Contraption Thingy

First off I want to clarify, no matter how much I would like to be seen as very clever and brilliantly creative, I can’t take any credit for this cool contraption thingy. The credit and inspiration all goes to a great designer and photographer, Jason Garcia, whom I ran into at Lux coffee shop. He was lugging around this weird, black tube like thing taking pictures of scooters in the parking lot. Curiosity got the best of me and I had to go find out what he was up to. Turns out he shoots down a constructed tube into the viewfinder of a vintage Kodak Duaflex. The result is a square, grainy, artsy fartsy, retro picture. Cool. I just had to go right out and get my own Duaflex and build my contraption. Below are a few of the first results of images in and around our garden:
