vintageveiwfinder's Photos | SmugMug
The initial inspiration for my work comes from the square format photographs of the Kodak Instamatic camera. All of the family photographs of my early childhood were taken with an Instamatic camera that produced square prints. When Kodak discontinued the medium the frames of the snapshots changed from a square to a rectangle creating a visual demarcation between childhood and adolescence. I have always had a great sense of nostalgia for these square format photographs. The work you see here is a result of my quest to find a contemporary methods to produce square format photographs
The photographs in this collection were taken using a technique called “Through the Viewfinder”. The Through the Viewfinder technique is the process of capturing a photograph with a digital camera through the viewfinder of another camera. In my case, through the viewfinder of a vintage Argus Seventy-five twin lens camera with a waist level viewfinder. The viewfinder of the Argus camera is visible on the edge of the frames as well as the accumulation of “vintage dust” on the window and mirror.
The work presented here is part of a project called the daily viewfinder. Every day of the year, I capture an image creating a visual journal. This journal is not a linear narrative of my day to day life but rather a collection of random fragments of light, texture and motion.
