Are You There, God? It's Me, Cookie Monster

dirty ttv :) hawt

After a long day, what better way to have a laugh than grabbing a 25+ year-old Cookie Monster and shooting a few images through the viewfinder of an Argus 75?

thanks everyone!

@mothernature -- the "look" is actually the result of taking a digital image through the viewfinder of an old Argus 75 camera... the viewfinder and lens are really that dirty/scratched. The only work done in Photoshop was to crop out the excess black border that results in said technique. ReyGuy, who posted on this thread, is the man responsible for my interest in TVF shooting.

jason.s That is just so cool Jason! I don't know why I didn't pick up on this first time around, you made it abundantly clear. Wow, what a cool idea. My Dad used to shoot with an Argus, I wonder if this is how it looked to him! Probably now it would.

This effect is really *really* incredible...I have a few Argoflexes lying around, and now I'm all stoked about it! I can't seem to get the focus right through the viewfinder, but I'm sure I'll get it!

Thanks so much for sharing this!
