My first blog giveaway!!!!

I feel the need to put four exclamation marks (a record for me) because I have won something, something good, for telling a joke!! It all started on the second of December. I was skimming cjane's blog when I stumbled across a post announcing...

The long Awaited Diana Photos!!!

Diana, the Greek Goddess of the Hunt, is the name of a lovely analogue camera that I bought this year. It is a delightful nostalgic blue with a hugo flash that is the only thing that requires batteries.

Mom and Dad still don't understand the reason I don't just go with digital, and I'll admit, it is a ton easier and simpler. But there is one reason that outweighs everything, in my mind at least. That thing is the flaws.

In a digital camera only

one thing is put to chance. That is if the picture will upload or

not. But with the Diana, everything

is entirely up in the air. This is the beauty. I'll let the pictures

speak for themselves.
