LeS through the viewfinder, 2007.

I have waxed poetic about the sometimes eerie/always fabulous photography phenom known as 'Through the Viewfinder' here before. I cannot seem to get enough of this way to capture an image. I think it is partly because I am a bit of purist when it comes to altering photographs other than the ever-handy crop with an occasional bump to the the color saturation/contrast thrown in.

Using the TtV process distorts the image before the shutter is ever released and, therefore, seems more 'contraptiony' and artistic than 'computery' to me. Having said that, I was lucky enough to receive Photoshop CS2 as a christmas gift from my girl B. Once I sink my teeth into that properly I may change my tune a little :).

But until then, some of the fruits of my TtV labor can be found in my 'i want my TtV' set over at Flickr. I joined the 'Through The Viewfinder' group on Flickr as well. Heck, this Saturday has even been dubbed 'World TtV Day' and I plan to get out there with my cameras and contraptions to feed this lovely obsession.
