RayKo Photography Exhibition
Features the best images from the worst cameras
RayKoÂ’s 10th Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show
Opening Reception: Wednesday, March 1st, 6-8pm
Exhibition dates: March 1 – April 23, 2017
RayKoÂ’s 10th Annual Plastic Camera Show is opening on March 1st from 6-8pm! China may have announced that theyÂ’ve stopped making the Holga (a plastic medium format camera with limited controls, a fixed focal length, and a unique and often crappy plastic lens), but artists are still churning out images from this toy camera and many others like the Diana, the Bluebird, the Brownie Hawkeye, the Ansco Pix Panorama, the Sprocket Rocket, the Lomo Super Sampler, the Agfa Isoly and many others youÂ’ve never heard of. Along with the 83 international artists juried into this competition (just 89 pictures selected out of 5000 entries), we will also exhibit photographs by the featured artists from our past 9 years of fantastic plastic camera shows: Veronika Lukasova, Aline Smithson, Michael Emery, Roy Berkowitz, Michael Borek, Thomas Alleman, Robert Holmgren, Sam Grant, Michelle Bates, James Rohan, Ernie Button, Jennifer Shaw and Gordon Stettinius. It's a landmark show, so we're thrilled to show some history in what could be the last exhibition ever at RayKo. After 26 years in business, the owner of RayKo Photo Center is moving on, so this show will be the last at the RayKo we know and love. Who knows what is going to happen next, so celebrate these artists and all this film photography this spring!
Film isnÂ’t dead even if things are changing, so rejoice and come down to RayKo on the night of March 1st to experience the magic with the rest of us fans of the latent image. Since itÂ’s the last official opening, many of the other artists will be in attendance so come raise your glass to them!
