Wow! I love the processing on the first image. Any insight on how to create this effect or is it a trade secret? :-) I love your work and am a huge fan!

Britney <<< Thanks for coming out of the blog reader closet :)

Carl <<< Yeah, I could teach the technique/theory behind it...camera cruise?

AWESOME!!!!

The 2nd shot absolutely fantastic...do you teach this "viewfinder" technique!??!

Amazing photos!!!!

Linhbergh <<< Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me :) I'm not sure if you are familiar with the "through the viewfinder" technique but it's defined as taking a picture of any subject through the viewfinder of any camera with another camera. So I can appreciate your opinion that the framing takes away from the image, but that's just how the image is created.

Fred, it was so great to meet you the other night! Definitely let me know if you come through A-town! Lovin' the second shot there. :)

I absolutely love the first one. The only thing I'm not liking is the distressed/film framing. I personally think it takes away from the image. I see what direction you're going for, but somehow it just isn't coming across like, I think, how it should. The second one is fantastic though. The framing works well here.

While both of the shots are amazing, the second is just downright inspiring. I dig it so much I wish I taken it. Never have posted on here, but always check in to see the "latest and greatest of Fred". Keep it up.

Ack, can you please stop being so AMAZING? Sheesh. I love that first shot; feels so personal and up-close--I love when I get that feeling from an image.

Nice TTV shots! I love using my Duaflex and various other viewfinder camera...haven't used them in a while though, you've inspired me to get them out again!

Awesome. Thanks for this 5 minute break. Haha
