Old Camera by Todd McLellan

Good day, collectors! It's Sara, with an announcement full of photo geekery, gadgetry and goodness. There is of course, the Pentax-packed print you see above and the much anticipated announcement of the opening of the First Edition 2011 Hey, Hot Shot! competition. The competition opens (drumroll, please... wait for it...) TOMORROW, May 5th, 2011.

Since its inception in 2005, Hey, Hot Shot! has provided one hundred and thirty-five photographers from all over the world with unrivaled exposure, support and recognition. With a longstanding history of incredible opportunities being awarded to hundreds of artists, we encourage photographers at all stages of their careers to enter the competition. You'll be in the running for a $10,000 grand prize with countless other invaluable opportunities to be had along the way, including the chance to see your work here. Right here, on 20x200! Yesterday's gorgeous edition from the 2010 grand-prize HHS! winner, Chikara Umihara, is just one of dozens of prints we've created with photographers found through Hey, Hot Shot! and there's more to come. The competition is the only way for photographers to submit work for consideration for 20x200 editions. Sign up for the HHS! newsletter to stay up to date on the competition's opening and ongoing news.

If you fancy yourself more of a fan than a photographer, today's print Old Camera by Todd McLellan just might satisfy the shutterbug within you. This dismantled simple machine joins ranks with Todd's Old Typewriter and Old Flip Clock. Affinities for these seemingly ancient objects run deep. My very first camera was a hand-me-down, classic Pentax K1000 and I'm guessing it was the first for many of you, too. I don't take that many pictures these days but never lost my love for the medium. And I can tell you, one of the next best things to making images is supporting those who are in the thick of making work, which is exactly what you're doing when you buy prints here—supporting artists at work. Opportunities for artists and the people who love them abound!
