Dilemma: Diana + 35mm Back

I misplaced my Diana + 35mm Back. Can anyone please lend me their manual? I went to the Lomography website hoping that they made a tutorial video about the types of frames to use but there weren't any available. Yikes! So far the useful website that I found was Kai Yamada's. Any suggestions?

PROJECT AILEMA: Lomography and Make Up

I am definitely spending more than I can afford at the moment. In the past 6 months of being unemployed(by choice), I spent 90% of my savings on my European Trips, shopping, night outs with friends and now, my hobbies. Sounds irresponsible? Maybe. But whatever makes me happy. If I die today, at least I know that I died happy. Definitely living in my own bubble. LOL! I only have enough money left for my Language Class and my Thailand Trip. AFRAID of my credit card bill.

Went to London and Purchase these:

Diana+ 35mm Back

Films that I can cross process for saturated effect.

Inglot Travel Pack Brushes. Damn Mac brushes are expensive! I can't afford the individual brushes that they sell! I am committed to learn how to put make up on so I am building my own make up kit.

Inglot Eye M3 Eyeshadow.

PS:

Met up with Cooking Master Kent. He made Japanese Curry this time and he still can't get over the fact that I can't cook. He believes that as a Filo, I carry the maid genes and I should be able to cook and do household stuffs. I got beaten up with the Wii again. My arms hurts like hell now!

Diana F+ Frustrations Part 2

Rmember my post regarding my frustrations about my Diana F+? I got more. The more I want something, I harder I have to work on it. :( I went to snappy shots to collect my photos, they said 3 days processing and they are gonna give me a ring as soon as my photos arrive. My conversation with the assistant went like this:

Me: Hi! Is(show the stub/receipt) this ready for collection?
Assistant: Let me check. We are gonna give you a ring when they are ready. Right now, Royal Mail is on strike.
Me: Roughly, when do you think the mail are arriving cause I am leaving the country for good next week?
Assistant: I have no idea. It is beyond our control.

How can I know that I am taking the right photos if I can't even see the result? It is so frustrating. To cheer myself up, I went to Carnaby Street to buy my Diana F+ back but it was out of stock! I should have called beforehand but their website isn't helpful. Their contact number isn't posted online. Guess I have to go again this week. :(

The Popsicle Trick

Interesting. But has anyone tried this? Afraid for my baby.

Diana F+ Frustrations

I woke up very tired today but excited. Today is the day to test my Diana F+. :) I left home, took the instruction manual book with me and went straight to the photo shops to buy coloured 120 rolls but guess what, I had difficulty! Difficulty in the first world(I am afraid to what's gonna happen on the 3rd world now)! I only find one shop selling the film and they are f-ing expensive. A 16 shot roll costs £6! Processing the film is another issue, it costs 13 quid with 3 days waiting time. So much for my test shots. I won't be able to see any of them before Paris. Working out the cost, buying a Diana Back + is cheaper and less frustrating. Diana Back + costs around 60-70 quid.

Me still loves Diana F+.


Diana F+

I am totally geeking out at the moment.

I went to Carnaby Street to purchase a Diana Mini but got a Diana F+ instead. My lomo of choice is out of stock. Before the purchase, I went to Topshop to clear my head but it didn't work so I went back to the shop again. :P I was tempted to get the
instant diana back + as well. Good thing I resisted. I know Father Christmas is sending me one soon. LOL! I got one Coloured and B&W film to play with but unfortunately and this always happen, I turn the advanced wheel the wrong way. How stupid can I get right? I am so sleepy now but can't sleep out of excitement.

lomomanila.ph is underconstruction. Does anyone know any helpful sites?

Diana Mini

I have been lusting over this lomo since I saw the feature on tonguechic. With 2 more weeks left in the UK, I have to have this lomo as a present to myself. I should have bought one when I stumbled on stores in Amsterdam and Madrid but I didn't. Tsk tsk. Carnaby Street here I come!

Diana Mini

PS

Had a fantastic day yesterday! Met up with two of my girl friends for coffee and cocktails on 2 separate occassions. Oh, I am gonna miss my girls. Less than 2 weeks now. :(
