link to vice article: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/gyjbgy/we-gave-11-musicians-disposable-cameras-they-gave-us-these-photos-v24n8. I really enjoy how each person got to experiment with a disposable camera. Each image adds to the collective story.

The artist uses cheap and disosable cameras to photograph people or scenes, and then later, takes another picture of flowers or clouds to overlay over the first image. Good with conveying changes over time.

The artist, fasinatied by dragonflies went around the US and Europe to take pictures of the different stages of life. I think the up close and details of his photos could be used in our project.

I like his work because of the way he uses human figures to create something almost surreal.

i choose this artist based solely on aesthetics, especially the way he frames his shots.

I enjoy the use of disposable cameras to display emotion through color and light. These techniques can be used in our projects to emphasize change.

I enjoy this photographer because she explain in detail how to take difficult pictures. We could use this resource to explore the options photography in IA

This photo was taken on a disposable camera by photographer Lauren Austin, and is titled "Howling at the Trees." She says she used this medium as a way to focus less on details or technique and instead simply take a "snapshot" of the moment.

This photographer took photos during her time visiting a butterfly garden. I particularly like this photo of a caterpillar eating for the same reason I like the other photo I posted; it's candid, it's real. You capture the process as it happens as opposed to focusing on the end product.

John Hallmén is known for his photography of insects. They are extremely detailed close ups. Making the insects that we rarely look at up close like aliens.

Have you seen this camera?

Because if you have, you might be part of an art installation made by a team of hundreds.

Max Hart Barnwell is a Montreal-based photographer, and since 2016, he's been leading a project that he calls Take a Picture.

"I'm always taking pictures of what's happening around me," says Barnwell. But to give himself a break from his street-photography habit, he didn't put the camera down - he just passed it off to a few hundred strangers.

Barnwell rounded up a bunch of those disposable film cameras your cousin probably had at their wedding in 2001 and started leaving them around the city.

"I wanted to see what would happen if I left the camera in the hands of an unknown public," he says, "and to my great surprise, it was really positive."

What they decide to capture is really beautiful. - Max Hart Barnwell, photographer

Plenty of similar social experiments have come before. There's Katie O'Byrne's New York Shots, where she dropped cameras in NYC parks before expanding to Tokyo, Berlin, Sydney, Stockholm and beyond; in Toronto, there was Matt Greenwood's Take a Picture, Don't Steal. This Tumblr blog, the Snapshot Project, features anonymous pics of Montreal.

But for Toronto's The Artist Project art fair, Barnwell's created a show that's specific to the city at this moment in time. And while he's shared a few previews on Instagram, the full project can only be seen IRL.

Over the last three weekends, Barnwell strung cameras on trees and signposts and whatever else will hold the weight of a Fujifilm QuickSnap, leaving them in more than a dozen scenic locations across the city, from Trinity-Bellwoods Park to the Woodbine Beach boardwalk.

The cameras stay in the wild somewhere between 12-24 hours before Barnwell rounds them up and develops the results.

Every photo - even if they're blurry and/or overexposed - is included in the installation appearing at his fair booth to Feb. 25.

"It's really about showing every single image that was taken, good or bad," he says. "I feel like because other people took these pictures, I don't really have that kind of authority to do a selection process." A total of 480 glossy, 4x6 snapshots make up the finished piece.

"How people interact with the camera is really interesting," says Barnwell.

Selfies are big. The same goes for pictures of dogs.

But the results are almost always as joyful as they are mysterious. Says Barnwell: "What they decide to capture is really beautiful."

Rob did an experiment where he photographs strictly with disposable cameras to see how much he could get it to look like the photo was taken with a professional camera. This picture is called Letting The Light Do The Heavy Lifting.

"It was fun to not align myself with looking at the image," Burkard adds. "I never even had the film when it was developed. I gave the camera back and they showed me the pictures a few months later. It was like a Christmas present. I had that nostalgic feeling that I hadn't had in a long time."

Super cool paper sculptures by Joop Bource. I'm not sure how we're planning to convey "insects" but we obviously can't train bugs to be actors and models-- although that would be impressive. Something like this would be really interesting to do, kind of a throw back to our pop-up book idea for last year's IA.
