Our latest feature is a beautiful Peru travel story from film photographer Mallory Brooks. Here is more from Mallory about her time in the beach town of Punta Hermosa…

It was random; it was unplanned; it was amazing. That’s how I’d describe my husband’s and my time in the Peruvian beach town of Punta Hermosa, about an hours drive south of Lima. We arrived in Lima the morning after nation-wide protests spurred a curfew in the city — and caused us to reconsider our plans. Fortunately, the curfew lifted that evening, and we were able to stay in Lima as planned, but protests continued in the region of Ica, where we were heading next. A random encounter with an expat American couple at lunch that first day suggested we consider heading to the beach where they lived, Punta Hermosa. So we did, and that’s how we ended up in this place we never would have known about! For these photos of this beautiful little beach town, I used a combination of Kodak Ektar 100 and Fuji C200 films in my Pentax K1000 and Olympus Stylus point and shoot camera.

Analog cameras and films used: Pentax K1000 (Find at KEH Camera or on eBay), Olympus Stylus (Find at KEH Camera or on eBay) | Kodak Ektar 100 (Find on Amazon), Fujifilm C200 (Find on Amazon)
