Photos from the Diana Mini

The Lomography Diana Mini camera was given to me as a Christmas gift a few winters ago, and honestly I have to admit - its a very complex camera despite the "cute" appearance of it.

I decided to take the challenge and create my own HANDMADE book for my Personal Project (if you dont know what that is, it's basically a year long project that's done in Grade 10). I took on an artistic approach and attempted to portray Hong Kong through a series of photos that were taken from my camera. Here are some of the photos included in the book:

Stone dragon at the Tin Hau Temple

Mid-Levels escalators

Traditional "Har-Gow" (shrimp dumplings)

Central

Park N' Shop

These are some of the more successful and interesting photos out of the 3 rolls of film that I used. It definitely takes practice and patience when working with this camera. If you have any questions regarding the camera or anything else, and would like some tips from a user (note that I'm not a professional or anything haha), be sure to ask and I'll be glad to help!

First Post on the Interwebs!!

Hello everyone - I'm Frances, a 16 year old girl from Hong Kong. I felt that it would be a timely decision to start "a blissful haze" over the summer - considering that I have always wanted to start a blog, but never really had the time to actually sit down and spend time planning and writing. As I am relatively new to this (not to mention a tech noob), it'll probably take a while to get started. I promise that I'll do my best to update this blog, despite the arduous journey that is still yet to come (aka. last 2 years of high school).

"a blissful haze" is a blog dedicated to being the outlet of my random emotions. It will primarily be revolved around photography, fashion, food... but there are no promises. Hopefully, I'll be able to show everyone the bits and pieces of my life and also the endless interests that I have.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you join me in this journey!

xx - frances.
