Artist Statement:
The forthcoming exhibition (June 1 - July 1, 2001) will include
images taken in Paris with a Holga Camera. A Holga camera, being a
plastic toy camera with a plastic lens, yields a dreamlike,
impressionistic imagery that is befitting Paris, the City of Lights.
Light leaks, flair, distortion, fuzziness and double exposures,
intentional and otherwise, are inherent in the photographs taken with a
Holga. In a Style Weekly (February 8, 2000) review of the show Cheap
Shots, Deborah McLeod wrote "France is a place where magic constantly
interferes with formality..." I hope that the photographs represented
in this exhibit will once again demonstrate the magic of Paris.
