RayKo’s Annual Plastic Camera Show includes stunning and sometimes surprising images made by the crappy camera-toting winners of this competition.

2016 Rayko’s Plastic Camera Show

Rayko Photo Center, 428 Third Street, San Francisco
FREE

  • Opening Reception: Wednesday, March 9, 6-8pm
  • Exhibition Dates: March 9 – April 29, 2016

The juried competition was open to international artists working with plastic cameras with plastic lenses. The more obsolete, flawed, and lo-tech, the better.

Images were taken with cameras with limited controls, such as the Diana, Holga, Lubitel, Lomo, Banner, and Ansco cameras. Beautiful prints from less-than- gorgeous cameras – that’s what will be on display.

This is RayKo’s largest exhibition of the year with artists from all over the globe submitting work, and hundreds of attendees at the reception.
