I’m always slightly behind in trends.

This is not a statement strictly related to photography but since this is a photo blog, I should probably stick with the theme.

An example: I was always happier with film and didn’t purchase my first digital SLR until three years ago.

Similarly, I’ve never fully gotten behind the Instagram craze. For one thing, I don’t own an iPhone. It’s true, I downloaded Vignette for my Android but even then, I don’t use it often and I almost never post the results.

However, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for old school film/cameras and LOVE the re emergence that has been propelled by Lomography.

For Christmas my mom upgraded me from a Diana Mini to a Diana F+.

In honor of that camera and as something to do on my holiday, I decided to edit several of the photos from the LA trip. All these photos came out of my digital Nikon 300s.

I will say that I still don’t particularly care for Instagram but it was a lot of fun to play with these photos.
