Thank you to our Juror, Becky Ramotowski, aka. Astro Beck
“Thank You to everyone who submitted their work. The time and effort it takes to make and then enter photos and go through the waiting process is not trivial. It was a pleasure to see and jury the entries. To those selected, congratulations and to those who were not, please keep entering. Keep making photos because you love photography.
As the expression goes, it’s not the camera, it’s the person behind the camera. No truer words could be said when toy cameras are involved. Toy camera users are a special bunch and it is easy to see that when viewing this show. I selected photos based on their creativity, use of light and shadow, storytelling, and compelling technique with limited feature cameras. Some make you think and some are just whimsical and make you feel good. A few are full of intrigue and make you wonder how they did it. The power of making the eye linger and investigating what’s under the surface and duality of meanings is strong among those selected.”
