the fun you can have!
>> Friday, January 21, 2011
What do you get when you take an old Kodak Brownie and play around while the babies are sleeping? A really fun time for mama! I have heard of people making adaptors for their old cameras and then taking pictures with their digitals through them. Really? How fun! My girlfriend Rachel lent me a couple of her old cameras. One was a Kodak Brownie Reflex that I immediately was drawn to. It reminded me of the camera that my great grandparents used to have. Doesn't that kind of memory just give you a warm fuzzy feeling? THEN I found a group on flickr called Through the Viewfinder. They only take pictures through the viewfinder of other cameras. I don't have an adaptor and I am no pro but I very shyly submitted one of my self portraits this week. When you hit the submit button you just hope people are kind or just not comment :) Here was me playing with this toy this week.
and then the family member who always seems to be sleeping
Without an adaptor you see the camera so I may even try to put together one of those before I give her back then get it outside and see the beauty the old girl can show me.

So very interesting. I love the texture and "vintage" feel you get from it. I may have to keep my eye open for some of these older cameras when I go yard saling this spring. :)
oh interesting! I've never heard of this before... I wanna see more of what you do with it!

VERY cool shots, Jessie! I think I remember my uncle shooting with one of these 'oldie' cameras. I wonder if he still has it...
this is so, so cool!
