REMINDER:
PEARLS
of wisdom

I have a long-standing addiction to pasta. More accurately, I am addicted to that slightly drowsy, completely relaxed feeling I have when I finish a beautiful Italian meal. My friends have been trying to get me to read Wheat Belly, but I’ve resisted for fear that I would end up having to give up my favorite pasta, whole wheat couscous. I cannot bear the thought. So, this next Call comes from San Francisco which has nothing to do with couscous, but the last time I made a Rice-A-Roni segue, I got email for weeks. So, my stream of consciousness led me to couscous. I know, random. Regardless, don’t miss this next Call…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Photographica (San Francisco, CA) for the San Francisco International Photography Exhibition to be held at Studio 17 Gallery. The entry fee can be as low as $25; the juror is excellent, and the prizes are great. This one might be perfect for you!

CALL for ENTRIES: 8×8 Photo Party

Posted on April 16, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

3 INGREDIENTS
or less

I like simple foods. As I get older, I cook and eat fewer and fewer complicated recipes and foods. I have come to appreciate the individual flavors of foods. Dinner at my house is frequently a small cut of beef, chicken or fish with two oven roasted veggies on the side. Simple. Fewer and fewer sauces. But, then again, I prefer simplicity in a lot of ways. I rarely even wear prints unless they are simple geometrics. This next call makes a geometric impact for a great end look and mission. Please give this opportunity some serious thought…

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals

Posted on April 15, 2013April 15, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CRUNCH
not mush

Even my animals have very specific food likes and dislikes. One of my pups, Pepper, a 7 year old Lab/German Shepard mix loves crunchy veggies. She will beg for carrots, broccoli stalks and potatoes like she is dying of starvation. White grapes are the ultimate treat. However, a chunk of banana will be spit back out at my feet within mere seconds. I have created a monster of sorts, I suppose. Animals. Gotta love the personality. This next Call wants to see how you capture the personality of the animals around you. Take a look…

CHICKEN

chicken

I learned my love of eating from my family, but I learned my love of food from experience far outside my family dynamic. You can’t choose your family as a child, and my family loved fried chicken and collard greens. I love fried chicken, too. You can keep the collards, thanks. But, I was simply never happy accepting the limited palate of “Southern” home-style cooking. I still want to try everything. That’s just who I am. This next Call is all about your family. Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: 8th Annual Morpho

Posted on March 18, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

PO-TAY-TOH
pa-tah-toh

I am intrigued by flavor combinations in even the simplest foods. Fresh mozzarella is transformed by a little basil and balsamic vinegar. And benign red potatoes morph into the ultimate comfort food with a little smash and a clove of garlic. Sometimes it isn’t about the right food, but the right combination of foods This next gallery is all about supporting artists that are in the process of emerging, morphing if-you-will, into a new a new version of themselves in the arts community. Maybe you and this gallery will be the perfect combination…

AND THE CHEESE
stands alone

Nothing can compare to hand-crafted cheeses. Whether is is fresh-pulled mozzarella or organic, farm fresh goat cheese, there is simply nothing in the world like it. The craft, although not frequently practiced, has vastly improved in the past 20 years while other big box manufacturers are creating more and more automated processes. This next Call is sort of the photography equivalent of hand-crafted cheese. Is this one for you?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Alive & Well

“There is a growing misconception that traditional analog photography is dying. I’m not referring to alternative process, either. I am talking SILVER GELATIN. Remember when you were little and you would see in the movies or on TV, that guy in his little red lit room, with pieces of paper hanging on lines and trays of weird liquids. My favorite was the little tongs, like gently saving something fragile from drowning in a sea of chemistry.

“Or, recall the first thrill of watching an image appear on a blank sheet of paper, soaked in that secret solution that brought the image to life as if it had been drawn with magic ink, and you alone knew the spell to free it. Oh no, traditional photography is far from dying, in fact, silver gelatin has seen very interesting things happen to it, perhaps spurred on by the sense of freedom and experimentation motivated by the rebirth of historic process.” — from brassandbellows.com

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: chemigrams, lumen prints, pinholes, lith prints, straight forward B&W prints, solarography, or paper negatives (or prints from paper negs). Any subject matter is acceptable, as long as the majority of the final image in produced using silver gelatin emulsion.

DEADLINE: April 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: 10 days after deadline

ENTRY FEE: Pay what you can. Editor’s Note: I cannot express how rare this is.

AWARDS: The gallery director will select 30 – 40 images to be included in the show.

SALES: Brass & Bellows will retain 20% commission.
