I will be stepping into a taxi in less than one hour and heading to the Nice airport for nearly 24 hours of travel back to Seattle as my time here at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival is complete. I will be posting a proper wrap-up to the festival once the Palme d'Or is announced this Sunday, but for now I thought I would share the last batch of photos I had, on the heels of posting my final review.

These are basically images from around Cannes that I saw on a daily basis walking back-and-forth from my apartment to the Palais. I wouldn't say any of them are necessarily extraordinary, and I am still upset I didn't get a shot of any one of my several espressos, but I guess we can't win 'em all.

I hope you've enjoyed my coverage and that you like a few of these images.

The street-side condom dispenser. I was going to take this picture anyway, and just happened to catch it when she was cleaning out the cash.

"Smoking Causes Cancer" and "Smoking Kills" — I'm not a smoker and I wonder if America had images like these on cigarette boxes how many people would quit

For some reason the walk/don't walk signs here intrigue me

    Sssswwwweeeeeetttt!

    What camera did you use to take these lovely images?

    • Brad Brevet (Post Author)

      Just a puny Kodak camera, this one in fact. The zoom is awful, I want to buy a good camera one of these days. There were some shots of the moon while I was over there that would have been amazing, but I couldn't get a good picture to show you guys.

    Beautiful pictures. I especially enjoyed the condom dispenser.

    Next stop, Comic Con?

    So it's expensive for you to go to Comic Con, two states from you, but not expensive for you to go to France for two weeks?

    • Brad Brevet (Post Author)

      One is expensive and worth it, the other is expensive and not. And don't go thinking it's cheap to go to San Diego during Comic Con, because it's not. Most importantly, I can cover Comic Con without even going. Post a trailer, post a picture and you're done.
