I finally bought my Diana F+ camera today. I had been researching this camera for the past few weeks now. It is a replica of one mass produced in the 1980s in Communist Russia. Lomography was the producer. The concept behind this camera was to be the everyman camera for the Communist man. Its a great camera. I bought film for it and have begun taking random but hopefully artistic and beautiful pictures. Ashley and I spent about 15 minutes figuring out how to run the film, then we realized that we needed to insert the frame size to make it wind. Hehe, silly us.
After a doing this successfully we wandered off campus to take pictures so we could then run down to CVS to the 1 hour photo developing. Sad news: CVS on Wisconsin and O does NOT have 1 hour photo developing. This made me sad, but I do not have the time nor the drive to really run down to the Ritz Camera store on M St tonight. I can always save it for another day in which I feel like being unproductive. So here is a picture of me with my new camera. I really do like it. I can't wait to take it with me to Mexico. Hopefully I'll be able to get some amazing shots. I just need to make sure that I buy lots of film before leaving the US. Because as I last recall film is still expensive in Mexico.
This weekend is turning out to be relatively good, slightly unproductive, but hopefully I can change that tonight. Also, tonight is Pedrito's Christmas party...let's see how my Christmas sweater outfit goes! Gotta love themed parties in college. :)
Off I go to write and revise my Spanish papers.
Au revoir!
