So I tried to title this Dirty Diana but blogger changed dirty to all ?. That's really funny. I guess its some sort of parental control or something (In case it does it again the title is a Michael Jackson song and something that happens to you when you roll around in DIRT) I never figured blogger for a prude.
Anyways I've been experimenting with my Diana+ camera. For those of you who don;t know what a Diana+ is it's a reissue of an old camera from the 70s ish that was a really cheap plastic camera that took amazing, upredictable pictures on 120 film. The reissue is not so cheap but still plastic and amazing. I was thinking of buying a Holga (I missed my old one) but stumbled across the Diana which is by the same people who make the Holga. It has a few more features and can be a pinhole camera. Here it is in all it's glory:
Anyway I've loved it with the 120 film (yes can you believe people still use film) but I've seen these really cool pictures taken with a Holga and 35mm film where the picture actually goes beyond the sprocket holes. I decided to try and modify my camera to take 35mm and it's been really fun. Anyway here are some results:
Anyways I'm pleased with them so far. I think they're interesting. I got a fisheye lens for it and I'm excited to see how that goes. I'll post more pictures when I get them.

Update
So I'm moving to Fontana on Sunday. I guess you could say things just weren't working out in San Bernardino. The drive to work was much better but the drive to Flipside and my friends was killing me. So I am moving in with some other girls or I guess I'm old enough to start calling people women. I'm very nervous about it because one of the seems pretty anal but she's trying to pretend she's not. We'll see. The main reason I am moving is so I can live somewhere where it's actually my place and I am not just a guest there and so my dog can have a back yard. I've never lived with people I didn't know at all. We'll have to see if I spend all my time in my room. It's right next to the 15 though and my drive to work should be nothing. Yay for 5 minutes more of sleep.
