Finger In Your Eye: Vintage 'Mistake' Snapshots

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 17:25:53 -0600

We have all done it -- snapped the picture only to realize our finger was in front of the lens! These photos are usually considered mistakes and tossed aside. This exhibition features anonymous found photos showing the photographer's finger accidentally becoming a subject in the photo. The finger(s) make us aware of the photographer's presence and if you look beyond the 'accident' an interesting and mysterious composition emerges.

Exhibition is available for sale (as a series). Price available upon request.
