Portrait of Jet

The other day, Jet and I went for a ride and she was nice enough to pose for me. This was shot with a Mini Diana using 100 speed print film. (c) Matt Larson, 2009

New Work, New Toy Camera (Mini Diana)

While in Charleston this past weekend, I somehow ended up at Urban Outfitters (go figure) and stumbled upon the Mini Diana. So I bought it and three rolls of film. We had really cloudy weather, light rain all weekend so I had to buy ASA 800 color print film. What a fun little guy!

I think I'm back to film finally! This little jewel is now my favorite camera and I won't be anywhere with one! If you don't have one. Buy it.

Below are some selected pics I couldn't wait to share. I hope you like them as much as I do ... let me know what you think. These are toned scans off the one-hour processing disc--a few of them, soon to be prints for sale. Stay tuned on that!

Good Day in the Darkroom!

Today, I worked in the darkroom!

Don't let this happen to you! Today was the day I faced my past--
my past rolls of unprocessed film.

And I must say, it was a good day and I got it all done.
I'm all caught up and will soon be ...

... making prints from my NEW negatives.
And, lesson learned on letting the unprocessed film get out of control.
