TENNESSEE
TAPANADE!

Do you think I can grow olives and avocados in the Tennesse Mountains?  I realize that the climate isn’t exactly right, but there have to be hybrid versions, right?  My husband and I are working on the plans for our new home construction project, and I am obsessed with the green house.  I am determined to figure out how to grow and nurture foods from around the world so I can indulge year ’round.  This Call wants to know what YOUR vision of the natural world includes.  Feel free to venture past just food…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called Four Corners of the Earth. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

* Editor’s Note: You guys always knock it out of the park with this gallery. Please make sure that you tell them that you found the show on Art & Art Deadlines so they know that all the talent is here at AAAD.

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Four Corners
of the Earth

There is boundless beauty in our natural environment, from the intimate view of a blade of grass to the vast panoramic horizon.  We need only show up with our cameras!  How do we translate our personal visions of the natural world, through our photographic tools, and then to our audience?

Each of our relationships to nature is highly personal – they want to see yours.  From the tonal depths of an Ansel Adams expansive environment, to the quiet pictorial gestures of an Edward Steichen moment, to contemporary masters’ views, such as our Juror George DeWolfe, who’s contemplative designs on natural beauty insight envy and inspiration. 

They are looking for the kind of variety that is in nature herself.  Sky’s the limit using contemporary methods, photographic paraphernalia, and a limitless bag of tricks, so whether your landscapes display a traditional approach, leave them questioning reality, or all that is in between, they can’t wait to see your version of this heaven we call Earth.

JUROR: George DeWolfe has been photographing since 1964.  He studied with Ansel Adams and Minor White in the 1970’s and holds an MFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology. DeWolfe is widely published, most notably At Home In The Wild, George DeWolfe’s Digital Photography Fine Print Workshop and B&W Printing – each has received wide acclaim.  His work has been seen in over fifty one-man exhibitions and is part of several permanent collections. 

Currently a consultant to Epson, Adobe, Hahnemühle, X-rite, and Nik, George is one of the original 15 photographers on the Adobe Lightroom team, and developed Optipix and PercepTool, both Adobe Photoshop plug-ins.  He teaches “The Digital Fine Print Workshop”, “B&W Master Print”, and “Contemplative Photography” throughout the United States.  Winner of numerous awards, his most recent honor was Award for Artistic Excellence presented by The National Park Service.  DeWolfe has photographed for many environmental organizations over the past 40 years: Appalachian Mountain Club, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, Mass Audubon, National Park Service, and Friends of Acadia..
