Happy Friday to all! I’m glad the week has come to an end, I need a little rest from another crazy work week. Besides work, I actually accomplished and finished new necklace designs and that’s always a good thing.

My desk is usually very cluttered, it cannot be clean for more than a day. I always end up coming up with something and messing around with findings, chains or beads. Of course, in the middle is my giant computer. Ah the life of a crafter, huh?

“half messy”

Taken with Nikon D60 and Diana F+ lens
These pictures were taken some weeks ago with my Nikon camera and the Diana F+ toy lens. I bought the adapter from Photojojo (LOVE their site!) and immediately started playing around with the possibilities.

I like the convenience of digital picture taking so having a “toy lens” effect is a plus. There’s no zoom so you really have to play with distance, just like using a regular film camera, and also changing the settings on the camera itself. Seeing the pictures on screen makes it easier to change settings and get the right shot!

Since I’m on the subject of camera lenses, I just purchased a new lens and can’t wait for it to arrive. I sold my other lens because it was just too bulky and a pain in the butt to switch. I’m pretty excited about this new one, it’s a 50mm prime lens that should get really nice shots with depth of field. I will definitely be taking that with me to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon next month (21 days)!

Have a great weekend!
