It’s that time of year again! The call for entries for the Krappy Kamera Contest, held by Soho Photo Gallery.
Here’s a wee bit about it (stolen liberally from their website!):
The Krappy Kamera concept was born in 1992 at the Soho Photo Gallery® during a regular monthly opening reception when a few members admitted they preferred using their junky cameras to their high-end ones. One of the members, Sandra Carrion, proposed organizing an exhibit opportunity for other gallery members and the rest is history: weve held the members Krappy Kamera exhibition every year since then.
Sandra Carrion says, I always used Krappy Kamera to distinguish between my good and not-so-good cameras. I added the Ks to make it funnier. We received so much publicity that it sort of took off on its own. Photographers from all over the U.S. started calling me to learn how they could be involved. So in 1997, Mary Ann Lynch, another gallery member, and I organized the first National Krappy Kamera® Competition. We worked on it together for about three years; my present position in the gallery is Koordinator of Krap.
