 This is the first camera I ever had. I got it second hand in the mid 70's, when I was a teen. I thought it would make a nice subject for this challenge. I still have the bowl shaped flash unit for it and a pack of Sylvania Blue Dot flash bulbs. I had fun doing this.

This photo is beautifully rendered - the duotone choice excellent.. it evokes a photographic nostalgia - Oh the tales this camera could tell.

Good shot. You might have wanted to move the lights so they don't reflect in the lenses.

Very nice. I like the play on dua - duo.

The tonal range and contrast is very pleasing. This doesn't look like something converted to duotone but something born duotone. Good choice in subject.
