Alternative Works. Alternative Spaces.  

Photographers Matt Larson and Rebecca Sexton Larson, co- founders of Boxfotos, launched a new adventure at their 3rd annual Open Studio held several weeks ago, the “Boxfotos Airstream.” The Airstream will serve as their home away from home for location and travel shoots, their moving gallery and studio, office and classroom.

The Larsons began looking for a gallery space in Tampa; Charleston, SC; then Berea and Louisville, KY, but instead ended up with a 23-foot, 2008 International Flying Cloud Airstream. Matt explained,“We just couldn’t find an affordable building for a living and gallery space and soon realized we could have all our favorite cities as our home towns if we had a moving space.”

Back in 2011, the husband and wife photographers built their website Boxfotos.com (originally as a blog) and announced they would soon be the Boxfotos Airstream gallery and shooting studio. The idea caught a lot buzz from friends, collectors and art organizations that they realized it was time to buy the Airstream. “It was one of those cases where we acted as if we were up and running in the Airstream, but we hadn’t even bought it yet,” Matt Larson. “Once we started getting requests to bring it to various cities, we knew we were onto something special.” The art couple plan to teach photography (historical processes) on location, offer portfolio reviews, travel and exhibit their works of art out of the Boxfotos Airstream.

New Darkroom

Thanks to a grant from the Arts Council of Hillsborough County, Matt was able to convert our darkroom to be more efficent and designed for wet plate collodion work. The official unveiling and Open Studio will be Saturday, July 27th - so save the date! This makes up for the Open Studio we had to cancel last December...most folks know why.

In the mean time.. I am printing new prints for the studio. Hope everyone has a restful and happy Memorial Day weekend! Go out and take pictures....Rebecca
