DESSERT
not desert,
please
I make a trip to the grocery store everyday. It isn’t my attempt to be more European or even an effort to buy as fresh as possible. No, something just comes up empty, out or missing every single day. It drives me crazy, but I should be grateful. Have you heard of food deserts? Imagine driving 1 1/2 to get to the closest grocery store. I’m going to stop whining, and you take a look at this next call for landscape photography–deserts, not food deserts, included…
Check out this Call for Entries for Mainland from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic. But this classic is challenging. Set yourself apart…

The genre of landscape photography is as varied as the earth itself. Untouched wilderness offers as much rich photographic material as manicured parks and farms. From mountains to coastlines, desert to tundra, our relationship with the land is complex and personal. For Mainland, The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs that examine the wide variety in climate, topography, and development on our planet.

JUROR: Stella Kramer is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo editor and creative strategist who works one-on-one with photographers to help them strengthen their creative eye, put together the strongest portfolios and websites that reflect their work, and set a course to reach their professional goals.
Her work involves in-depth critiques and positive encouragement, while working with photographers to tell their story, look at their work in a new way, and shape their portfolio and website to attract interest from potential clients.
Her blog, Stellazine, is about all things photography and features both commentary and interviews with photographers of all genres who discuss the creative process.
AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.
SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.
