For those in Southern California, there is a plastic camera show titled
"Toy Stories: Narratives From Plastic Cameras" on exhibit at Orange County
Center for Contemporary Art. Was reviewed by ArtScene and the html version
can be read at:

This photography exhibit was extended an extra month and will be taken down
on January 16. A few platinum prints by one of the photographers. Name
recall is bad this AM, so I can't remember her name. It also includes video
work done on the low tech Fisher Price PXL 200 video camera.
