There's something about photos from the 60s and 70s that make me really nostalgic. They're just a little bit out of focus, strangely saturated, dreamy and gritty; They really look like they've got history. For people like me, who constantly reference "the good old days" (more like a couple weeks ago) and are endlessly disappointed by modern cameras' inability to capture those perfect (at least in our memories) moments, there is finally hope. The lomographic society has authentically resurrected the "Diana," the $1 plastic 1960s gem that rose to cult stardom after its discontinuation in the 70s. For a still cheap $40, we can at last get photos that mimic our memories: beautiful, a little bit strange, and completely, utterly nostalgic.
Check out lomography.com for more photos, history, and where to buy.
Love,
Tess
