Photographed here are my two TtV contraptions, Kashi & Krispy created by myself and my boyfriend. We created these using two of my twin lens antique cameras, two cereal boxes, silver duct tape, and black electrical tape. Kashi features a Carlton-Reflex and Krispy uses a Kodak Duaflex IV. Krispy creates brighter images than Kashi, but the Carlton's viewfinder is larger and we both like the images it creates.

    1) i would just use black tape, but it was thin & we didnt have much of it, so i used silver duct tape to construct the thing & the black tape just to cover spots where light was leaking
    2) the tabs are somewhat useful on Kashi, because the Carlton-Reflex is so big, so they can cover up any part of the top that is not covered by the digital camera

    I'm trying to get my head around this without being familiar with the cameras... do you poke your digital cam in the top and take pretty pics?

    these are pretty cool. I made one of these with my Argus and some black posterboard but I have yet to try it out cause I don't have a long enough lens for my other camera. I'm excited though.

    I think that TtV has become my new favorite form of photography (sorry Holga). I had my TtV thing made for a while but never got the chance to try it but yesterday I went out walking around town with it and I am in love with it. The photos are amazing.
