Hello from Chicago! We're in town for a few days while T is on a work trip. E and I joined him for a few days of deep dish pizza and city living! I used to travel with my big DSLR, but these days snacks and diapers take up that space. I was excited when Canon asked if they could send me their new Canon IVY CLIQ+ to try out. Last summer we spent a week on the Cape with family, and one of the cousins brought an instant print camera. During the week they went through lots of film, hanging …
