The Diana+ lens for DSLR.  Prior to this, you could only get the whole body and lens and you had to use special film.  The Diana F is a toy camera from Lomography, a company that makes a whole range toy cameras.

Diana takes the dreamiest, prettiest pictures and I’ve been toying (badum bum) with getting one for the longest time.  But because of how much the film costs not just to buy but also to develop, I stopped short at just the thought.

But now, thanks to the fine people at Photojojo, I can buy the lens and an adapter for my Nikon D50 and I’ll have something that’s even better than the Diana camera itself!!

This is going straight to the top of my wishlist!

IT’S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!!!

SO excited.  I love the holidays.  I love the cold weather so I can get snuggly in my sweaters and Uggs, I love the new red nose I put on my car, I love the lights on trees and the houses all decorated and sparkly… and I love wishlists!

This is one of the few times of the year when I don’t feel guilty for wanting things beyond my needs.  Those little things I find while browsing for other people’s presents that I would love to have but just aren’t necessary.  Like another camera lens.  Or more sweaters or jewelry!

While going through the gift guide on Etsy, I saw this cape

How gorgeous is that? The seller, Artlab, also has a ton of really cool scarves. Very haute.  I especially love this scarf:

But I digress.  Each year, it seems shopping for people I love gets harder and harder.  The more we go through life, the more stuff we accumulate and at some point we start to need or even want less and less. I recall asking for baking equpment for Christmas.  Last year I got a food processor and a tart pan, both of which I’ve put to good use.

This year, I don’t know what I want. Yoga gear? Like tops or shorts maybe?  I could ALWAYS use gift cards.

Regardless of what I do get, this entire year has been a pretty good present. Sappy no? Anyway, it’s been a good year. 2009 was enjoyable, it’s been a year of positive changes like I wanted, and it’s setting the stage for a great 2010.

I hope you all enjoy the upcoming festivities, whichever faith you hold.  And I hope you get everything you want this year too!
