WHEAT-OUT YOU

I have been on a personal voyage for the past 9 months, and there is no end in sight. My father died in December, betrayed by his body and love of food that didn’t love him back. My grandmother struggles with Alzheimer’s and the loss of both her memory and her appetite. I have been battling my health and grappling with the loss of my decades-long love affair with wheat. I can’t help but believe that it is all a voyage taking me to some unknown path that will be my future. The voyage has already spurred new art. Let the theme of this next Call take you on your own personal voyage. Don’t miss the opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for Voyages from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic regardless of distance or perspective. Take a look…

FOR YOU

Why is mint chocolate chip ice cream so often green? We know that the essential oils used to produce the mint flavor certainly doesn’t lend the color. Is it the manufacturer’s way of grabbing the attention of someone already searching for the flavor? Does green food say “mint” to you? Green foods say “grassy” or “produce” to me. There is no denying that food imagery helps determine choice, and this next Call drives home that point precisely. Can’t wait to see your entries…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Feast. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

I have such a soft spot for this gallery, and considering the theme, I really want to see one of MY BELOVED FOODIE ARTISTS take Best of Show…and all the other spots as well. Make me proud…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Feast

Feast your eyes & dig in. The taste of food photography.

From farm to table; the harvesting, preparing and plating of culinary masterpieces. Food, we eat it to survive. Yet if grown and prepared with intention, these are the dishes we savor.

Cooking can be a lot like taking a great photograph. Both lend themselves to fearless experimentation, adaptation and, ultimately, the creation of something awe-inspiring.

Photography capturing this process is something that all walks of life can connect to and be stirred by. The act of breaking bread with one another is deeply ingrained in our many traditions and ancestry.

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

Matt’s photo clients include La Brea Bakery, Target, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Coca Cola, In N Out, Pom Wonderful, Coastal Living Magazine, Time Magazine, Food + Wine, and various cookbooks.

FRIED

There are a lot of reasons not to eat fried foods on a regular basis. You’ve heard most of them: blood pressure, heart disease, vitamin deficiency. Blah, blah, blah. You already know all of the logical reasons. So, let me proffer that fried food is the culinary equivalent of institutional gray. Do you really enjoy a plate of brown and beige food that all basically tastes beige? I hate to misappropriate the Skittles slogan, but taste the rainbow people. This next Call is the best reason to appreciate gray, but walk away from the beige, folks…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Grayscale

The world is a colorful place. Despite this, photographers often choose to excise color from the world they capture. Artists working in black and white eliminate the complexities of color to accentuate form, composition, and lighting. The world desaturated is in some ways made more vivid. For Grayscale, The Kiernan gallery seeks photographs of any subject matter that use and celebrate the vibrancy of monochrome.

Luckily, no one has bothered to ever install hidden cameras in my kitchen. The images of my pretending to be Julia Child wouldn’t be great for my credibility. But, it’s what I do when attempting something in the kitchen for which I am untrained or unqualified–like de-boning a whole chicken. I make believe. It makes any resulting failure sting less. This next Call wants to know how YOU make believe…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Make Believe

Role-play, tell tall-tales, put on your brightest costume and let your imagination take the lead.

Images that captivate, tell a fantastical story. The hero vs. the monster, parallel universes co-mingling, colorful characters that drag us down a rabbit hole! Fantasy, horror, sci-fi, fairy-tale, steam-punk and renaissance inspired photographs.

Just as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein emerged from a dream, her motley creation is considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction and a great novel for the ages, Darkroom asks you to produce and capture your dreams. “The whole series of my life appeared to me as a dream; I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true, for it never presented itself to my mind with the force of reality.”― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Create your legend, weave your web and spin your yarns. Contact your inner child and dive head-first into a treasure trove of costumes. This exhibit will be on display over Halloween, so make it spooky.

His techniques apply the command of tools ranging from pen, paper, and storyboards, to strobe lighting and digital post-processing. He is an assistant professor of photography at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and a faculty member at the Maine Media Workshops.

ANTS

pants cans

My kitchen is clean-ish. Can you eat off my floors? Absolutely not. I am pretty good about cleaning as I cook so there isn’t a disaster to clean up afterward. And, crumb-y counters are my pet peeve; so I keep them wiped down. But despite my best efforts, I have an ant problem. I find a dozen or so small black ants on my kitchen counters every time I go in. I’m tempted to incorporate them into my next recipe just to send a message to the rest of their kind. This next Call could be a reason to spare their little lives, or not…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles) for A Bug’s Life. The entry fee is only $25, and the 1650 Gallery also offer free matting and framing (if you stick to their pre-set sizes). Take a closer look…

A Bug’s Life

Ah, the mysterious world of the insect. Some are cute and cuddly, like the furry caterpillar. Some are fierce and scary, wearing their skeletons on the outside to frighten us.

Nothing stretches the photographic imagination like a visit to a strange new world, but on this trip you needn’t go far to find a photo worthy subject; the wonderful world of bugs intersects and parallels our own. Like humans, bugs are everywhere! So this month, forget the cobwebs of your mind, grab your camera and your knee pads and worm your way into the nooks and crannies of the fantastic world of the creepers and the crawly!

BUMPER CAR
burgers

Eating in the car is dangerous. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve done my share of car consumption. The back floorboard of my car looks like a fast food trash can sometimes. But on my way home yesterday, I watched a young woman t-bone a truck with her compact car while munching on a burger. Her view seemed blocked by the wax paper wrapper. I’m just saying, “Be careful out there.” This next Call is another reason to keep your eyes on the street. Great show…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Eye on the Street

Street photographers are guerrilla documentarians. They capture the world as they see it, using small and forgotten moments to present a larger narrative. Themes of class, age, occupation, or background are brought to life by small stories that evoke our shared humanity.

The keen eyes of street photographers see what others take for granted, and depict the richness and variety of our public lives. For Eye on the Street, The Kiernan Gallery seeks street photography in all its forms.

CALL for ENTRIES: Color-Blind

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

POOF, NOT POP
went the corn

I usually believe in moderation in all things, but lately I’m finding myself on the extremes of all the food issues out there–from dairy to beef, wheat to sugar. It seems as though everyone has a very black and white view on what is and is not good for you. Did you every thing there would be a vegetable that you were NOT supposed to eat? Me either, but corn is apparently my new nemesis. Go figure. I try to turn a blind eye to those beautiful ears, but it would be easier if I could be selectively color blind. Trust me…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Color-Blind

The inability
to distinguish one or
more chromatic colors,
distinction of space
by the edges of
darkness and light.

Color plays an important role in how we perceive the world around us. So when you take that information away what do you get in return? Without color, other elements of the photograph take on a more distinct role in telling the story. Notice how lighting, contrast, and composition are much more important in monochromatic images.

Black & white photography is a timeless art; always relevant, always contemporary despite being so historically ancient. The juror Matthew Gamber states, “There is something about how when you photograph something in black and white, it gets locked in that time frame where it just becomes obsolete as an everyday seeing experience.”

Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop crafter, show them your love for hue-less images. They want your best black and white or alternative process photographs. Pay tribute to the origins of photography.

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

CITY FRUIT
country pumpkin

I grew up right outside of Atlanta, but I’ve never really been a city girl. I love downtown anywhere as a temporary destination, but home is always somewhere rural for me. It comes with drawbacks like a lack of ethnically diverse restaurants and markets, but it also comes with the joy of connection to your food. I know who grew my tomatoes. I know who propagated the giant basil plant in my herb garden. I know who to call when I run out of ramps. The City is intoxicating, but I’ll just stay put except for vacation if that’s okay. This next Call wants to know what draws you to the City. Great Opportunity….

CALL for ENTRIES:
City

Uptown, downtown,
urban spaces, public places
and the life
that inhabits them!

Nothing in the city is stopping, nothing is slow. There’s never a moment of silence, a moment alone. Horns honking, people talking, vendors yelling, children laughing, doors opening & doors closing. The city has a beat, a rhythm, a constant ebb & flow. Strangers brushing shoulders, lovers holding hands, catch it all in an instant. Because in an instant it will be gone.

All except the buildings. The stoic silence of these structures juxtaposes all the life. Distinct architecture, setting the scene, a beauty so quiet in a sea of so much noise. Each brick tells a story. They are characters in this play of city life.

Flower among flowers,
soft bud swooning,
opening her lovely petals,
bursting forth with life.

Blooms gladden all they espy; youthful candor and fragrance abounding! They summon romantic gestures, evoke seasonal rebirth and highlight a raw yet delicate beauty. Show us your most sensual works exploring flower power. Rapturous still life images; the bloom on the vine, the bud in the vase. Floral portraiture ever-nuanced, ever-growing. Humans bloom like flora and fauna; the girl on the cusp of womanhood, a boy breaching the threshold to manhood. Romance us with your interpretations of this tenuous beauty, these arrangements of organic sensuality.
