LINING UP
for dinner
As linear foods go, I make a mean grilled eggplant lasagna. I don’t usually fall for the layered foods like 7-layer dips and trifles, but lasagna is the exception. Most people are replacing the meat when they use eggplant in lasagna, I’m really replacing the noodles. While I can find wheat-less pasta of most types, lasagna noodles have eluded me. So, eggplant makes a gorgeous replacement. I make it in a glass plan just to get the composition perfect. Ridiculous. This next Call is a far better use of a line obsession. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Lines. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. And the theme leaves lots of room for interpretation. Take a look…
CALL for ENTRIES:
Lines
Lines are powerful compositional elements that control the way eyes move through an image. The effect that lines have on an image varies. Horizontal lines convey a sense of width, stability, calm, lazy, security, relaxation, constancy and timelessness. Whereas vertical lines convey a sense of strength, height, integrity, solidity, dominance, power, peace & tranquility, substance or permanence. This Call is for images that utilize lines in innovative and dynamic ways. — from darkroomgallery.com
