RayKo Photo Center
2nd Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show

Description
The competition is open to artists working with plastic cameras with plastic lenses. The more obsolete, flawed, and lo-tech, the better. Images should be taken with cameras with limited controls, such as Diana, Holga, Lubitel, Lomo, Banner, and Ansco cameras. Beautiful prints from less-than-gorgeous cameras – that’s what we’re looking for!

Juror
Ann Jastrab MFA, is a fine art photographer, master printer, and teacher. She is currently splitting her time between San Francisco, where she works as the gallery director at Rayko Photo Center, and Los Angeles where she is printing vintage negatives for the Motion Picture Academy. Ann has also been teaching photography courses at the Maine Photographic Workshops since 1995.

Prizes
Best in show receives $250. Honorable mentions receive plastic cameras of our choosing…curious?

ALL MY LOVIN - A call for Artists!

The relationships we engage in throughout our lives beginning with our Families provide a lot of the raw materials for how our characters form throughout our lives. These are some of the most challenging interactions we will engage in and the source of some of our greatest gifts, happinesses and likewise unhappinesses and burdens.

Lodz Fotofestiwal Poland, Sirius Arts Centre Ireland, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin are searching for interpretations on the theme of relationships, family in all their multiple and varied forms that exist in the 21st century. Humour, passion, struggle, history and compromise are all subjects we'd like to see considered in these photographic and multimedia submissions. We're looking for new interpretations and fresh ideas concerning this subject. So enlighten us!

Submissions will be juried by the Directors of these institutions and be curated into an exhibition, to be premiered initially at Lodz Fotofestiwal in May 2010. The exhibition will then tour to the other partner organizations following the initial premiere - a publication will accompany the exhibition.

Deadline for submissions is 28 February 2009, see attached for submission details and address for delivery. Works will be juried in March 2009 in Berlin and announcements will be made in April 2009 to those accepted.
