through the viewfinder

in light of my fabulous flea market find yesterday, i spent a bit of time today playing with through the viewfinder photography. from what i've read online, this isn't the ideal camera for it, but that didn't really stop me. before i ventured into making any contraptions, i played with my macro on auto to see how close i could get before it would stop doing its auto thing. this was the result:

then, i fashioned a contraption of sorts and shot a whole bunch of pictures, of which i will share but two:


and this one:
i do think this could get a bit addictive, but i can see that i have to try outside on a nice, sunny day (it was rainy all day today, so i only tried indoors). and i can see that i need to be on the lookout for other fun cameras to try this with. i do so adore collecting things. :-)

Another friend of mine was just talking about this very same type of camera...she bought a special lens that approximates that image but on a digital camera. Does that make sense? I still am not quite sure how it works. I love your old camera though!
