Bunnyshop Hearts: The Diana Camera
We were sooo excited the Lomography Society made our year and sent us this reissue of the Diana camera the day before we left for Africa (more about that tomorrow.) We were excited even though are pictures are bound to be crap when we get them developed, even if we are sure they are going to be all masterpiece-like when we take them. (We are, thus far, always wrong about that.) So anyway, it took us about four days to figure out how to load the film in, but we did, and we just dropped off our five rolls of it today. We are sure the resulting pictures will be amazing. (They will not be. Hope, springing, etc.) In any case, this color-saturated, high-contrast image is the kind that the Diana is famous for. How could we not be excited when we might be able to take a picture of a dog like that? A picture like that, or a dog like that, either way, pulses=racing. More or less.
Lomo's Diana camera, $50
I really want one now! Please post some pics when you get them back.

Yes! Please post them! This looks awesome! Is the special film expensive?

We will have the prints tomorrow! We are so excited, even though we're sure we screwed up all of them. And the film was really super cheap: under $5 per roll. Only 12 (or 16) shots per roll, but still, we were expecting it to be way more expensive. Will be back with results asap!

That has got to be the coolest camera ever if it takes shots like that. I'm stoked and I'm getting one even tho I have a really expensive digicam anyway. I have 3 mind you! Thanks!
