Review :
"The annual Curious Camera Pinhole and Plastic Camera Competition, conducted in April the last two years, attracted many Arizona entries, including some honorable mentions from Flagstaff, but also drew a global audience. One of the judges was Michelle Bates, a Seattle photographer who has been shooting with Holgas since 1991.. Her 2007 book, 'Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity,' is a primary reference for photographers toying with the plastic camera."--Arizona Daily Sun
