PASS THE
CHOPSTICKS

Have I mentioned I love a theme lately?  One of my favorite themed food days at our house is the day we have Chinese chicken salad for lunch, Eggroll pizza for dinner and rice pudding for dessert.  We even have special little blue and white Chinese patterned dishes, complete with porcelain turtle bowls for dipping sauces, for the occasion. 

Granted, my idea of a theme may not be your idea of a theme, but this next call allows you to interpret the idea of a theme any way you choose.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado for Center Forward 2011.  The theme is open, and the entry fee can be as low as $15.  Just take a deep breath, believe in your work and take a chance…
