I was sitting at home one night looking around the room and I spotted the Duaflex II sitting on my dresser and I thought that I should try to find some film and give it a try since I have had the camera for over 8 years now. I picked it up at a yard sale one day and thought it would look cool sitting on my self with the rest of my vintage cameras. I had every intention of buying film for it and seeing what kind of photos it would produce. I was very excited about it because I loved Black & White photography more back then. I searched for some film and to my surprise I found a site that sold 120 film ( I know that this camera doesnt take 120 film and I will get to that in a minute). I waited for it to arrive and when it did I was so excited to go and shoot with it. But to my surprise the 120 film didnt fit. Wait a minute I thought, Why wont it fit? I know I got the right film, it says 120 inside. Well when I looked again, it said "This camera will not accept 120 Film" Hmmm.... I guess I read that wrong. Well as with a lot of things having A.D.D. I said I would get around to getting 620 film and try it. Well back on the shelf it went. Now 8 years later, I sit and I look at the camera again and wonder if I should bother to buy some film and try it once again. No. Why bother? Its just to much of a hassle. Then it came to me in a dream. I know how I can use the camera. Then all these ideas popped into my head. I woke up and started to try things out.
This is what I tried out. I was blown away by all the possibilities this could have. I started to write things down and then thats when all the ideas were born. I hope that I can get enough of these photos so that I can eventually publish a book in the next year or 2.
