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.

I had the privilege of travelling to San Francisco last weekend and visiting dear friend Jen and her new baby Charlie. Just three weeks old he was a wonderful subject to shoot.

I have mixed emotions about the purchase I just made.

As many of you know I love toy cameras and I love film. Well I purchased something where I can shoot with a toy camera lens with my digital camera. It’s called the
Diana F+ Lens Adaptor
and it’s sold by Lomography.

I went out the other day and tried it out with my Diana Close-up Lens.
