Through the Viewfinder no. 1

I found an interesting way to shoot photos. Using an old waist-level medium format camera, focus your digital camera on the ground glass viewing window, and shoot a photo of that. Voila! Old-timey funkiness!
Sure it's a gimmick, and it's not as easy as it sounds, but it's fun. And there's a Flickr group.

This is my first test attempt. The camera I used for the viewfinder isnt a particularly good one, but all I could find were Yashicamats, which dont quite create the look I'm seeking*.


* I dont think so, anyway. More testing is in order.
