Photography reception - A group of Holga/Pinhole/Toy photos from Flickr February 4, 2006

"Under the Surface" is a group photography show that will be held from January 13 - March 31 at the Keeble and Shuchat Gallery at 290 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA.

Here is the group on Flickr and some of the work is already in the pool - http://www.flickr.com/groups/underthesurface/

We are having a reception on Saturday, Feburary 4th from 1-4pm. If you are in the area, please come over -- it will be a lot of fun!

This show features 7 photographers who first met on Flickr. We are active in the Blurvision,
Pinhole, Toycamera.com, Toy Cameras, and Holgagraphy.

Mark (aka Pinhole) decided to organize this show with a group of other Flickr photographers who have a wide range of images in this particular photographic style. We hope this will encourage other people to consider doing shows with their Flickr collegues.

The photographers in this show use toy cameras, pinhole cameras and other techniques to create photographs that are not literal representations of the visual world -- and often there is some hidden meaning, emotion or subtext in the image.

The venue is The Gallery at Keeble and Shuchat -- a large, well-known photography store and gallery and a historic part of the local photography community. This gallery is in Palo Alto, the "capital" of Silicon Valley, less than a mile from the Stanford University campus, so there are many active professional and serious amateur photograhers in this area.
