Nat’s new toy
♥ Comments (9) ♥
Nat got a new toy this weekend. We drove all the way to Northbrook to pick it up at the stupid FedEx place. (incedentally which was across the street from a UPS place) He got one of these crazy old cameras called a Kodak Duaflex II. I think he won it off ebay. When he told me he was going tot ake digital images with it i thought he was slightly crazy. Let me illustrate.
Here’s the camera:
Here’s the contraption he built for it
and here’s what you look like when you take pictures with it
and here’s what the final effect (after some cropping in photoshop) looks like (all photos are taken by nathaniel feb 2007
So as you can see it simulates a mediaum format shot. It’s shot thru the viewfinder. It’s kind of cool if you ask me and even better he says it only cost him 9$ (ebay people) and if you want the link to build the folding contraption go here and for a flickr group of photos from these cameras go here
And since i never post pictures of Simon, nat’s kitty. Here’s a few pictures of him while i was knitting my friends fetching mitts earlier in the month.

What a well trained kitty!
Cool looking pictures but it looks a little bit unwieldy.

It is very nice of Simon to hold your row counter for you.
Nifty camera contraption!

Ha! Dig it.
I think The Boy might have that camera in the basement (along with a BUNCH of other “vintage” cameras).

Aha, another cat who likes to count rows! My friend Kate’s cat likes to steal and play with her row counters, and we often joke about how she (the cat) must also knit… obsessive-compulsively counting her rows on multiple row counters to make sure she has it just right.

ooh, he’s going to do TTV!! I’m so jealous as I’ve been wanting to try that but with a lubitel instead since I don’t have a duaflex! It’s about the only camera I don’t have! LOL
