Apr 16 2010
i Spy With My Plastic Eye
5th And Sunset Studios – 12322 Exposition Blvd West Los Angeles, CA 90064Admission: FREE
i Spy With My Plastic Eye, is a group exhibition visualized by photographer, Astor Morgan. The exhibit, brought to life by A&I, is a testament to the unique qualities of toy cameras. Each artist approached their imagery with a singular voice, using a variety of film types, techniques, and cameras. The photographs in this exhibit speak of gesture, of time passing, of simplicity and complexity, allowing for a wide range of expression. And all of this magic has been captured through an inexpensive plastic lens, part of an inexpensive plastic camera that inspires discovery and serendipity.
The i Spy With My Plastic Eye exhibit will be on display at 5th and Sunset Studios. Available for viewing April 1st to April 30 by appointment only by calling 310.979.0212. Books will be available with a “foreword” by Aline Smithson. Proceeds of book and print sales benefit www.weSpark.org.
Artist’s reception and book signing April 16, 8pm to 11pm.

I just returned from Palm Springs and made some Polaroids with my Holga. Enjoy this one of Meghan. I was having a fight with my film trying to figure out the correct lighting to capture the perfect Silver Polaroid look and finally got it on the last frame. A salute to her patience as I cursed my camera and this film. I’m quite happy with this photo.
