Another photo from the mostly torn down Enchanted Forest in Hope Valley, RI. There are a few abandoned amusement trailers in the parking lot of the park. This one had very worn colors so I decided to capture it with my Diana+ in black and white. As always, I love the center focus (the words are legible) and how everything else fades into a mushy Diana vignette.

The Arista film (made in the Czech Republic) did a good job with this exposure, but a couple others on this roll came out very strange. If I feel the need to bother you with some bizarre photos I will upload them when I get the chance.

Created using my Diana+ with ARISTA.EDU ULTRA B&W DX120 ISO 400 film. Negative scanned with my Epson v700 Perfection scanner. No digital manipulation used!

    Nick Caves 'The Carney' just came on my playlist while looking at this shot. They work very well together. Your pic is eerie and beautiful at the same time.
