Battling monsoon season here in the 312.

Chris Sweda of the Chicago Tribune captured an amazing photo

of lightning striking the Trump Tower + Sears (ahem, Willis) Tower at the same time.

AMAZING video of the strike shows that the Handcock building was also hit at the same time.

I took my little Diana Mini to Thailand and got some fun little photos!

Here are a few. Photoshop keeps crashing on me so I haven't been able to convert all of them yet. Don't worry my little Changlings, they will all get posted as soon as they are converted.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

oh, Diana.

my little dreamer.

i love you, but seriously, 120mm film is more bitchy than a teen drama queen on her period.

today i decided to finally go ahead and purchase a flash for you and the 35mm attachment.
i'm a little pissed that urban outfitters never came out with a matching flash for your limited edition beauty, as they promised.

but after long consideration, i have decided, to instead purchase your little sister.
the diana mini

Diana!! don't be mad! all of those attachments would ruin your intended beauty.

plus, i am traveling to thailand, and your sis is going to pack better.

So folks, if you are interested, I have a Diana F+ limited edition that is up for grabs.

She seriously is the cutest little gal you have ever seen.

Serious inquiries only.
