SILVER SPOON
needed

I am simply gobsmacked by food trends.  I’ll admit, I’ve eaten a silver dragee or two (those little silver balls on cupcakes), but really…does my pretzel need to be silver?  Does my apple need to be gold?  Utterly astounding to me, but hey, who am I to judge.  If you want silver pretzels, Esslack food color from the Deli Garage is the tool for you.  This next Call will only put your WORK in the Silver.  Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Silver Eye Center for Photography (Pittsburgh, PA) for the Fellowship 13 International Photography Competition.  The entry fee is a little higher than what we usually publish, but the opportunity is spectacular.  Take a look…
