Seeing the world through my viewfinder.

Brought my new Diana Mini to Christmas in Cleveland; thankful that it has a long exposure setting for these indoor photos. More images from the initial Diana Mini test roll are posted on my Flickr.
Next roll, I’m going to use the half-frame setting instead of the square setting, and I’ll try to take more shots in brighter light. Not sure what I think of the trademark “dreamy focus,” but I do think I like my new little camera.

Season’s Greetings from Diana, Aaron, and Mei!

Close-up of my Brownie Starmatic. One exposure left on the initial roll…

Not the most flattering photo of myself, but the reflection of the camera in my eye is cool.

Playing around with lighting and posing ideas for this year’s Christmas Portrait, and reminding myself of the details of using my lighting kit. Yes, I know the strobe umbrella is visible in the reflection; I think it adds to the charm.
