TtV photos ("Through the Viewfinder") are my latest intrigue and passion. I have been creating look-alike TtV's in Photoshop and am waiting with bated breath for the vintage Argus Argoflex Seventy-Five TLR camera that i won on Ebay so that i can create authentic TtVs. My plan is to use the viewfinder on the vintage camera to "frame" an image, and then take a photograph of the viewfinder with my digital camera (I found instructions on the internet for creating a tunnel-like contraption that I can place between the viewfinder and my SLR camera, to block out light)...more to come. In fact, i want to plant a little seed here. I am planning on teaching an online course this Fall on altering photos in Photoshop -- one of my focuses will be on creating TtV look-alike photos. More to come...
oh, and yes, that is my darling mr. tuttle making a rare appearance on my blog:)
And don't you love serendipity? -- one of my favorite musicians, Patrick Watson, has created a music video through-the-viewfinder -- and there's even a vintage camera in the video:).
...and the unplugged version -- he completely gets into the "zone."
