Michael Borek in San Francisco Examiner

Michael Borek was a featured artist at RayKo's International Juried Plastic Camera Show in San Francisco. Here is the excerpt from the review of the show in San Francisco Examiner:

The Holga is the camera of choice for Michael Borek, the RayKo exhibit’s featured artist, who grew up photographing Prague, his hometown, under Communist reign.

He writes, “I and my fellow citizens lacked basic freedoms and lived in newly created, cheerless urban landscapes.” With his camera, he found the unsung spots of beauty in this environment.

When Borek moved to the United States in 1992 (he lives in Maryland now), he had no trouble finding vast tracts of similarly lifeless design in America’s suburbs and strip malls. He notices sumptuous colors in barren places, and, looking through the Holga’s romance-inducing lens, captures the visual poetry buried within something as plain as an old curtain.

Borek’s quiet, self-assured images are helped along by his trust in an unpredictable plastic lens, the kind of thing that lets photographers abandon their perfectionism.
