Through the Viewfinder

You could say it was love at first sight.  Ever since I first discovered through the viewfinder photography, I have been enthralled with its ghostly charm.  Last summer I was lucky enough to acquire a vintage Argus 75 camera.  It has a beautiful stereoscopic style - think of the View Master.  I still need some practice taking through the viewfinder photos, but I did get some pretty nice ones over the last few days that I'd like to share.

This photo shows the window of the camera.  It can be difficult to get the camera you're shooting with lined up so that the image is a nice clean square.  I wore out my battery twice practicing before I could do it with any consistency.

This is a shot of my husband's wonderful vintage tin car.  I love, love, love this little toy.

A couple of cheesy vintage ornaments are much improved when photographed this way.

This shot reminds me of The Airborne Toxic Event album cover.

This is one self-portrait I can live with.  You can see that the camera wasn't perfectly lined up by the blue on the left hand side of the frame.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek at my photos!

Sunset and Moon Rise

Long time, no see! Earlier in the year I decided to pursue a diploma in radiation therapy and have been busy getting my university prereqs in order. I took a summer session course in sociology this May/June which kept me very busy. No time to blog! Or do much else for that matter.

I did manage to get some photos of amazing twilight scenes. I really love the transition from day to night. A time of power according to pagan tradition and it's easy to see why.

I recently re-read the LoTR series and was captivated by the description of Arwen Evenstar... the living elvish embodiment of twilight. All those shades of blue, grey and purple, sparkling silver and white! Delicate oblivion.
