CALL for ENTRIES: Jealous

Posted on September 24, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

HOOPS

I have plastic envy. Hoop houses are sprouting up all over town as pre-planning for chances of upcoming frost. Last year our first snow came in October. Locally lots of folks protect their late Summer plantings from possible early frost while also giving them space to start seedlings in colder weather. Once the ground is frozen, installation becomes a much more complicated project. My house hangs on the side of a mountain. The only flat space I have for a hoop house is my gravel driveway, ha. Jealous of plastic –never thought I’d have that problem. This next Call will hopefully make you the object of the jealous. Take a look…

CHOCOLATE
choo choo

The sight of a train trestle always conjures my cravings for hot chocolate. My entire life has been spent in residence within about a half-mile of railroad road tracks. I loved sitting on my front porch in the Fall with a cup of hot chocolate and listen to the trains pass. That all ended when I moved to Gatlinburg. Now my cravings for hot chocolate come about through all the standard means–a chill in the air, holiday decorations, a simple sweet tooth. But, today I found merely the name of the gallery in this next Call sent me in search of cocoa in my cabinet. This is a wonderful opportunity, don’t miss it…

Rats, when tested, will develop cancer. Have you heard that satirical proverb? I believe it is/was meant to be a comment on the number of carcinogens identified by animal testing.

PEPPERS

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter.

Curvilinear

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus. Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly. It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature. Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com

NO LEMON
in my coffee, please

I haven’t been to Rhode Island in years. The Ocean State is famous for a lot of foods like the delight that is the delicate version of calamari. But, I can’t resist a couple of beverages that call Rhode Island home–frozen lemonade from Del’s® and cabinets. Cabinets are a coffee drink or milkshake-like treat made from coffee ice cream, coffee syrup and milk. They aren’t easy to find, but they ARE worth the search. This next Call might be willing to accept coffee prints in honor of sharing its home with the iconic drink. Either way, they are both worth a second look…
