For Christmas last year Jon gave me a Diana camera, one of the toy cameras I’ve been jonesing after for quite some time. I didn’t have much time to play with it during the spring, school and life managed to keep me tethered to the ease of a digital camera.  I’ve just started trying to [...]

Tatanka Stew and Fry Bread in Tilt-Shift
I’ve been admiring tilt-shift photography for a long time.  Perhaps this is because I love smaller versions of very large things (when mini-Milano cookies came out it was a big, no pun intended, event in my life).  Anyway, it is pretty tough.  You’ve got to move lenses and shift [...]
