Sailing through Blue Skies

Hello all. I've been so busy getting ready for a trip out to Montana that I've been neglecting the blog here. And since we're heading out today I'll be away for another week! However, I think this trip will be just what I need to recharge my batteries and get inspired.

I hope you enjoy the upcoming week. Have a fantastic 4th of July weekend! I'll leave you with some new photos from yesterday... mushrooms!

Have a great week - see you soon!

More from today

2 more shots from today... I like how cropping out the actual viewfinder border allows the pale colors to dominate the images.

Fun and Games with the Duaflex

I'm officially addicted to TtV. I think a field trip to a park is in order later this week - if the rain holds off!

New Toy

I have a new photo toy. One I've been wanting for a while now....



A Kodak Duaflex! I'm so excited. I brought it home, grabbed a photo mailing tube, and taped it right on there. Why? So I can take actual Through the Viewfinder (TtV) photographs! Here are the preliminary results. I'm sure there will be more coming soon! I've got to practice more with setting up the composition instinctively. Because of how the lens works on the Duaflex, everything looks backwards in the viewfinder...
