The double life

One of perks of the  Diana Mini is that you can take double exposures. I only took three on this roll but on the next one there shall be many more! I wasn't sure how they would come out exposure wise, but I don't think I need to worry too much about it. This is a camera to have fun with and not take too seriously. I love how the last pic is an overlap between two frames. You don't get crazy shit like that with a digital (unless you cheat in Photoshop)! Can't wait to see what the next roll brings...

Square eyes

Since getting into Instagram I've been craving shooting medium format. I've already got a Diana F +, but as there's only one place in London that will do prints, it's been collecting dust on the shelf. However, when I found out that the Diana Mini uses conventional 35mm, well hey, it was pretty obvious what I wanted for my last birthday (let's face it, unless there's a lottery win in the household a Hasselblad won't be coming my way any time soon). These are from the first test roll and I'm pretty happy with the result. They might not be very sharp but that's part of the charm I think. Double exposures from the same roll coming up in the next post!

Where she's been enjoying the heat wave

Summer's last hurrah

"It's just a warm spell" is what the meteorologists called it on the radio this morning. Apparently an Indian summer is only called so if it happens in mid-October/November. I don't care what you calls it, I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts. As the meteorologists went on to say; "Make the most of it, it'll be six months before we can expect weather like this again". Word.

A Sunday walk

We escaped to the countryside this weekend and it was goooooood. Although it's sad when friends move away, it's bloody brilliant to go and visit them :)

Monday morning blues

An afternoon with

Why hello there! I've finally managed to shake of my weird cold (felt really dizzy for over a week!). Thank you for your well-wishes innit. Yesterday I spent a lovely afternoon with Claire who's in town for a few days, and we went to check out the Serpentine Pavillion in Hyde Park. It was such a peaceful place to sit and catch up. Hope you folks have great weekend!

Tiny little tiles

Thank you so much for your comments on the previous post - you guys are so nice! I'm down with a cold (here we go again) and not really taking pictures, so here are a couple of old ones from the summer. Hope you have a good week!

I'm a Lomo sapien

Man, I loves that camera. It's got bits of duct tape holding it together in one corner and the inside seal is going bald, but it's been a brilliant companion for the past 14 years. Sure, there's usually only a handful of good pictures on each roll, but that's part of the charm; the randomness of it all. I must use it more... Hope you peeps have a lovely weekend!

A little bit of Lomo magic

Day off

Welcome to the house of fun

When the weather is pants (like today) museums are a good place to take cover. We took Oomoo to the Museum of Childhood a couple of weeks ago and he had a whale of a time. If only I could think of something fun for us to do today too!

The sun and Oomoo go down around the same time these days, so I took a picture of the sky every day last week once the boy had fallen asleep. My fave is sunset number five :)
