Stephen Takacs, current OCAC photo student, had a piece juried into the Krappy Kamera XII INTERnational Juried Competition at the Soho Photo Gallery in New York in March. Steve received an honorable mention, as well as a people choice award. The show was juried by Daile Kaplan, who runs Swann Auction Galleries and is a photo expert on Antiques Roadshow. The concept underlying this show is that in the hands of an artist, any piece of equipment can be used to create engaging photographs. The Krappy camera category, which has included well-known names such as Diana, Holga and
Lubitel as well as obscure junk-store finds and homemade pinhole jobs now adds cellphones sand the like to the list.
