It's a girl!

A few weekends ago, Mark and I went on a mini vacation to Minneapolis. Two whirlwind days of driving and shopping later, I returned home with some absolute gems: a trunk full of ikea treats, a bunch of records, some good h&m finds, and this...

Welcome to the family little Diana Dreamer.

I took my first shot with it today. I'm excited to see if the roll will turn out.

I do have to admit though, that firing a shot with the Diana doesn't compare to the satisfying 'click' of my Nikon FE.

p.s. I have been casually picking up a bit of Croatian from one of the security guards at work. We can now carry on a basic conversation.

Ja sam umorna. Laku noc.

You should bring your sweet new Diana to the Photo 3 show this Friday. The show will be filled with lomo-rific work that I think you would enjoy. You must attend. MUST. ATTEND. Ha...no pressure or anything.

I think a lomo photo shoot is in order very soon. Me, you, Gab, Sara B...anyone else who has a sexy low-tech camera. Eh? Yes? Oui? "Yes in Croatian"? :D

AO!
