This class was made for the last day at ArtFest in mind. Perfect way to bring home your memories of the weekend!
In this class you can buddy up with someone you made friends with, find new friends in class, or bring your
ArtFest creations to this classes to photograph in a twisted Vintage style!
We will be Up-cycling those old cameras that are collecting dust. TTV is this style of photography. TTV stands
for Through The Viewfinder. I will teach you how to build a contraption over this vintage camera so you can use with your
digital camera looking through the viewfinder. Take photos of each other or of your projects, if it's nice outside
we can even go on a picture taking walk around the Fort!
I will bring my computer to download your favorite photos & print out a sheet of Museum quality velvet
fine art paper with 2 of your images on it! Trade them, save them, frame them, or use them in a collage later!
The camera itself does not need to work, we will be looking through it! what you need to ask seller about camera is:
1. Check to see if the viewing and shooting lenses are free of scratches or pitting.
2. Check if the mirror inside the viewfinder chamber is scratched or stained. If you see big dark spots, the mirror is stained. Not good.

A Little About ME
I spend all of my time playing!
Some of my favorite things to play with include synthetic hair, wild fabrics, beads, wire,
paper clay, taxidermy eyes, scissors, thread, sewing needles, and cameras! I get crazy ideas
in my head & make them all come true.. A lot of my creations over the years have been published
in fashion magazines/books & used in performances.
