SPEAK TO ME
I wish food could talk. Wouldn’t you like to know why one grape in a cluster is sweet and juicy and the next elicits the “pucker” face? Me too. I want to know why some pineapples ripen on my counter in a day or two and the next pineapple stubbornly refuses. I think they would tell me if they could. This next Call suggests the photographer visually interrogate their subject. Look out avocados, you’re on my short list…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Mpls Photo Center in Minneapolis, MN for Where in the World? People, Places and Events. Enter up to 5 photos for $35 and have your work juried by a world-class juror. Take a look…
CALL for ENTRIES:
Where in the World?
Photography likes to break out of the studio and inhabit the world. Few things artists do are as immediately engaged with the dynamics of life and the environment as photography. Cameras have been on the bottom of the ocean and on the surface of the moon. They’ve seen everything, from weddings to wars, and they’ve augmented almost every attempt to understand life and our place in it. Where in the World: People, Places and Events will bring together a diverse group of photographers that interrogate the individuals, environments, and actions that comprise our universe.
