If you want me to, I will.

I am reading this book again. Scanning its pictures and soaking up its inspiring content. It puts into words the feelings and experiences I have had with my Diana. I realize that it is not just me, but there is a whole community of people who have discovered what I have.

What is that, might you ask?

With Diana I am selective. Not about the composition or content of the photo.
I only take pictures when something inside tells me to. I have few options for lighting and focus, and then I click. Sometimes I forget to- that is the beauty of it- Diana will still bring me a romantic photo that came from that mistake.

"To hold, point, and shoot a Diana camera implies a conscious decision to relinquish control" (Lomography). This gives opportunity to focus on your creative powers, and forget about all the bells and whistles of our digital age. "Accidents are the key to success. One has to learn to let go and fail. We live too much in a fail-safe world" (Mark Sink).

I like the kind of photographer I am with her.

Sadly, she is away from me for the weekend.
So I will read this book while she is away.
Ed took her to Mexico.
I am so excited for him to experience the openness and fullness that a little plastic camera brings.
