Response to shooting blind

I've done a little "blind shooting", mainly with a 24 or a 20mm lens, but I would still rather see what's going on. The little Yashica T4 Super has a viewfinder window on the top of the camera that is handy when you're down in the mud, or you want to shoot from the waist or way over your head. I also use a Nikon F3 this way sometimes, though focusing is usually by the distance scale. The TLR's are shot this way a lot, of course, and a friend of mine who lived in the Netherlands for a while said that the Dutch word for a TLR translates as "belly-eye." I realize that most of this does not address the "blind" shot, but is another way.
