Having been away from photography for many years, during the digital revolution, Peter Schafer was attracted back to making photographs a couple years ago when he came upon the work of photographers using toy cameras. Because of its technical limitations in controlling aperture and shutter speed, the Diana toy camera taught him to appreciate approximated settings with their unexpected results and, importantly for much of his work, exploit the blur of long hand-held exposures. Now that he's ventured back into black & white film and quality optics with an old Leica late last year, some of that has carried over. Even with a Leica, the images can have the uncertainty and movement evocative of a dream. Much of his work can be seen here: http://hookstrapped.viewbook.com/ Speak Onion is an experimental electronic music producer based in
