Soho Photo 2014 Krappy Kamera Competition Open International Call for Entries
Deadline: November 30, 2013
Exhibition: February 5–March 1, 2014
Opening Reception: February 4, 6–8 pm
Once again we will be searching for extraordinary photographs produced with cameras with lousy lenses. We encourage artists to explore this medium and let the creative juices flow while shooting and in the darkroom (wet or digital).
We are honored to have as this year’s juror, noted photographer, artist, educator and former Soho Photo member, Jean Miele, who notes that “he loves photography’s magical ability to transform the world—whether by Krappy Kamera, Photoshop, contemporary or antiquarian process.†In addition to creating fine art photography for galleries and museums, creating videos for artists (or anyone who’s passionate about their work), Miele—an American who lives in Brooklyn—also writes for photo publications and websites and teaches photo workshops.
What defines Krappy most? At Soho Photo we believe that the ‘wrong’ camera in the right hands is a powerful artistic tool. But remember it’s the Krappy Kamera Competition—not the Krappy print competition.
