“Plastic Perception” a toy camera photography contest

Long Beach City College presents “Plastic Perception” a toy camera photography contest.

“Photographing with simple plastic lens, these low-tech devices came to be popular with photographers, Plastic cameras, such as the original Diana and Holga appeal to a wide range of people. To some, they are a novelty; a cheap toy to play with. For many veteran photographers, they are a breath of fresh vision, allowing lightness and joy back into tired eyes.” – Michelle Bates, Toying with Creativity.
