My second color roll is developed!

Since I've been in the process of moving my craft space from one home to another, I haven't been crafting much the last few weeks. Instead, I've been focusing my creative energies on photography. Here are the results of my second color roll:



I have two black-and-white rolls that are being developed at another lab, so I won't see the results for another couple of weeks. Coming from over a decade of digital experience, where I'm used to instant results, I'm learning that film photography is a test of patience.

I made myself a camera!

I recently got a new camera: The Lomography Konstruktor. It is a build-it-yourself 35mm film camera that took me a couple hours to build. It came to me looking like this:



And I transformed it into this:




Within two days, I blew through three 36-exposure rolls of film. Unfortunately, my local Costco isn't able to develop the two special black-and-white rolls I used, so I'll have to look elsewhere to get those developed. In the mean time, I do have some colored photos to share:





From the colored roll, only about 8 photos came out usable, and these three are the only ones decent enough to share. Considering I have very limited experience in film photography, and I built this camera on my own, I'm pleased with the results. I need to practice more and more, and with luck, I'll have better results next time.

First Diana F+ photos

I bought a Diana F+ a few months ago, which is my first foray into film photography. This analog thing is new to me, so my first roll of film was completely overexposed, and I had but usable photo from my second roll (which I haven't scanned yet).

My third roll of film, however, had a few usable if blurry results. Here are the pictures I took during my friend's birthday dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. Ironically enough, I have no photos of said friend, because they came out overexposed. Instead, enjoy these pictures of some of my other friends around the table:








From the same roll of film are these two photos from a lunch trip I took with some other friends:






I can't wait to see how my next roll of film turns out!
