My photograph, “Time becomes memory,” from the series Lost connections, is included in this year’s Krappy Kamera exhibition.
The exhibition, hosted by Soho Photo in New York, is online this year. You can see it here from July 16 through August 12, 2021. Click on any photo to see the images large, and click on the (i) at the lower left to see the artist’s name and camera type.
The philosophy behind this exhibition is that in the hands of any artist great photographs can be made with basic equipment. To explore this talent, the gallery searched for extraordinary photographs made with lousy lenses.
The juror for Krappy Kamera was fine art photographer, master printer, curator, and educator Ann Jastrab, who is Executive Director of the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA.
An artists’ reception and online talk by Ann is scheduled for Tuesday, July 20, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Ann wrote, “I was honored to revel in the creativity and talent of these wielders of toy cameras. There were so many amazing photographs, dream-like, otherworldly, pictures I wished I’d taken, pictures that squeezed my heart, pictures that made me rethink what a photograph could be, so many gifts in a year that needed more beauty, more possibilities, more escapes."
