In Bloom

 

Flower among flowers,
soft bud swooning,
opening her lovely petals,
bursting forth with life.

 

Blooms gladden all they espy; youthful candor and fragrance abounding!  They summon romantic gestures, evoke seasonal rebirth and highlight a raw yet delicate beauty.  Show us your most sensual works exploring flower power.  Rapturous still life images; the bloom on the vine, the bud in the vase.  Floral portraiture ever-nuanced, ever-growing. Humans bloom like flora and fauna; the girl on the cusp of womanhood, a boy breaching the threshold to manhood. Romance us with your interpretations of this tenuous beauty, these arrangements of organic sensuality.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

I learned my love of eating from my family, but I learned my love of food from experience far outside my family dynamic.  You can’t choose your family as a child, and my family loved fried chicken and collard greens.  I love fried chicken, too. You can keep the collards, thanks.  But, I was simply never happy accepting the limited palate of “Southern” home-style cooking.  I still want to try everything.  That’s just who I am.  This next Call is all about your family.  Don’t miss this chance…

I spent YEARS disguising food both visually and by name.  Spinach quiche spent years as “egg pie.”  I’ve hidden zucchini in spaghetti sauce, and carrots, onion and celery in virtually everything.  I am pleased that I can now look at my kid and say, “Yes, those are beets.”  But, the years of trickery served a purpose; he’ll give anything a try now that his palate has been trained to prove his eyes wrong.  This next Call is all about tricking the eye.  Great theme…

Magic that is channeled
in a single shot,
a recalibration of reality,
be the clever and cunning
illusionist behind the lens.

 

Optical illusions conjured by a variance of processes; from physically meticulous studio setups, to spontaneously captured works of luck, and ones hugely composed in post. Manipulate our perceptions with flourish. Deal with foreshortening, vanishing points, sandwiching negatives or the unique mash up of subjects.  Employ sleight of hand use of color and composition that begs us to ask the question,”How ever did they do that?”

I’ve never cared for drinking water.  I know, I know.  Shame and guilt.  I drink unsweetened decaffeinated iced tea by the gallon.  But somewhere along the way I noticed a few wrinkles and sags in my face.  Shortly thereafter I tripped across an article extolling the wonders that drinking water promises for your skin.  It was hard, but I stuck with it hoping for miraculous results.  Now I regularly crave water in addition to all the tea that I still drink.  Of course, it made no noticeable difference in my skin, but it IS proof that I am not immune to the vanity that rears its ugly head as we age.  This next Call is all about skin.  I love this theme…

Have you ever lost your taste for something?  I used to absolutely love sardines as a kid.  My grandmother would make my uncle Darryl and I sit on the back step outside the back door of the kitchen to eat them.  But, over the years, I fell out of love with them.  I don’t hate them.  I remember the buttery melt-in-your-mouth texture contrasted with the crunchy saltiness of the Saltines, their constant companion.  Maybe it is time to find a can of my old friend sardines again.  This next Call is all about lost & found.  Don’t miss this opportunity…

To happen upon something
forgotten, forsaken; to find
what was once lost.

Photography eliciting scenes or subjects that meant something to someone long ago or in the recent past.  Foraging in a far away land, or even in your own backyard and uncovering the unexpected. We are looking for photographs that embody this murky realm of faded glory; haunting happenstance, and beauty found in the details dropped by a stranger on the street. Capture those ancient treasures tucked away from plain sight; the handiwork of a craftsman now far away, but re-imagined, and re-discovered by your lens.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!In light of recent events, we are all feeling a communal sense of loss.  We see that, like material things, people can be lost, sometimes tragically.  They can be misplaced, or forgotten–lost souls, the invisible humans in our midst.  Bring these subjects into the light, show the Darkroom Gallery what was lost and you have found.

His work has been published in several books, and a retrospective collection of his finest landscape photographs was published by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Co, in 1997, entitled Landscapes of the Spirit. Several periodicals have published his images, and Neill writes a monthly column “On Landscape”, for Outdoor Photographer magazine. Neill’s corporate clients include: Sony Japan, Bayer Corporation, Canon USA, Nike, Nikon, The Nature Company, and Sony Music/Classical.

Perhaps most important to the task of jurying Rare Earth, is Neill’s extensive experience in close observation of others’ work – he has been an instructor of photography for 32 years.

Package design truly affects my food purchases.  From clusters of naturally adorable clementines in a little wooden crate to the little pink pig on my favorite Brown Mix, No Pudge Fudge.  Note: These are the best brownies I have EVER eaten in my life.  My family is addicted, and I appreciate that just calls for yogurt–we prefer to use Greek yogurt with a little extra vanilla.  I’m not certain if my background in graphic design makes MORE or LESS susceptible.  This next Call is all about Design.  You’ve got the eye; now it is your turn to show it off!

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Photography by Design. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. The jury method for this one is a change from the norm with TWO jurors EACH choosing a winner. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

Photography by Design

 

There are principles of good design that when used properly, will make a good image much better, and a great image dynamite.  With an understanding of how to apply these principles in making your images, you’ve got a excellent chance at elevating even dull subject matter to visually enticing, and in some instances, simply persuasive.

Does your image use point, line, color, form or shape, space, texture, and/or pattern to effectively communicate your intent?  Does the image portray a sense of unity, balance, proportion, rhythm/repetition/similarity, hierarchy/dominance/emphasis/figure to ground.  Let’s also add a few of the gestalt principles into the mix:  Closure (our tendency to see and assume something which is not technically there/to fill in the missing pieces), Continuance (our tendency to follow a visual or suggested path), and Proximity (the two-dimensional relationship of objects to each other within the frame).  If you have images that clearly illustrate one or several of the above mentioned elements and/or principles of design, they would love to see them.

JUROR: Joe Baraban has been photographing since the age of 24, where he took a job as a Medical Photographer at the Methodist Hospital in Houston (there aren’t many of us who can brag about a field entry like that!) . He became Freelance soon thereafter, and over the next forty years built a commercial portfolio including work for clients from Coca Cola to Hennessy, Cessna to Boeing, and IBM to Microsoft.  His resume also includes most of the Fortune 500 companies.  He has photographed the full line automotive brochures for Acura, Saturn, and Range Rover, not to mention campaigns for Jaguar, Ford, Toyota.  Although he’s rather famous in the auto industry, you’ll see his work spans portraiture, travel, industrial, and general commercial with a visual voice clearly seated in eye-popping design.
