Diana's take on Wisconsin

Curiouser

Excuse me, sir and madams
you're not the only ones who've got cameras.

The advance on a Diana makes this plasticky, ratchety sound. When I was advancing the film after this shot, the two cousins next to me turned to look at it with these hilarious amazed expressions. Eighteen-year-old says, "What is that?!"

K. again. I love her in these; she looks sturdy and ferocious about life, which she is. A firmly-set-chin sort of girl. I don't want anything to ever ever lessen that.

I got a roll of 120 back just today so I have a few older Diana shots to be sharing over the next couple days.

A silly story

Last year I had this cool attachment that one of my toy cameras (Diana F+) takes that allows it to take pictures on instant film—you know, like polaroids. I had fun with it and took it to Australia with me (scroll down in that post) but I ended up reselling it on eBay after a couple months (for about half what I got it for, pah) to get some extra money for Christmas presents.

But then—wait for it—I got some very nice birthday money and decided to spend some of it on another instant back for Diana and some film for it. Here are some shots from the first two packs of film, from this weekend.



Getting ice-cream-truck ice cream with Nikki on a walk after dinner.






Farmers' market.




Butterfly girls in the park. I think they were taking pre-prom pictures.


The Conservatory building at my college.


Perpetually dry fountain on the quad.

Days on the moon

Most recent roll from Diana, from when I visited the girl from the moon at her college. [I did know her offline first, so it was only a semi of a blogger meetup.]

Perth leftovers

Some more pictures from the rolls I got developed a couple weeks ago. I was having some Diana-part problems with the colors roll so they are not so clear. My apologies for that.













The black and white prints settled it for me: Analogue photography has totally won me over.
