more than ORANGE JUICE

Have I told you I was born in Florida? We lived there of and on until I was 5 years old. My most distinct food memories are from Florida. I remember accidentally dumping spaghetti on my dad’s lap because I forgot to brace the drop leaf table. I remember loving hot dogs from Dixie’s in Treasure Island and momentarily believing I was abandoned because the line had moved and I hadn’t. Spaghetti and hot dogs. Expand your range of Florida experiences with the next Call. You won’t regret it.

CALL for ENTRIES: What Remains

Posted on January 17, 2017January 17, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

mystery LUNCH

My favorite culinary masterpieces are created from the random remains of my refrigerator or pantry. This is how lunch comes to be almost every day. Left over veggies from salad or stir fry end up as spring rolls; emergency canned goods create the best vegetable soup. Because I live in a more rural location, bad weather & poor grocery planning can result in a hungry household. But a little creativity amongst the ruinous remains, turns out the most delightful surprises. This next Call wants to see what you creat from what remains. Take a look…

“”We are almost always intrigued by what is left behind, either when a disaster strikes or simply when a home (or a city) is abandoned. The theme of ruin and abandonment provides a great deal of emotional impact and the imagery produced from these places of ruin can stay with us for a long time.” –from Jody Miller via laphotocurator.com

MEDIA: Photography

CURATOR: Jody Miller spent 40 years as a designer / animator for the television industry; her profession melded beautifully with her favorite pastime. She still passionately “chases the light” and tries to present a slightly darker, edgier view of that light & the mysteries that lie therein. Miller’s portfolio is represented by Lightbox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, OR.

CALL for ENTRIES: Chromatic

asphalt APPETITE

I ate a lot of parking lot food this week. I have been on the road the entire year so far, and it snowed every single day of my travels. The roads were mostly clear, but the parking lots were a different story. So, if the grocery was clearer than the diner, they made my lunch choice takeout salad bars over greasy-spoon burgers. If the hotel’s lot hadn’t been plowed yet, it was microwaveable oatmeal instead of the local waffle purveyor. Parking lot food, like parking lot art, can do an artist/body good. This next Call from a parking authority is a perfect example. Great call…

CALL for ENTRIES: Below Zero

Posted on January 4, 2017January 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

beware the ICE

I lamented to a friend about my having to buy frozen dinners to supplement my child’s homemade options due to scheduling conflicts, and that session of whining spun off into a whole other discussion about why we quit calling them “TV dinners”. My friend optimistically believes it is because people, generally speaking eat in front of the TV less often. However, I suspect it is because we eat FROZEN meals far more commonly than just in front of the TV. I am grateful there are some better options out there. So, if you’re standing at a counter, fork in hand, eating a frozen dinner & scrolling art deadlines on your phone, use it as inspiration to consider all thing frozen for this call. Take a look…

“Hell has frozen over. The trees have lost their leaves, the sun is shining fewer and fewer hours everyday…and yet there is still immense beauty in the world.

And we may have some cold demons to exorcize. Show us what you think about this winter in all its cold, bleak wonder and possibility.” –from libertytownarts.com

BEANS of green

The women in my family have a grudge against the snap of a fresh green vegetable. My mother has canned green beans for her sisters for the last half-dozen years. Her process for canning requires a certain amount of cooking plus heat-sealing the jars which compromises the texture. But, that isn’t where the grudge match ends; my aunts cook canned green beans for hours in addition. What did green beans ever do to the women in my family? While I contemplate those answers, here’s a Call that wants to see more work by women. Take a look…

Dairy isn’t everyone’s friend. My child has struggled with it for years. He loves it far more than it loves him.

Why not for the love of dairy? This next Call wants to see all the faces of humanity, not just the dairy daze. You know how I love portraiture…
