"Plucking chrysanthemums along the east fence;Gazing in silence at the Southern Hills;
The birds flying home in pairs
Through the soft mountain air of dusk--
In these things there is a deep meaning,
But when we are about to express it,
We suddenly forget the words."
--Tao Qian excerpted by R.H. Blyth in A Modern Buddhist Bible, ed. Donald S. Lopez, Jr.

Hey, are you shooting with a HOLGA or something? Through a plastic lens or what craziness? Not this one, the last one.
It's the 'through the viewfinder' technique. You use a digicam to look through the viewfinder of an old-timey camera (mine's a kodak duaflex). There are some groups on flickr and more instructions if you google it.
Thanks, KM!
Indeed, I feel like I'm on a quest right now.
