and islam
eventhu, i think it worth thu
Original y encantadora serie de fotografías, Jane!!!
Un gran abrazo!!! ;)
These are really beautiful. You have such talent. And I hope to visit San Sebastian one day - it is one of my sister's favorite places on Earth.
Fantásticas fotos y fantástico plan para un domingo con frio!!!
