Toy Polloy international toy camera photography show

So sayeth the show’s Web site, toypolloy.com:

It is used as a derogatory phrase meaning "the common people." Those most artists wish to separate from.

Toy Polloy is that separation… Photographically speaking.

Toy Polloy use cheap, common toy cameras, yet their results can be rich and uncommon.

Camera Oscura pinhole photography show poster

An international exhibition of contemporary pinhole photography, in Gran Canaria, from 3 to 30 November 2006, featuring work from Ricardo Montesdeoca, Joaquin Casado, Anastasia Medvedeva, Henrieke Strecker, David Cugnasca, Daniel Zrihen, Dmitry Rubinshteyn, and Katie Cooke.

Don’t let the cable release in the eye bother you, I’ve seen work by several of these artists, and they’re amazing. Not "good for pinhole", but great artists, period. If you’re in the area, I suggest not missing this. A printed catalogue will be available.

Natalie Brahan’s "South of Bloor" photo show, Toronto, CA

South of Bloor flyer

Natalie Brahan writes:

South of Bloor is an exhibit of photographs that focuses on the south side of Toronto. It seeks to capture the colourful and, in many cases, lesser-noticed aspects of neighbourhoods south of Bloor and south of the Danforth. Although I have experience using conventional photographic methods in both film and digital formats, I prefer to use toy and vintage medium format cameras. I feel that the imperfect images that they often produce complement the unique character of the older neighbourhoods in the city.
