I try not to eat boxed food.  During some previous food sermon, I’m sure I have expounded on my quest for a diet comprised of whole foods, locally sourced and preferably organic.  But, I fall short–everyday.  I do the best I can as I am sure you do, but convenience foods are aptly named.  Sometimes convenience in necessary.  GF pasta and flour are not items I am willing to tackle as whole foods projects at this point.  This next Call is an excellent reason to get our of your artistic box.  Take a look…

and curious

Food deprivation is not new to me.  In the South, women are born dieters, as was I for half my years.  I no longer participate, opting for whole foods and a healthier self image. But, I was still dumbfounded when I read a study that proposes eating from a red dish, as opposed to the white ones I currently use, might result in smaller consumption.  Human beings are a curious sort aren’t we?  Maybe it is the association with stop signs and traffic lights.  Who knows? This next Call is curious in its own way, and leaves room for you to stretch your talents.  Don’t assume; investigate instead…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artseye Gallery (Tuscon, AZ) for Curious Camera.  A photo show with great categories, and only $10 to enter. PLEASE don’t discount this show if you are NOT a photographer.  Take a look first…
