Eleven is Heaven
The 11th Somerville Toy Camera Fest is underway! Come by the Nave and Washington St galleries to see 80 gorgeous photos by 56 artists. Shows end September 27.
Our Festival programming includes an online event with juror Mary Kocol on September 16, and two in-person hands-on workshops sure to fire up lo-fi love.
What’s a toy camera?
Toys have come a long way since we started this Festival in 2013, but our north stars remain the plastic toy cameras that started it all back in the 1960s-70s. For our exhibitions, we welcome photos made with any camera that:
shoots film, or exposes images directly onto to photosensitive paper
has a plastic lens (or no lens — hello pinhole)
offers very minimal (or no) exposure control
