Taking a tongue and cheek look at clichés through the medium of photography, 17 artists of 81 Bees will display a series of images that are unafraid of clichés, but rather delve into the action of finding original meaning in the mundane. Notes 4x5 Gallery founder Gordon Szeto, “The works, well, it’s painfully perfect and funny.”

Back some months ago I walked into Photobooth to talk with Vince about the 81 Bees showing work. We started pondering what the theme should be. Vince said “Underwater” and I said ”Great” or “Awesome” or something along those lines. Then I informed the group, we started to shoot with various cameras and styles. These are the collective results of each person’s interpretation. Thanks for taking a look :) Clare

There is certain nostalgia and romance in the process of making images with Pinhole or Plastic cameras. They are low tech, slow to use, very simple and inexpensive.
The very antithesis of digital photography, they employ no elaborate precision settings or lenses.
Utilizing either a primitive plastic lens, or in the case of pinhole cameras, no lens at all, this photography is a product of traditional darkroom and film processes.
The photographer must surrender the need for control and perfection, and exercise patience and plenty of trial and error.
The resulting images are a beautiful meeting between photographer, camera and a good measure of serendipity. They often include appealing flaws and a soft, dreamy view of our world.
