Have I mentioned my new obsession with dried fruit enough yet? Well, I just found another reason to love it–approximately twice the fiber. Yep.

Dry your fruit at home, and then you get to control the additives and chemicals. Allergic to sulfites? Use pineapple juice instead. Yum. This next call is all about the fiber. Investigate…

PAIRS

I enjoy unexpected pairings of food and wine. It never fails when I take a tentative sip of wine after a food I suspect will not compliment, I make the grimace face and am often surprised how well it works. Is it luck? Maybe I just like wine and appreciate the chance to have another glass…regardless. As I get older, I have found that artistic collaboration keeps me motivated as well. This call offers you an opportunity to produce work while still being someone else’s muse. Great idea…

SHINE ON!

It is all about local food, regardless of where local is. In South Carolina, it was boiled peanuts and mustard-based barbeque. In Tennessee, it is Ole Smoky Moonshine and free-range chicken (as in…it wanders around your neighbor’s yard). Soon for me, it will be blackberries from my backyard. Local is where YOU are. This next Call wants to know all about where YOU live. Be proud…

DROP
my biscuits

I have a deep and enduring love for biscuits. Alton Brown is in town this week for the Biscuit Festival in Knoxville, TN. I wonder if Alton considers “drop biscuits” truly biscuits. I love the sort of free formed blobs of biscuit often laden with cheddar, parsley, kosher salt and a healthy dose of garlic butter. Yum.

I plan a Kentucky Derby party each year, well, abstractly speaking. The party never actually happens, but my intentions are always good.

CALL for ENTRIES: Objects of Wonder

Posted on May 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SOOTHE ME

Black foods are not abundant, and honestly, most of them aren’t really black anyway. They are usually a dark, purplish hue, but I digress. Not surprisingly, I have a favorite amongst them. Sticky black rice with Thai custard. If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear it is spiked with sedatives. One bite and my spine is jelly. This next Call requires more than a spine of jelly, but black certainly plays a role. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Still Life:
Objects of Wonder

Still life photography is the depiction of inanimate subject matter, most typically a small grouping of objects. Still life photography more so than other types of photography gives the photographer more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition. Often still life photography is based on Dutch still life painting from the 17th century.

Still life photography is a demanding art, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with superb compositional skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them. So what is contemporary still life photography?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: June 5, 2012

NOTIFICATION: 7-10 days after the deadline

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 5 photos

JUROR: Todd Johnson is the Director of Black Box Gallery. He earned his MFA in Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. His work has been exhibited nationally in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, San Francisco and Portland Oregon. His work has been written about and reviewed in The Washington Post, The Oregonian, and online in Portland Art News. He has worked for The Portland Art Museum, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, The Art Gym at Marylhurst University, Reed College and Portland Community College. He has been an active photographer, educator and curator for over twenty years.
