blackwood1Resourceful photographer Blackwood profiles his surfing life using a combination of his Kodak Duaflex, a toner cartridge box and his digital camera.

[All photos Blackwood, except picture 2, taken by RuTGer]

“When I’m not busy being a dad, taking photos or cruising in my Volkswagen bus, I like to ride longboards. After watching Thomas Campbell’s films I was inspired to get a fish, which I actually find quite hard to surf compared to a longboard. But I’m loving it anyway!

Mahalo to my wife Eveline for being my flower girl, RuTGer for introducing me to surfing and Ronald for introducing me to shooting TtV.”

This is fondly known as my 'Duaflex Contraption'. My digital camera sits on top of this rig, which enables me to shoot photos with my digital camera through the viewfinder of my old Kodak Duaflex. I need the paperboard tube to let the light out.

    wow that is really dope.
    i’ve been mucking about with some old polaroids i have but hadn’t ever thought of combining digital with vintage. I’m stoked! when i get home i’m going to dig up all my old camera and lenses, find a roll of duct tape and ‘knutsel’ some kind of a contraption like yours.

    mahalo for the inspiration
