This Saturday, I went to NYC to attend a Lomography store workshop - Meet the Diana Mini.

Here are the pictures I took on our trip to Washington Square Park.

And a frickin' sweet scanner that does negatives (thanks, Brady!)

So here are some pictures that actually came out.

More to follow, hopefully.  I want to send all of my artsy friends all a lomography camera and see what kind of stuff they'd come up with.  Specifically, Tara and Holly.

I also got a Diana F+ camera from my mom, and bought a Diana F+ flash for it with 12 color filters with my Christmas money.  The flash has a hotshoe adapter, so I can fit it onto my black Holga and finish up my roll of Black & White film.  My mom (so awesome) also bought me an instant back for the Diana, so when I'm done with the current roll of film in it, I can try my hand on some instant photographs.

I'm slowly trying to learn the art of lomography.  It's pretty hard since I'm used to looking through a viewfinder, setting up a picture, and taking it.  Getting to see things instantly are what kill me.  With lomography, you don't look, just shoot, and do it.

The next cameras I'm looking at are the lomography fisheye 35 mm camera (about $29.95 on Amazon) and the mini Diana, which takes 35 mm film.  It's about $50 though.  Ambitions will have to wait.  I think I'm okay though, since I have about 3 cameras to play with now.
