The Krappy Kamera concept was born in 1992 at the Soho Photo Gallery® during a regular monthly opening reception when a few members admitted they preferred using their junky cameras to their high-end ones. One of the members, Sandra Carrion, proposed organizing an exhibit opportunity for other gallery members and the rest is history: we've held the members Krappy Kamera exhibition every year since then.
Now in its twelfth year, Krappy Kamera® has been increasingly successful as measured by larger numbers of entries and increased publicity. Also of note is the high quality of work submitted, understandable since Krappy Kamera® users tend to be photographers who have already mastered the medium using the more complex cameras that dominate the market today.
