Diana vs.The Universe

The Diana is a wonderful toy camera that shoots film and features a plastic lens with shoddy optics. The plastic lens and limited settings takes images that the user composes behind it and transforms them into something entirely new. The imagery created is impossible to predict. That is why I made this blog. I wanted to post images taken with my Diana+ camera to show what this camera does to your subjects, no matter how hard you try to make a quality shot. With each post, I will pit various subject matter against the Diana and see what happens next.
Diana+ vs Jonny & Sarah’s Wedding Part II The cake is probably the most important part of the wedding. Scratch that. The cake is the most important part of the wedding. Yes, I understand that is just food and will be destroyed by all of those who attend. However, I see the presentation of the cake as an opportunity to show who you are as a married couple. Jonny & Sarah’s cake was decorated with various symbols from the Super Mario Brothers video games and topped with handmade figures of Mario and Princess Peach. They took a creative approach to the design of their cake by illustrating it with a playful, humorous, and dorky theme. I thought that added a great personal touch that spoke volumes about their relationship. Not too mention, it was a chocolate cake with coconut frosting. The bar has officially been set.

Diana+ vs Jonny & Sarah’s Wedding Part 1 Every once and a while, I get the feeling that my friends and I are growing up. Lately, it has been more about my friends than me. Jonny is one of my best friends. We have been close since seventh grade, and still going strong. I cannot believe that the guy in the tux is the same kid that used to stay for after-school band rehearsal with me and talk about punk rock. We still talk about punk rock. That has not changed. It even played a part in our unofficial mantra of last summer leading up to the wedding. It started with the song “Get Warmer” by Bomb The Music Industry. The last part of the song repeats the line: “To The Van, To Highway, To The Van, and Back Home” Lyrics by Jeff Rosenstock, Quote/Unquote Records. Jonny and I adapted the lyrics to make a running gag about how many things we did on the day/night of his bachelor party. “To The Car, To Vic’s Waffle House, To The Car, To The Liquor Store, To The Highway, And Back Home. To The Pool, To The Cooler, To The Pool, and Back Home…To The Limo, To Dick’s Last Resort, To The Bar, To The Bar, To The Bar, To The Bar, To The Limo, To The Highway, And Back Home”. When Jonny’s wedding day came, the joke kept going. “To The Limo, To The Church, To The Limo, To The Reception, To The Car, To Sarah’s Parents House, To The Car, To The Highway, And Back Home.” Silly yes, but that didn’t stop me from writing it in the guest book. I hope we still think it’s funny twenty years from now.

Diana+ vs Goose Rocks Beach I am still working on my Diana panorama project. The problem with this projects progress is that I have about 20 other projects going at the same time. My skewed sense of workflow makes it very easy for one or two projects to accidentally get thrown on the back burner. Regardless, the wake of this winter’s first snowstorm seemed like the perfect time to post this panorama.

Diana+ vs Cindy’s Drive-In I have not eaten at Cindy’s Drive-In. Since I have no opinion, I will not be reviewing the food there and pretending that I am the Phantom Gourmet. I would love to eat at Cindy’s but am never able to do so due to scheduling conflicts. The last time I wanted to stop at Cindy’s for an ice cream, I did not have time because I would have missed the early evening showing of Captain America at the Tower Theaters in South Hadley. When the movie ended, I totally spaced and decided to go to Herrell’s ice cream in Northamption for a real Smoosh-In ice cream. I no longer tolerate Cold Stone’s imitation of Herell’s signature product. Why Cindy’s and all of this talk about ice cream? It is the start of a long New England winter, and I need something to give me hope. I adore summer and it’s seasonal attractions. One of my favorites is the roadside ice cream stand. It is an important staple of New England culture. Personally, I think the roadside ice cream stand is just as American as McDonald’s Apple Pie or falling asleep while watching baseball. Since we are on the brink of a few months of cold weather and snow, I wanted to reflect on warmer memories and also remind myself to actually pull over next time I drive by Cindy’s. If I do, I will make sure to write a follow-up entry. Coming Soon, Diana+ vs Cindy’s Diner Part 2: More Ramblings about Ice Cream and America.

Diana+ vs The MFA I took this shot while the Chihuly Exhibit was on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston last summer. It was an amazing sight to see, once I found it. There were several Chihuly pieces on display around the museum, aside from the exhibit itself. You can see one of the pieces in the image. It is the pointy structure off to the left of the frame. The black and white film does not really do the piece justice because the glass is a wonderful shade of lime green. It looked like a beautiful tower composed on the largest, most pointy Green Apple Jolly Ranchers known to man. With all of the other pieces up around the MFA, I thought their display signs would lead me to exhibit itself. I was very wrong. After doing a few circles like a plane circling Logan, I finally found the correct set of stairs. Next time I go to the MFA, I think I will spring for a map of the place.

Diana+ vs Dana Center, MA Last October, a fellow photographer and Toy Camera Jedi, Meg Birnbaum, gave me a Diana+. It was very generous of her to give me the camera, accessories, and numerous rolls of film. She told me that one of the best gifts you can give someone is a camera. I could not agree more.  Some of the first photographs that I took with the Diana+ were of Dana Center, MA. Most of the first images did not come out too well, because I did not really understand how to shoot with the Diana+. I went back to Dana Center this past summer to take more photos, and try to get some of the shots that I might have missed. Dana Center is no longer a town of Massachusetts. It was leveled during the construction of the Quabbin Reservoir, A.K.A. Boston’s water supply. Unlike most of the other towns that existed where the Quabbin is today, most of Dana is not underwater. If you pull over off of Route 32A at the correct gate, you can follow an old road down to where the town used to be. It is a beautiful place. There are no buildings, just foundations, cellar holes, and empty fields. The town square is still there, along with several other roads that lead off into the woods or into the reservoir. I feel places like this should be recognized because of our country’s age. The United States is still a relatively new country. We do not have fields of ruins or castles like in Europe of Asia, aside from the remains of Native American settlements. Places like Dana Center are the beginning of America’s first ruins, which is an interesting concept to me. I hope to return there, and to other towns along the Quabbin Reservoir to photograph them so they can be remembered.

Diana+ vs Kennebunkport Progress continues with my project to make panorama images using the Diana. To start, I measured the width of each negative from my previous tests. The Diana does not create a perfectly square or rectangular negative so you have picture a dimension and stick with it. I used my measurements create a layout for future tests. I started with the paper backing from a 120 roll of film. I measured and made a set of three marks on the paper, one for each part of a panorama. I repeated the process, allowing space between each set of marks. One roll of 120 film allows for four panoramas. To use my newly marked backing paper, I need to remove the film from another 120 roll (in the dark), and re-spool it with my marked backing paper. It can be a pain, but the results are totally worth it. I took several new test panoramas while I was on a short holiday in Kennebunkport, ME. This shot was taken at the end of a nice walk on the grounds of a Franciscan Monastery. I was technically in Kennebunk when I took this photograph, however the image depicts part of the town of Kennebunkport across the water. I think it would have been too much to call this image “Diana+ vs Kennebunk/Kennebunkport”. I should have just called it “Diana+ vs Some Old Dock Somewhere” and made this post much shorter.

Diana+ vs The Loneliest Land Rover I am obsessed with showing up early. The occasion does not really matter. It could be anything from a BBQ at a friend’s place to catching a train out of North Station. I am always as early as possible. To me, the train makes sense because I could get stuck in the city. In reality, the commuter rail never leaves on time so I end up waiting 30 to 45 minutes for the train to depart. Yes, I know it is silly. I do not know why I think the MBTA functions with the precision timing of the French Train System. Despite my delusion, I used my extra time to capture the scene outside of my window.

Diana+ vs The Nashua Skyline Nashua does not actually have much of a skyline. There are no skyscrapers to speak of, just old mill buildings. To see what skyline there is, I found it is best to walk up to the roof of the public parking garage near Main Street. My friends and I have set up shop there to photograph the city a few times now. The last time I was on the roof, I made my first attempt to make a panorama with the Diana+. I started by taking a long exposure of the rooftop. After the shutter closed, I did not fully advance the film to the next marked frame. Normally, you would advance the film until you see a number through a window in the back of the camera. I repeated the process twice to end up with three overlapping shots. The exposure time for each shot was roughly 2 minutes to 3 minutes. I did not mind the long exposure time because it gave me plenty of time to dance around to songs by Bomb The Music Industry while the shutter was open. To my surprise, the image actually came out. The only problem was I turned the camera in the opposite direction of how the film advances. Instead of single scene, I ended up with a patchwork of mismatched frames that merged within the camera. Regardless of my mistake, I still love what came out.

Diana+ vs Myself When I started to explore photography, my first attempts at making artwork were self portraits. I used my first digital camera to take the shots, which were a whopping 2.3 megapixels. I did not have a formal education in photography, so it was mostly experimental imagery. Despite lacking technical skills, I really enjoyed making self portraits because I used it as a vent to express myself creatively. Looking back, it has been a while since I last set out to make a self portrait. I recently decided to make some new self portraits with some of my newer cameras and keep the experimental feel. The Diana was a perfect fit for the project. The above image is the result of numerous tests with off-camera flash in combination with high-speed film in the Diana. Not to sound like a narcissist, but I am pleased with the results.

Diana Vs Lowell, Massachusetts One night, Justin and I decided to bail on our first location to shoot because we realized that night photography was not welcome in the area. Apparently someone (*cough* Justin *cough*) who was supposed to check out the spot missed seeing several No Trespassing signs. Our next stop of the evening was a public bike path in Lowell. We liked the path because it was quiet, empty, and had plenty of space to spread out and shoot. After walking around a bit to scope out the path, I set up the Diana to do some experiments with light painting. My definition of light painting is: The use of an artificial light source to illuminate a scene or subject matter in a photograph. At night, one can use this technique to light up a subject that might otherwise get lost in the dark. In this shot, I was focused on making the monument really pop. Using my handy-dandy Maglite, I lit up the monument for a few seconds with the shutter open. However I forgot to close the shutter, so everything that we lit up for the next 24 minutes got a healthy dose of light painting too.

Diana Vs The Giant Rooster It has been a long day. To give you an idea of how long day it has been, my first thought after writing the title was: “Wow, that sounds like a sweet Godzilla style monster movie”. I pictured a giant robot with a Diana camera for a head battling a giant Rooster in a generic coastal city. They were both smashing buildings and moving slightly slower than normal to emphasize their size. I do not know who won because I came out of it and continued writing this post. Now I am glad no one was here to see me type for a second, blank out for about 30 seconds, then continue typing. I worry because they might have thought I had an epiphany. I would then explain the mini Michael Bay film that ran in my mind. I wouldn’t blame them for not being friends with me anymore after hearing that.

Diana vs The Open Road I What appears to be hyperspace is actually Route 9 in Belchnertown, Massachusetts. The gray blur at the bottom of the frame is the dashboard of my girlfriend’s car. I anchored the Diana+ on the dash, and held the shutter open for about 30 seconds while the car was moving. I took a few shots because this technique can be hit or miss. It’s really easy to leave the shutter open for too long, which results in what looks like twisted neon spaghetti emerging from a quasar. It sounds really cool, but it was not my goal for this image. Perhaps when I finally snap, I will create a body of work that looks like twisted neon spaghetti emerging from a quasar. I will promote the work, and enter it for a solo exhibition in a prestigious art gallery. At the opening for the exhibition, I will as everyone in the crowd what they think of the work, noting every detail. After I have spoken with everyone, I will give an artist talk to explain my artwork. I will then read the following:  “Thank you all for coming to my exhibition. I hope the crab cakes were delicious. Anyway, I wanted to talk about my artwork for a moment. Many years ago I had a thought. I thought, ‘When I finally go mad, I will only make artwork that looks like twisted neon spaghetti emerging from a quasar.’ That is what my work depicts tonight. If you thought I was making a statement, you are right only if that statement is, “This is what twist neon spaghetti emerging from a quasar looks like”. Thank you all again for coming. Please, drive safe”.

Diana vs Boston Garden My family gets tickets to at least once Bruins game a year. No, this was not taken at a recent Bruins Playoff game. I am sure fans could tell because Tuukka Rask was in goal that night (see Jumbotron). I get really stoked on going to the Garden. Regardless of the turnout, I know that several things will happen that totally make the game. First of all,  my Dad and I will “mistakenly” get separated from my Mom and my sister to go in search of food instead of finding our seats. My meal of the game is always a heaping tray of nachos with tons jalapenos and cheese. Once food is acquired, I know the next couple of hours will be filled with cheers and endless opportunities to yell as loud as I can. Yes, a little bit of mischief, nachos, and screaming make my day at Boston Garden. I think it’s really important to appreciate the little things in life, especially at a Bruins game. I hope the Bruins take the Stanley Cup this year. Go Bruins!

Diana vs Breakfast I recently had breakfast at a new bakery/cafe in Gilbertville, Massachusetts. The name of the place is Rose 32 Bread. It was one of the best breakfasts that I had ever eaten, hands down. It started with a pain au chocolate, which is a chocolate filled croissant. Next, I had a cheddar and green onion biscuit with scrambled eggs and cheese in the middle. My beverage of choice for this meal was a cafe mocha. It was delicious. Given this description, I hope you can now see why I do not understand why some people choose not to eat breakfast.
