So I’ve just found messages in my inbox from months ago, tumblr you need to make it more obvious that someone actually goes to the effort to message me!

Yet to find an image I am totally happy with out of my huge selection besides me. Rubbish.
Central Park, New York City (some time between the months of January to March last year)
Finally got the rest of my negatives from my 3 months in NYC developed this week. Only about a year later!

Negatives I forgot about
This time last year.
This time last year I had just moved to NYC for 3 months. Time goes so freaking fast. I DO NOT LIKE.
Can I go back yet?

Day 14 x 2, Oh Diana.
A couple of years ago when I was in NYC for my first extended stay I bought myself a Diana camera. For some reason before this I was dead against the whole lomo thing, but now I wouldn’t be without my Diana.
However much I love the camera I have a love-hate relationship with the instant back, which you can read about this on my other blog here as well here and oh yes here. So you get the picture.
Anyway Diana, the frustrating instant back, the dog and I all went on a walk this morning and took these. I soon discovered there was something on my lens, but I love these little defaults so whatever!
I started a 366.
I haven’t updated my main blog in a while but I have been doing this since January 1st!
I guess I’m kind of breaking the picture a day for 366 days, as some days I’ve update it more than once. Its more an document of my life. I hoping the quality of post will improve when I finally get my digital camera back - even though I kind of hate it for it’s digitalness. SIGH

Hi friends, I’m looking for a very part time intern to start soon here at Eliz Weinberg Photographic Projects in Brooklyn, NY. See below and if this is you, please email me [at] elizabethweinberg.com with a bit about yourself, your website, and a resume/cv. This is going to be a short-term, couple…
If I was in NYC this year then I would totally apply. Just a year too late!!
Am I the only one who has a problem ejecting film?? It worked for the first 5 photos on my first cartridge. After that, I had to go into a dark room and pull out the jammed ones. Then, it would work every other one…and now, not at all.
Lomography swears that it isn’t a universal problem… but this…
I wish I had the answer to this! I thought I had solved it but no. I have tried different batch numbers of film and everything. AND STILL THE DAMN FILM GETS STUCK! I also want to love my Diana Instant back but instead I just want to throw it at a wall!

Answer:
Hey,
Sorry for the late reply… I didn’t see this until now. After many searches on google I think I found out the problem is the fuji paper and maybe the camera. I thought it was solely the camera but I’m not sure that it is entirely that. I read somewhere that it’s a problem with the thickness of the paper. I found the only was to solve this was put the camera in a dark bag (black out bag) and open the back of the camera. Take out the film, remove the sheet of film and put the film case back in. Close up the camera and continue to shoot. Its annoying. But the only solution I can find. I read somewhere that is something to do with the little metal bit that pushes out the film but like I said, I don’t think it is solely that. I don’t know what to suggest, other than removing the film. It’s soooo frustrating!!
I did a little test by putting all the film back in the film cassette, the ones that got stuck and the ones that didn’t, in a variety of orders. And its always the same ones that get stuck! So it must be the paper!
I hope this makes some sort of sense and is a little helpful!!!
Thanks!!
Epic fail with the Diana instant back, yet again.

Epic fail with the Diana F+ Instant back.
I think I might start a little series of my failures. These are a mix of wrong exposures and the film just refusing to come out of the camera (which, after some research I have discovered is a problem with the film, not the camera back).
