I got an email yesterday from a guy in Australia who was interested in a rusty Kodak Duaflex IV camera, which I had listed at a low price due to its condition, thinking that maybe somebody could use it for parts.
Turns out that he is a member of the TTV: Through The Viewfinder group on RedBubble. TTV is a technique in which photographers use a digital camera to take pictures "through the viewfinder" of an older camera. Browse through the gallery if you have a minute - there are some gorgeous shots in there.
Things like this make me want to get back into the darkroom. I wish I had the time right now, but all my energy is being put into this business. But that's ok - I have never worked for myself before, and every day is an adventure at this point. Maybe in a year or two I'll be able to get back to making art like I used to.
Until then, I've got to dig out all my broken TLR cameras and get them up for sale - it's nice to know that they'll be getting a new life after all!
