Congratulations Traci, I had my man draw the name this morning.
You'll all hear from me soon!]]> http://blog.benconservato.com/?entry=entry080516-094040 emma@benconservato.com Fri, 16 May 2008 07:40:40 GMT First Diana Photos http://blog.benconservato.com/index.php?entry=entry080514-095707

So these are two of my first Diana F+, but all these are minus the flash due to it not functioning when I received it (working on that one and getting my replacement), I used Fuji Velvia 100F (slide film) cross processed, so they are all VERY red. Much redder than the 35mm films I have cross processed. I experiemented, and now I know what I should and shouldn't do with this camera, in general. I am pretty happy with the photos I have taken. Have a squizz at the rest on my Flickr pages.
The top photo is a pinhole photo by the way.]]> http://blog.benconservato.com/?entry=entry080514-095707 emma@benconservato.com Wed, 14 May 2008 07:57:07 GMT oooffff! I have finished Kersten's Moleskine! http://blog.benconservato.com/index.php?entry=entry080512-125928

After much commenting (as I was drawing while sitting in a gallery) I have finally finished Kersten's Moleskine for the Moleskine Exchange 6.
Her Moleskine has a theme: A Tribute to Edward Gorey.
The top image, which doesn't do it any justice, is how my piece fits with Kersten's.

Check out the Flickr group Moleskine Exchange to see the work of others. ]]> http://blog.benconservato.com/?entry=entry080512-125928 emma@benconservato.com Mon, 12 May 2008 10:59:28 GMT illustration friday: electricity http://blog.benconservato.com/index.php?entry=entry080510-162212
