People With Cameras
found and arranged by Charles Wray
Remember those scrapbooks full of grainy pictures that your
aunt took when she bought a new 35mm camera back in the day? Well here they are
– visual proof of ephemeral moments. This is a full color zine (with some black
& white) of images culled from the past century with just what the title
promises – people with cameras. What makes this collection work is the variety
of people, styles of photography, and curious situations that stimulate
daydreaming & reflection – who were these folks & what are their
stories? The only face I recognized was Dick Cavett – and that’s part of the
beauty of this zine – most of the photographs are shot by, and include,
everyday people who could be your neighbors or even your great-grandparents. Highly
recommended.
