Toy Stories: Hi-brow Photos From Low-fi Cameras

One of the photos from my most recent series, Roadside Elegies, is in an exhibition organized by the New Orleans Photo Alliance and juried by the excellent toy camera photographer Susan Burnstine, who talks in the last 10 minutes of this podcast about the process of jurying the show. The opening is tonight, and while I wish I could be there, it's a good thing I didn't arrange to, since I'm home sick with a chest cold and fever.

 

Toy Stories: Hi-brow Photos From Low-fi Cameras contains 36 photographs made with toy cameras (such as a Holga) and pinhole cameras. They are all great images, and produced by some fantastic photographers, a number of whom – like Bill Vacarro and Annabelle Texter – have their artwork on Flickr.

 

My work, Roadside Elegies, pairs photographs of roadside death memorials with photographs of roadkill. all taken with a 4x5 pinhole camera over the course of the last 5-6 years. The diptych above is titled Mosside Boulevard, Monroeville, PA / Opossum #2.
