A Year in the Life of a Camera

A Year in the Life of a Camera was derived from one photographer asking, "What would other artists create with my camera?"

With that question posed, a group of fine art photographers developed the following concept:

- 52 photographers, one for each week of the year (April 2004- April 2005)
- A random drawing held to assign each photographer one week
- The same Canon AE-1 film camera and 50mm lens has to be used
- All final images must be 8"x12" black and white as well as identically matted and framed 16"x20"
- All photographers will select the prints to be featured in the exhibition

This concept will demonstrate that the camera is simply a tool and that each artist's eye creates from within. The objective of this exhibition is to provide the public with an opportunity to view a photographic exhibition based solely on the artist's vision and interpretation, not based on equipment. This format is unique as most photographic exhibitions are open to all camera sizes, any lens, film type, as well as a variety of finished print sizes.
