One thing I enjoy with my photography is learning about new formats of photography. I have been reading about TTV, through the viewfinder. Before I even knew what that was I was seeing alot of these images over the internet and was very much attracted to that type of photography. At first I thought it was "Photoshop" trickery but it is actually a photograph taken by using two camera. OK, now
how do I get started. First I had to purchase an old Kodak Duraflex Camera, so onto Ebay I went. From what I read I wouldn't have to spend more than $20. My did I have good luck, I spent .99 cents, no other bidders....great. Then my next challenge I have to build a contraption to block out the light and also be long enough for my lens to get a good focus on the other lens. Sounds confusing...well here is an example
of that it looks like.

The above website is where I learned how to make my contraption. I used black thin poster board for mine and taped it to my camera since I am awkward and don't have long arms. Still challenging and uncomfortable. Hopefully in time will be better. I have listed a few of my TTV's. My daugther who was nice enough to model for me and whom I think is a natural beauty anyways. I think the effect is amazing and I'm learning to play around and hopefully my subject matter and my technique will improve. But I'm definately having fun trying.
