Diana
I’m not going to be jumping on the film bandwagon that a lot of professional photographers seem to be jumping on anytime soon. But, I did have a lot of fun with my Diana camera while on vacation in Maui. I bought the Diana a few years ago. I took a roll with it and got frustrated because I couldn’t figure out how to load the film. I thew it in a cabinet and got it out again last year when we went to Hawaii. Those pictures turned out horrible! So, back in the cabinet it went. I took it to Seattle and didn’t use the whole roll so I decided to take it on vacation this year to see what happened. And I’m so glad I did because I love the results.
The thing I love about film is that you have to concentrate every time you click the shutter. It’s a challenge. And it’s exciting waiting to see the results.
I love the Diana because it’s unpredictable. And because it makes me look artsy when I’m really not. It’s just the inherent light leaks of the camera and the film advancing when it’s not supposed to. The pictures just make me happy.
Here are a couple of my favorites. You can see the rest on the DrewB Blog.
And one from Seattle

Love your pictures Drew!
I’ve kind of wanted to try one of these since my photography instructor spent a class talking about them and showing some examples of the finished work. But I’m surprised to see yours in color, I’ve never seen any Diana pictures that aren’t black and white!
