Default The joy of something 'new'
I just finished my first roll on my new Diana F+ camera. I got the "Mr. Pink" model cheap from someone who thought it was 'cute' when they bought it not knowing it was film and you had to know how to think of f/stop ss etc... it was a steal!

Anyway.. I'm dropping off my first roll tonight. Will post results..soon.. if I didn't F it up completely which is entirely possible!

*shakes with the excitement of a 12-year-old about to watch new Harry Potter movie*

Amazing what trying something "new" does for your inspiration. May I suggest doing something completely new photographically?

I completely understand what you mean about new things awakening your inspiration.

What I find funny, is the thought of you out there with a pink camera to your face.

You aren't the only one. Just walking with it gets me lots of looks. Good thing I'm a rather large fella.

Hey Fuzzy, how 'bout a SP with that hot new camera?


Once I get over the nausea I'm going to pick up my great granddad's old Minolta xg-9. Which is all new to me.
Last time I used a film camera was when I was real young, 9 maybe...
