I dislike the lack of spontaneity involved in home-cooking. I am fairly certain that I am not the only one that thinks Pastitsio (one of my favorite Greek dishes) is a weekends-only meal.  What I really need is one of those Star Trek food replicators.  Oops.  Did I just unfurl my geek flag?  Oh Well.  At least we can count on this next show to be spontaneous. Investigate…

Spontaneous

 

Spontaneity is the hallmark for great documentary and street photography where the moments of life, often ironic, poignant, emotionally charged, tragic or absurd are frozen.

Photography provides the means to capture a moment but which moment makes all the difference. Well known masters include Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith with recent discoveries such as Vivian Maier and Frank Oscar Larson adding to a long list of great photographers.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!

Many of the scenes captured by practitioners of this art, with the possible exception of war and extreme sports documentary, pass before us every day, but we do not see.

This exhibit is dedicated to those who strive to see, realize and then manifest vision and moment into an image so that we can all see what is right in front of us or inaccessible in some other way.  Showing us the remarkable moments that make up the, often unconscious, Human Experience.

I read alot of facebook posts slamming folks that post cell phone pics of their food.  Sorry, I do it too.  See my Cayman Islands lunch pictured left.  Be patient with the food-obsessed; we’re people too.  Our exaggerated sense of self-importance has us convinced that you will be so happy for us when you see our latest creation or out-to-eat treat.  I am certain there is a diagnosis out there that I haven’t heard of.  Be kind.  This next show might be willing to take some of those food pics off our hands, though.  Whatcha think?

For iSpy: Camera Phone Photography, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images taken with cell phones that span all genres of photography.

ELIGIBILITY: Photographers of all skill levels and nationalities may participate.

The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value…“Ansel Adams, The Camera

A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.” Edward Steichen

These two masters enriched the history of photography by being some of the first to experiment with new technologies in a relatively new art medium. They were also traditionalists and truly embraced manual and old photography processes. The hundred and fifty photographers from Steichen’s world is millions today, and finding “as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made” is no longer as simple.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!Digital cameras and editing software have transformed the medium and opened up whole new worlds for the 21st century photographer. We have dozens of “apps” that help us tweak a digital image to “perfection” in minutes. A vast repertoire of image resources we look to for inspiration and meaning still brings us to the same point of reflection as photographers of the early 20th century: what is the art of photography?

Black and white photography, a genre that many would claim made them fall in love with image-making in the first place, has remained completely relevant and contemporary despite it’s ancient roots. It is timeless, sometimes soft, sometimes dramatic and brings new perspective to images and image making. Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop craftperson, show us your love for hue-less images. The Darkroom Galllery wants to see YOUR best black and white or alternative process images for an exhibit that will pay tribute to the origins of photography and praise it’s development.

A little girl recently asked me how I could tell which food was good for me just by looking at it. (Yes, I really do talk about food all day.)  I spent a few minutes explaining that you could tell that some foods are good for you because they are deeply or brightly colored, like broccoli, swiss chard and carrots.  Without missing a beat she said, “I’m glad to know I don’t have to give up jelly beans,” and she promptly turned and left.  Perfect.  This next show is proves color can be good for you.  Take a look…
