The BEAUTY
of HOME

My mother makes the ugliest chocolate chip cookies.  They look like lumpy rocks, and as a teenager, I always longed for a mom that made Martha-Stewart-worthy sugar cookies decorated with colored sugar and dregees.  But alas, I got a mom that makes ugly cookie that may taste better than anything I have ever put in my mouth!  Home doesn’t always come in the pretty package you dream about, but it is still home.  BTW, the secret to my mom’s cookies is semi-sweet mini chips and walnuts instead of pecans.  This Call asks you to investigate what HOME means to you …good or bad.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Center for Fine Art Photography (Fort Collins, CO) for Home.   This is a beautiful gallery that has repeatedly shown excellent curatorial vision.  Don’t miss an opportunity to show at C4FAP!
