Du Mol Journal

The cover is cut down from a 16″x24″ photo that I found in a box full of other photos on a curbside last year. Have no idea what country the photo was taken in, and it’s slightly out of focus which really throws off all of these shots here. The journal is cruising Italy at the moment with its new owner who reported that it’s getting some heavy use, and hopefully some wine spilled on it along the way.
