SILVER
and gold

I love the crispy, silvery skin of pan-sauteed salmon filets. I’ve always thought of it as one of the healthy excuses for the consumption of my favorite fatty fishes. Turns out the silvery skin contains concentrated amounts of whatever contaminates existed in the water from which they were caught.  Ugh.  Apparently all that glitters is not gold–or silver.  This next Call is definitely an exception to the all-that-glitters rule.  Don’t miss it…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Silver Eye Center for Photography (Pittsburgh, PA) for the Fellowship 14 International Photography Competition. The entry fee is a little lower than last year, and the opportunity is still spectacular. Take a look…
