Oh, and happy, happy Friday.
Did you know the Lomography website calls the Diana camera the ‘ancient goddess of the moon’? I can see that! I hope you all get your cameras out this weekend and make some magic! Camera are magic, don’t you think?
In fact, I have an idea…how about I turn the tables on you guys, and let you share a little bit of your Sunday in the City. Send me a jpeg file (no more than 600 pixels wide) of photos around your town, and I’ll post a selection of your photos on the blog next week? Sound fun? Get snapping!
i found your blog and love your idea :)
Oooh I am so interested in “Lomography” and have really been contemplating getting a Diana camera!
In the meantime I’ll have to settle with my plain, old, digital, cheap, Pentax. Off to take some pictures!
is that camera good? i mean, as in taking good shots and such? i have my eye on it for a while but don’t know if it is worth the money to invest in it.
susan – it’s good if you like imperfections. the diana gives you a kind of dreamy image. if you take a look at the link of the lomo site, you’ll see some examples of the images that come out of a diana camera.
I got a Diana for Christmas, and have yet to develop any film from it. But I’ve seen other people’s photos, and I’m in love.
However, I actually prefer using my Holga 35mm, since the film is cheaper to buy and develop, and yield just as interesting, quirky, artistic photos as a Diana. I have those photos posted on my flickr. If you’re interested, my username is toshisushi.
oh, what a great idea!! it will be just the excuse i need to try out my new polaroid. count me in.
Such a lovely idea!
Have a wonderful weekend!

I made the headline of my blog and profile, Reserved, with a Lomo LC-A. And I love the result.
Love this idea….
Not sure how I found my way to your blog, through convoluted paths…. I could easily spend the whole evening looking at your photos and links and dreaming/designing/thinking. Nice to find a blogger from the Bay Area…
Maybe I’ll return on Sunday with a photo to share.
Eeep! This sounds fantastic. =)
I LOVE my diana+ camera very, very much!!
The lomography people opened a flagship store in NYC a couple of weeks ago!
Where should we send our Sunday in the City photos? email them to you or post them here?
I am really enjoying your blog!
funny i just put my diana+ in my purse and vowed to use it more often! have had better luck with our holgas but want to like the diana just as much.
some great pics are coming in! you can email them to me at:

thanks!
Love the idea, I’ll send a pic in. I use a canon digital camera, but I got an old lomo lens modified to fit it. Works really well.
I just got one, I have to learn to use it know!
i was goin to get my diana this weekend but instead i got my fisheye camera ! its still amazing……diana is next on the list though.!
sounds like a great idea, I always love your sunday in the city pics.
it’ll be great to see other people’s cities and favorite places.
I’ll be exploring San Fran myself in a couple of months, can’t wait to get the camera out!
in greek mythology, diana is the goddess of the moon and the hunt.
the ferris wheel kinda looks like cupcake cars. photos are lovely!
