As some of you know I have been experimenting with a Diana Mini 35 mm camera. I’ve had a lot of fun with it but sometimes I struggle.

Sometimes I screw up. A roll of film takes about 24 photographs in the standard mode. The last roll of film I put in seemed to be taking lots and lots of pics. Apparently the film wasn’t in the sprockets quite right so it kind of “slid” along. The negative strip looks like a continuous exposure.

(I love pumpkins and all things Orange in the Fall, no I’m not an OSU fan.)

When I picked up the photo cd from Walgreens and looked at the index print it seemed like I had about 60 photos on the the roll. They were all jammed up together and partially double exposed. Most of the result didn’t look too good (although the Lomography folks love mistakes. The encourage the practice of double exposure where you take pictures with a roll of film and then give it to somebody else to take another set of pictures with the same roll and then see what you got.)

As I looked at them though I thought there were a few that were not half bad. Like the top pair of photos of SuperPizzaBoy on a fishing trip. The next pair are of a pumpkin town near our house. I liked the one above. I cropped it because the edges didn’t fit the sun on the river.

The above is a mash up of SuperPizzaBoy swinging. I intended to do multi-exposure but on three different pictures so I have about six images superimposed on the one frame. Full confession, the frame was so overexposed I used Picnick.com to increase the contrast. I think the Lomo police are going to come take my camera, do any of you care?

I’m going to continue experimenting. I love the old timey feel of the photos. I know it doesn’t make any sense.

Do you ever do anything that doesn’t make any sense?
