So I was watching a “hot dish” competition on Bizarre Foods America the other day.  (A “hot dish” competition is sort of like a casserole contest.)   This particular contest was being held in a mid-western town’s VFW or American Legion Hall.  Many of the contestants sported beehive hairdos, mom jeans and gingham aprons.  Then out of nowhere, a woman in Bermuda shorts whipped out a BLOW TORCH to brown the top of her tater tot casserole like it was creme brulée–proof positive that culinary technology and techniques have made it to every fishbowl, no matter how small.  This next Call wants to see your techy stuff on a tiny scale or large, your choice.  How big is your fishbowl?

Macro/Micro:
Photographic Extremes

 

This exhibit is about two photographic extremes, regardless of what you call them: Micro Photography (AKA Macro Photography) and Macrophotography (AKA Wide Angle Photography).  The Darkroom Gallery wants to see your best work using these photographic tools.

Look it up, Macro (from Greek prefix “makros-” meaning “large”). Most sciences or areas of study use this prefix as defined.  Macroeconomics, for example: “dealing with the behavior of the whole economy”. Microeconomics: “study of the behavior of small economic units, such as that of individual consumers, opposite of macroeconomics”. So what happened with Photography?  Commonly, photographers call images of things small and extreme closeups, Macro Photography.

Artwork by Shawn Tucker!What then is Microphotography? Interestingly, Nikon uses the term Micro for it’s close focusing lenses, but not Canon.  So, even the manufacturers don’t agree.

Microphotography reveals a world unseen by the naked eye. It often exposes patterns and designs that create sublime abstract images. Macrophotography gathers a view often larger and grander than can be gathered with the human eye. Both introduce distortions either through lens characteristics or stitching construction techniques that are creative tools used to produce these distinctive images.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

The Surrealist Influence
on Contemporary Photography

Learn more about The Surrealist Influence show in Austin at The Hideout Theatre!“Surrealism started out as a philosophical movement in the 1920s.  The Manifesto, written by André Breton laid out the goals of the surrealist group which was comprised of writers, philosophers and artists.  Freud was a huge influence on the movement with his practice of interpreting the meaning of dreams.  That idea played out visually amongst the group which left us with rich visual oddities from artists such as Dali, Magritte, Ernst, Miro and Man Ray.   

“I feel the surrealist artists impacted my own methods of creating, and encouraged me to look within to find a deeper significance with my art.  Now  I am looking for other photographers who have followed a similar path and others who have felt a kindred connection to the surrealist artists or movement.” –Lanie McCormick, Curator
