| Diana Mini Half Frame Images On Some Random Cheap 35mm Film |
How cute is the Diana Mini?! This camera takes little perfectly square images or half frame images on 35mm film, giving you more bang for your 35mm film buck! Not to mention the Diana Mini is teenie tiny! The perfect camera for toting around with you just in case something fun pops pops up that has to be photographed.
In December I developed film that I had shot throughout the year but had been lazy about developing. It was a wonderful year in review! Take a peek at a post I made with some of my favorites strips of film from 2011. Putting that post together made me think it'd be a great idea to take a photo a day every for an entire year. Now, I know myself and I know that I'm not cut out for 356 projects but I thought I could try to shoot a picture a day for all of April and see how that goes. Maybe take this project on a month by month basis.
What do you think? Have you ever done a 365 project? Seems like such a daunting task! Here are a few really well done ones that I like:

I'm really excited about a Lomo meet up I'm going to this Sunday! We're going to walk around the Lincoln Park Zoo with our cameras in hand. If you're here in Chicago, you should come out! Find out more details here. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

I did my 365 project in 2011, and loved it so much I couldn't stop when 2012 rolled around. My problem now is wondering when/if I will ever stop. Or if I'll just keep going until I die haha.
ReplyDeleteI really admire that! I get so discouraged if I miss a few days that the few times I've tried I just end up giving up.
DeleteI think the most I could do is a month if I ever did try. Maybe I should try that actually. It sounds like a fun project. I can't wait to see your April shots! Will you do a Polaroid project or 35mm?
ReplyDeleteHello Anne! I think what will work best for starters is one month at a time and starting with 35mm film. I'd love to do an instant project eventually! You should do a month by month project too! Let me know if you decide to!
DeleteI have that camara :D I love it, my only problem is I don´t have
ReplyDeletea film scanner :S
Oh bummer! I love mine as well, do you have a lab that could process and scan for you?
DeleteI've been wanting a mini for a while now. Eeep!
ReplyDeleteGet one! Mine was a gift from my awesome momma and it took me a while to really use it but now I love it! Great for fun snap shots of everyday things!
DeleteI did a 365project between 2010 and 2011 and I'm not thinking of doing it again any time soon!
ReplyDeleteI have a Diana F+ which I don't use very often but every time I do so I'm taken aback by the light leaks it produces!
Yes it's so fun. I need to bust out my Diana! Could you send me a link to your 365 project? I'd love to see it! I love those.
