Nope, especially when you check out “Wings” by Mark Lipczynski. The solo photography exhibit at Practical Art saw the commercial and editorial image-maker rummaging through his refrigerator for out-of-date film, spooling said film into toy and antique cameras, and shooting away. The result is a collection of soft focused and surrealistic works that folks are responding to; five prints were sold before the show even opened. The show’s M.O. illustrates that you don’t need a trillion gig memory card and a fancy digital preview scene to create stunning shots. As Lipczynski says, “The best things in life come on the periphery of intended consequences.”
