The Diana Mini Experiment

At the beginning of this year, my dear friend L.M., being of exceptional good taste and an extremely generous spirit, gifted me with a Diana Mini, a manual camera sold by Lomography that is retro and artsy and very cool. I'm not a photographer, but this thing is fun. I'm gradually figuring out how to use it. Here, I'll document the results of my efforts . . . (5.30.12)
