Isn't she lovely? I'm pretty much obsessed with this little plastic camera and the fuzzy-fun photos she makes. After seeing so many inspiring snapshots taken with the Diana's and Holga's and such on different blogs, I decided I needed to take my (new) love for photography to the next lomo-level. (Some of my favorites can be found here, on The Rockstar Diaries blog.)
It took me forever to finish my first roll of film because I was sooo nervous that every single picture would come out black or blurry beyond recognition. The seasons even changed from snow to spring as I was cautiously snapping pictures. These seven pictures were the best of the roll and I am so proud of every single imperfection, and I'm really not sure why. :-)
The last picture is my cat April, doing what she does best.
Sweet Diana is fully loaded with some black and white film and ready to capture my life. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
These are really beautiful!! One of my aims currently is to learn to take a great picture... then I'll be allowed a fancy camera =) x
ReplyDeleteso much fun! I still haven't developed my last rolls from my fisheye or my holga. i really need to see what I got!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I definitely need to invest on one of those sometime soon (:
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty! Love the pics. Makes me want to dust off my Holga that I haven't touched in forever!
ReplyDeleteOooh - love your shots!! :)
ReplyDeleteNice! I want one of those cameras too, maybe for my anniversary....
ReplyDeleteyour pictures turned out so good. that camera is hard to work.. your already a pro
ReplyDeleteLovely. What kind of film did you use? Just curious, these turned out about as perfectly flawed as any lomo print can be! Makes me want to drag my Holga out of retirement.

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteAdorably - I use 120 color negative film 100 speed.
Jenni - You definitely should get one! It's so much fun. My black and white film should be back soon!
happy to have found youand happier to be following! I LOVE these pictures! For a long time now it´s been my dream to own a Holga and a Lomo. I have this thing with taking pictures, but I always imagine my pictures as if taken 40 years ago...that´s why I love these cameras so. For now, I´ll have to photoshop my way to vintage images... LOVELY BLOG!!!! Big latin hug, Clau
