Hi, I like this group ethos. I'm a bit of a contradiction. I love the old knackered distressed look but I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it's sometimes hard to accept imperfections. I guess I need to work on making perfectly distressed stuff which I like the idea of. Has anyone heard of ttv (through the viewfinder) photography? Just found out about it - taking digital photos through the viewfinder of an old box camera. Gives a great nostalgic look. Just bought an old camera on Ebay and waiting for it to have a go. Hoping to fit it in with the CBG stuff too.

I like clean and realy nice stuff as much as the other but this "ratrod feel" sure is cool aswell. This is my rattrod

I LOVE old shagged stuff and I've never really liked new looking anything.I remember taking sandpaper to my Levis when I was 11 and my dad kicking the crap out of me for it-this was way before you could actually buy 'em like that! Anyway, heres a pic of a 'relic' neck on a cbg by Christian Beshore-
