because of misty......

these are my first attempts
of
photography
through
the
view finder
you take an old camera
a really old box camera
bought cheaply on ebay
have your wonderful
and
talented hubby
build a light diffusing
contraption
for it
~~~~~
attach your
macro lens
that
your thoughtful, loving
hubby
gave you for your birthday

and then go out in public
*
and
look silly
as people ask questions
as to what you're doing
*
and shoot
REALLY COOl PHOTOS !!!
~~~~~
oh, that misty !!
~~~~~
I left two of the photos with their square edges
and turned the other two into rounded edges
which ones do you like best ?

  3. how cool is that! I love the one with what appears to be a bridge in the background. I love the soft focus..it appears as if they came from a dream!

  10. ooh, girl! I like square corners cuz my dad shoots with vintage box cameras on vintage wooden tripods ALL the time and I am apesh** about his/those photos. These are gorgeous, really draw me in. How fun, to play, to learn, and to come up with BEAUTY all at once!
