Then my friend (she collects antiques) wanted to sell one, so I snatched it up. :)
I now have this little set up to take pictures with. What I'm doing is taking a digital picture with my camera, but pointing it at the old camera so I'm shooting through it's viewfinder which is pointed at my subject.
That's a kodak duaflex (circa 1950's) on the bottom, a cardboard/duct tape contraption fitted over it's viewfinder to block the light and my camera shoots through the top.
And this is what happens.
This is the first shot I took this way. That's my new porch decoration. It's much nicer to look at than all the icky snow.
But then, THEN, I took it to a wedding. And I will likely carry it with me at all times now. I love it that much. Not for all the pictures, mind you, just the ones that call for it. :)
Because look!
*swoon*

I absolutely LOVE the look it gives you! I'm glad you were able to pick it up to add to your collection for a great twist to your already wonderful art.
Sweet! I love the way the pictures turn out! :)

Meemer sent me the link to you blog and I have to say that is so very cool and I might totally have to steal this idea!! I have a camera like that and have kinda done something similar but your process is so much easier!!! I love the idea for using it for weddings!!! Awesome work!
