Everyone please meet Holga and Diana...

I've discovered this awesome little thing called lomography, which is pretty much a rediscovery of everything old in the world of photography. For Christmas, my dear husband purchased me the color flash Holga CFN, and once I get myself some 120 or 35 mm film, I'm going to be consumed. 


Funny story: While I was at Walgreens picking up the usual photo print order, I asked the photo guy if they develop 120 and 35 mm film. 
Photo guy: No, we also develop digital photos as well.
Me: *blank stare*... Yes, I know that. But I'm trying to find a place that will develop my 120 mm film. 
Photo guy: Yes! We develop film! But you know, the world is moving into the digital direction so I'm not sure how much longer we'll be developing rolls of film, but you may want to think about a digital camera.
Me: I was given an old... it's called analogue... I'm into... Dude, I have a DSLR.
Photo guy now with fake smile: That's nice.


My husband also gifted me a Diana F+ lens that attaches to my DSLR. So naturally, I put away my $300 lenses for the $30 plastic lens and brought it along with me to the dog park today. Nothing brilliant... but fact is, I got to use it. :D To find out more about lomography, go to World of Plastic Lenses.
