"the project allowed anyone, anywhere, to request a disposable camera from the gallery, snap some shots, and return it to have their work displayed at the show."
Art House isn't your typical gallery. They've got a bunch of these little mail-order projects going on and then display the results all around the country. And that they're based in Atlanta reminds me, "Atlanta Celebrates Photography" is going on right now. It's an insane three-month-long series of programs about photography that started Sept 1 and goes on to the end of Nov. Why can't we have something like that here in NYC?
Apparently, an internal Kodak "fire 'em up" video that's leaked out into the wild. Bring on the schmaltz.
The You Tube commentary devolves into digital vs. film walla.
