“Winners of Soho Photo’s 16th Annual Krappy Kamera International Juried Competition” Exhibition
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
“ ‘What if?’ is the impulse behind the whole idea of the Krappy Kamera Competition. ‘What if?’ is about pushing the limits of expectation and making surprise an integral part of the darkroom formula. “What if you allow the universe a hand in the process? What if your camera has light leaks, or you add kerosene to the developer, or you cobble a fifty-cent lens onto your $3,000 DSLR? These winning pictures are the answer. The answer to ‘What if?’ is that you create a little bit of room for magic to happen!”
Jean Miele
