Dream in Plastic – Analog Exhibit




I was honored to be a part of Dream in Plastic‘s first gallery exhibit, Analog. The images had to have been shot with a toy camera.

Dream in Plastic is located in Beacon, New York and sells toy cameras (and lots of other gems).

The exhibit ended in September but I forgot to blog about it. Oops.
