A new, green-friendly photographic exhibit will feature work by local photographers at the Re-Art Gallery, located at the Recycle/Reuse Center, 2420 South Industrial Hwy., Ann Arbor.

Cheapshots II (even the name is recycled) will feature the work of members of the Ann Arbor Area Crappy Camera Club (A3C3), as they show what one can do with film cameras that are hand-me-downs, thrift shop gems, plastic wonders from Recycle Ann Arbor, and metal-bodied misfits saved from the jaws of oblivion.

It's no secret that A3C3 members have long been using film cameras while being surrounded by howling digital winds. Their mission, to keep silver-based photography alive, has become a calm island of creative anachronism, as they strive to produce meaningful imagery using what many people consider to be camera cast-offs.

Their tools represent reclaimed photographic gadgetry, and their images, housed in reclaimed frames and glass, will be viewable at the Re-Art Gallery, from January 4-31, 2010.

Show opening reception - Saturday, January 9, 2-4 pm - come and meet the photographers.

I was over at the Recycle / Reuse Center at around 1 PM today (1-4-10) to pick up some supplies for an upcoming recycle project. I stopped in at the Re-Art Gallery and toured the photographs on display. Well done! I enjoyed it! Unfortunately it looked as though several photographs were missing and some of the signage as well.
