These are some of the books I am currently reading and a few of my favorite. As you can see I read mostly non-fiction and non-mainstream books.
Have you read any of these and if so what did you think?

A few weeks ago i shot some more TTV shots around Downtown Nashville. I am beginning to get a feel for how to compose and frame with these. Here are a few that Like:
I actually got yelled at for taking this. So i wont tell you where is was taken.
I like the vintage feel this give to a normal shot of the Music City Star Station.
Lower Broadway — This turned out blurrier than I would have liked but it gives it a good feel.
There are more (slide show here) and as i shoot more I will be posting them on my TTV city project page so go check them out.

A while ago i was searching for idea of projects using disposable cameras and came across an website by Matthew Knight called The Disposable Memory Project. The idea is to hand to someone or leave a disposable camera somewhere public so that someone will take it, snap a few pictures, then pass it to someone else. Once its full the camera is developed and the pictures posted.
I decided to participate and drop some cameras around Nashville. My plan was to put two out this week but with this rain I only got one place. It was placed on the bench in front of the Whole Body Store in Green Hills.
I will be putting some around town over the next few months so keep a lookout. Who knows I may just walk up to you somewhere and hand you one.
A link to my part of this Project
I got props (did I jsut type that?) and mentioned in the same place as my childhood and almost current crush) Kylie Minogue.

I recently aquired a Kodak Brownie Relfex Synchro model vintage camera circa 1940-1952. Every thing seem to be working on it on and the shutter seems fine although it does need a good de-dusting. These cameras use 127 film which isn’t very easy to get a hold of these days becasue i think they stopped making it in 1997.
So until i can get film for it or I am able to modify it for use with 120 film or 35mm film i plan on using it as an additional filter to take TTV, or Through the Viewfinder, photos. This is where you use a camera, in my case my Canon DLSR, and shoot through a viewfinder of most likely a vintage camera. Under the hood on the top of the camera is a large viewfinder that one would use to frame the shot. This is what is shot in a TTV type photo. The glass and dust of the viewfinder usually give the shot a very nice vintage look. It also helps to have some sort of light blocking aprattus on it to get the cleanest shot you can get (see mine here).
I took my assembled device out today and shot the following photos as my test run.
taken at the Bicentennial mall in Nashville, TN. Only slight Photoshop Mods
Light Post at the Bicentennial Mall, Nashville, TN. Used an Antique Filter in Photoshop.
This one is my favorite. I did a Black and White concersion of this shot of the Capitol Building form the Bicentennial Mall. I think the came out the best.
My newest project is going to be ti shoot some street and building shots around Nashville over the next month. That will give me the chance to master this method and allow me to take more creative shots.
