The juror for Krappy Kamera was photographer, artist, and educator Jean “Gino” Miele, who wrote:
When I had narrowed down nearly a thousand entries to just under a hundred, my wife asked me, “What are you looking for?”
“Magic,” I said. “Ooh. Aah. Better than good. A feeling. A big, unequivocal, yes!” I wasn’t looking for “good,” or “I kind of like that.” I wasn’t looking for clever, or cute. (To be honest, there was one exception to this, but it really made me smile.) I definitely wasn’t looking for cliche.
I was looking for access to another dimension. There's a dream world intertwined with this one, and we all drift back-and-forth, never entirely sure which world we’re in. The pictures I selected for the show made me feel like I could see both worlds at the same time.
We all create our own metaphorical lenses and, depending on the lens we look through, we each see a different world. I’m grateful to the final 50 in this exhibition for sharing the magic of their worlds with us. These artists understand that photography — that seeing — isn’t a passive activity. It’s an act of creation. The photographs in this exhibition haven’t captured something “out there.” They provide glimpses of half-remembered truths from deep “in here.”
These pictures all have mojo. Something extra. Mystery. Alchemy. Poetry… written with a plastic lens.
- Jean ‘Gino’ Miele, March 2023
