I'm sure you only noticed her because she was carrying a camera... except, oddly, the camera doesn't seem to be in the frame.

Just kidding, it's a really nice shot.

Actually... I had her pose for this. It was my last frame and I wanted to burn it up on our way back to the car. This is my cousin Jessica -- never shy in front of a camera.

I probably tried to get the camera in the frame, but the major parallax error on the Diana at close range is hard to estimate. It looks like I over-compensated on this one. Some of my earlier shots on the camera had the opposite problem -- chopped heads.

Well, that'll teach me to at least read the tags before I try to make a joke! Anyway, it gave me a chance to revisit this, which is one of my very favorite of your photos.

LOL, yeah I usually say something about her being my cousin in the description, but I guess I was lazy with this one. I like that other one of her too -- she has a lot of different characters that come out when you point the camera at her.

For me, this is probably the best of your Diana shots - dreamy but sharp and suggestive. Leaving the camera out of the frame (unintentionally or not) with the words on the strap exposed adds more to the dream.

That's funny, because this is one of my very few "staged" photos on this camera -- one of the others being this shot of Bryan.

This photo still impresses me no end. I've yet to achieve something this good with my Diana....
