Over the summer I was part of another group art show with the Analog Sunshine Recorders. You may remember the last couple of shows at The Manifest and 39Hotel. The new show entitled "Come Together" was held at Peace Cafe on S. King street.Here is the info on "Come Together":
Come Together is a collaborative effort to discover the hidden in the obvious, as well as the obvious in the hidden; through the use of the most basic principals of camera operation, technique, and intent. It is through the over simplified, both in philosophy and methodology, that we are able to partially relinquish our control as photographers and let the resulting photograph inform our pursuit. These photographs are the end result of that pursuit and are unpredictable and magical. All photographs are double exposed to create an interesting and unhindered composition of images on the negative. We each shot using 35mm film then randomly swapped the roll with another photographer, finally shooting the exchanged roll of film juxtaposing new images over the unknown previous exposures. The photographs exhibited here are the evidence of images informed by chance, possibility and happy accidents.
An ASR meeting sort of goes like this, we all meet up at the photo lab at UH and have a beer and talk about chris's beard, then we take a roll of film and go home.
I used this plastic 'Blackbird Fly' camera to shoot my roll. I like this camera because it exposes the entire negative, including the sprocket holes which I like. Also, when loaded with film, the camera still only weighs as much as a pack of pop-tarts.
The art work is displayed in The Peace Cafe, located at 2239 S. King Street. The opening was back at the end of April, but the photos are still on display, so please get down there and check out the art and enjoy some food (try the vegetarian musubi).
