LightBox Photographic Gallery will celebrate its fourth anniversary with the opening and artist’s reception of the Plastic Fantastic Show IV on Saturday June 8, 2013 from 6-9pm.

The exhibits’ first place award winner, Bob Gervais of Portland, Oregon, will give an artist presentation and slide show Saturday at 4pm, before the exhibits’ opening. Bob is recognized for his work using a holga plastic camera to shoot street photography in many locales from NYC to Merida, Mexico. Please contact the gallery for reserved seating for this artist talk.
Featuring photographic images made with plastic “toy” cameras, with this exhibit we celebrate the gallery’s anniversary every year! The Plastic Fantastic Show IV stays true to pure film photography and the use of plastic, pinhole, box or homemade cameras. No digital photography is considered.
LightBox is very honored to have  Susan Burnstine  as juror once again for the Plastic Fantastic Show. Susan is an award winning professional fine art photographer based in Los Angeles who builds homemade cameras and lenses primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts and random household objects.  Susan is represented in galleries across the world, her images are mesmerizing and dreamlike, using film with the purity of the process as a vital element, without relying on digital processing.

LightBox believes in the fine art photographer, the individual vision that each exhibits with their artistic expression and the importance of the beauty and quality of the final print. Each image and print submitted from every photographer was included in this exhibit. e•mer•gence celebrates each photographers desire to be seen, the thrill of discovering a creative and unique vision, and the ideal of print sharing and the appreciation of the final print. With print sharing as the goal, each photographer will receive a print from another photographer when the exhibit comes down.
