The Big Camera!
In collaboration with Donna Moore, John Allen and Anna Lawrence, The Big Camera! is an ongoing project: a modified enclosed cargo trailer that functions as an extra large format camera (6' x 10' to be precise) as well as a portable classroom and community outreach vehicle for the Knoxville Community Darkroom and A1 LabArts. The Big Camera! was made possible through the Bailey Opportunity Grant. The Big Camera! has taught classes or demonstrated photography in local art centers, schools and other community programs including botanical gardens and the Community Law Center's programs for youth.
The Big Camera! is intended to share the magic of photography though making its principles hands-on, allowing the discipline to come alive in a new way for many who encounter it. The Big Camera's form is a throwback to historical ways of working in older photo techniques, which often required on-site processing in vehicles such as wagons. Look out for the Big Camera! on the road...
