As the speed at which we*** make and consume images continues to increase, paper cameras press offers tools for making looking a tactile activity. These tools invite us to slow down our observation, consider the social and material conditions of image-making, and develop thoughtful practices in photography and related lens-based mediums. paper cameras press seeks to support practices of observation that nourish our relationships with one another, rather than extract from them.
