The other day, Jimmy picked up a Recesky Twin Lens Reflex Kit and thought it'd be fun to build knowing full well the camera itself would be, well, shit. But a toy is a toy, and he liked the idea of building a camera. I thought it'd be fun to shoot the process, so since the light in the apartment is nonexistent, we actually took it to my parent's house in Jersey where I was for the weekend... for the sole purpose of being able to shoot it in better light.
What we didn't realize was that it'd take a good two hours or so to put it together, although 85% of that was probably spent deciphering the instructions. They were in English but clearly not in English, ya know?
Well, it kinda works... we'll see if we actually manage to shoot through a roll on this. Some of the shots in the
receskly flickr pool don't look half that bad!
This looks really cool!! I can't wait to see what the photos will look like coming from this toy.
ReplyDeleteThe light in your parents place is beautiful - it was definitely a good idea to shoot the pics there for this particular purpose :)
That looks fun!
ReplyDeletethis is amazing!! where did you buy it? I'd love to get myself one of these! =D
ReplyDeletelooks like fun, I look forward to seeing what comes out of it :)
ReplyDeleteit's amazing! Can't wait to see your work soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it was fun, haha! And I agree. The lighting at your parents is pretty wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!! Even if the camera will be "shit"! ;) xo
ReplyDeleteWow, that actually looks like a lot of fun! And probably good practice for future camera mods and experiments, too. Even if the camera IS shit, it's nice to know how things work, something I wish I knew a bit more of myself!
ReplyDeleteHow neat! Can't wait to see pictures from it. :)
ReplyDeletewhat fun! looking forward to seeing what came out of it. i've never even heard of this camera before but i'm intrigued...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Somehow though, having that tape dispenser there is kinda scary... :)
ReplyDeleteI expect lots of fun, light-shot images...:D
