more diana mini photos

i've been playing tourist in my own city, keeping an eye out for interesting objects, and trying to see big things in new ways, like the golden gate bridge.



i find myself grabbing my camera at a moment's notice, when something catches my eye i take a picture as fast as i can especially if the bus is stopped and about to move.





somehow objects and moments layer on top of one another, another story told or imagined.

diana mini

a few weeks ago, i splurged on a diana mini camera. it's an analog camera made out of plastic and is so teeny and cute, i put it in my purse everyday taking a few shots here and there. i'm not a trained photographer, i just think of using a camera as another way to see the world and most importantly i use my little toy camera to play around. experiment with double exposures, which is when you take one photo, don't advance the film, but instead take another photo. two separate images layer themselves. when taking photos with the diana mini and the holga, the unexpected often occurs.



these two images were taken on treasure island, which is a man made island near san francisco. the navy occupied it for a time, but now around 600 people live on the island including one of my good friends. it's a really serene, quiet place. the views of san francisco's skyline is stunning and you can see the bay bridge.

the images are dreamy, washed out, almost like a painting. but really just a wonderful accident.

good mail day tumblr

make everyday a good mail day.

i admit i am a lazy blogger. i'm bad at updating this blog a lot of the times, sometimes i don't know what to write and i like that images can just speak for themselves.

enter tumblr a site that lets you post images that inspire.

i've been maintaining the Good Mail Day tumblr alongside superdilettante. it's a tumblr full of postal finds near and far, post offices and mail art and envelopes with a collage of postage stamps.
