Vienna is a city of contrasts. On the one hand, it is a city that retains, and celebrates, its Imperial magnificence and heritage. On the other, at a more human level, it is a place that is egalitarian and inclusive. Vienna consistently scores near the top of international league tables for quality of life and sustainability; the world looks here for a model of urban living in the 21st century. It is hard not to fall for the charms and the people of Vienna. This photo-essay includes just a few images from a recent trip. Taken with my trusty Nikon F100 and using Kodak Colorplus 200 film, the resulting “snaps”, for me, have a timeless quality … until you clue into the modern fashions, colours and cars that appear here and there. 

Photography: Analogue. Equipment: Nikon F100 [camera]; Nikon 50 mm [lens]; Kodak Colorplus 200 [film]
