DianaF+

Kal's photos inspired me to break out my Diana F+, and figure out what I was doing wrong with it.
I wasted about 6 photos (out of 12!) but I finally was able to take my Diana out for a spin. I still have two more rolls to play around with, as well as some other film I can put in my fish eyed camera, or my 35mm. Just because I cannot use my digital I have about 3 other cameras I can use. I hate that I got sucked into the digital world and neglected my film cameras. The 40+degree day also added to my desire to wander around and take some photos. I went to Towpath Coffee (orig Fairport coffee) and had some delicious cinnamon hazelnut coffee, took a few photos in there and read a little.
I am giving myself one more week before I head south, I have some loose ends to tie up, and I need to make sure that this is 100% what I want to do. I need to be fully able to commit myself to Mellow, and to Chas for another year otherwise I am wasting my time, as well as their time. Another highlight of this Sunday, Bo is whipping up some chicken wing dip in honor of the game! Yum! Go Cards....gotta root for the underdogs!

I remember you saying that you got this camera, before you left Charleston I think. Anyway, I think I want to get one, but have never really used a film camera (i'm so cool, I know) so I'm a little intimidated. Also, taking pictures of dirty snow isn't exactly my idea of a good time. So, maybe in the spring, after you give me a little lesson.
