Unrefined Light: Image-Making with Plastic Cameras and their Friends said:
This juried exhibit is open to all two- and three-dimensional artwork that incorporates the sometimes surreal, quirky images created by plastic cameras, homemade or commercial pinhole devices, Lensbabies, Holgaroids, and all similar "toy" camera manifestations. Artists in every genre are encouraged to think "outside the box" of their primary medium and join in this exploration of the Magic of Plastic."

Michelle has been a passionate photographer since she was young, and learned her way around a camera in 1991 at the Maine Photographic Workshops, where she first discovered the Holga. Michelle book, "Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity" was published in late 2006 by Focal Press.
