I shot these with my Kodak EasyShare through the viewfinder of an old Keystone 60 Second Everflash camera. Of course, I didn’t try it until after it was dark out, and so there wasn’t enough light to shoot without flash. I want to try it again, with natural light, because I think this might be a fun lomo-ish sort of toy to play with.

Since you’re obscuring the viewfinder, there’s no way to tell exactly what you’re shooting. You just kind of have to aim and pray.

The Keystone is a Polaroid clone. There’s a built-in timer on the side of the camera. It takes the old peel apart pack film, which I’m amazed to find out is still being manufactured and sold. I’ll have to give this one a try when I get a little extra cash.

And speaking of Polaroids, I figured out the overexposure problem with the little Land camera I’ve got. It needs a filter, because the modern 600 film that’s currently available is waaaaay too fast for it. So, there’s more to play with there, too, when I get a chance.
