365.311: new meets old

posted by Lisa on November 7th, 2009

We picked up my Kodak Duaflex II from the post office, this morning (thank you, ebay seller, for shipping so promptly). I.am.in.love!

I didn’t have a contraption handy (directions printed, supplies ready, just need some time), but I think I got some decent shots with my D40. This will surely tide me over in photography obsessions now that I’m 5 shots away from running out of film for my Spectra.

Please don’t be mad if my next few Project 365 photos are shot “through the viewfinder.” That would be TtV from here on out. There’s a whole AMAZING group on Flickr devoted to these photos. So much inspiration! It was the reason I started a bidding war on eBay for my Duaflex. I was outbid at literally the last second and then ended up doing the same to some unsuspecting person out there. I don’t know you, but I APOLOGIZE!

on to the good stuff:

I can’t wait to start taking photos of humans through the viewfinder!

Hey Lisa, this is way cool. I had not run across TtL before, and am intrigued to try it out myself.

it’s pretty fun! there are many different cameras with the viewfinder on top, so it shouldn’t be too hard or expensive to acquire one. $15-20 +shipping on eBay is what I kept coming across during my search.
