The show includes images snapped on iPhones and Holga plastic cameras, and even encompasses “cameraless photography”, including cyanotypes — a process of laying things down on treated fabric or paper and exposing it to strong sunlight — and other alternative techniques.

This week the Paint Creek Center for the Arts opens a new exhibit of photography that really pushes the boundaries. The show not only includes images snapped on iPhones and Holga plastic cameras, but even encompasses “cameraless photography.” Exhibition director Mary Fortuna tells us that cameraless imagery includes cyanotypes — a process of laying things down on treated fabric or paper and exposing it to strong sunlight — and other alternative techniques. The result is a show designed to “challenge conventional ideas of what photography can be.” That’s in the main gallery; the same evening, in the first-floor gallery, is another opening of work by local artist Scott Northrup. Displays until April 5.
