Curvilinear

 

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus.  Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly.  It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature.  Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com

“In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.” –Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

Work by Juror George Awde!CALL for ENTRIES: XY

Photographs of the strengths and virtues of masculinity coupled with the Achilles’ heel of meeting these stereotypes.

Do all men have power? Do all men want power? Is masculinity the same in every culture and time period? Does the performance of masculinity depend on the categories of race, class, and sexuality? The answer to the first three questions is a resounding no, while the answer both to the fourth one is a clear yes.

Darkroom Gallery is calling for photographs that explore the field of cultural, social, historical, political, psychological, economic, and artistic constructions of masculinity.  What makes something or someone “male”?  These definitions change with communities across the world and throughout history. There is a tense and complex relationship between hegemonic masculinities & subordinate masculinities.  Throughout history, men have paid a steep price for not adhering to, or consciously resisting, stereotypical masculine models.  Let’s remember sex and gender are separate entities.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!Wanted are images interrogating these male ideals: photographs of warriors, fathers, of wimps and muscle men. Little boys can be “snakes and snails and puppy dog tails” but they can also love the color pink. Inanimate objects can imply such meanings. In the wake of patriarchal fanfare show us the vulnerability, gentleness and supple subtleties behind what is means to inhibit/exhibit being “male”. — from darkroomgallery.com

I am addicted to salt.  I am.  I’ve given up most vices, but salt is here to stay.  I have unnaturally low blood pressure (70/50), and my doctor suspects that is WHY I crave salt.  So what does one do when faced with a salt addiction?  Become a salt aficionado, of course.  There is a rainbow-hued world of salt options out there.  My current favorite is Hawaiian alaea salt which derives its pinkish or brownish hue from it’s volcanic clay rich in iron oxide.  This next Call is all about the hue as well.  Hue CAN tell the difference, hehehe…

Hue

Color in photography has symbolism and meaning that travels beyond what you see.

More than the combination of red, green, and blue or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, color is a visual tool for non-verbal communication: a viewer’s perception and connection to an image can be significantly enhanced by a certain hue.

Strip away the subject matter from a photograph, and what is left behind? Two things. The underlying geometry of the photo, its composition or balance, and the color.  The design and geometry make an image coalesce, become solid, and enduring. Whereas the color carries the opposite message, one of transience and impermanence. That’s because colors are not inherent in objects, but change  and evolve with the changing light – and we photographers know, light is always changing.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!Hues must contrast or complement one another to create a successful image, a delicate dance of visual balance. For this exhibit we are looking for works that exemplify the innate power of color.  Images that drive us through hue to an emotive response.

Some people truly excel at cooking out in the elements.  I’m not talking about pimped out BBQ grills on your 400 square foot deck.  I’m talking about those folks that can rub two sticks together to make fire or bury things in the coals that turn out like gourmet treats.  I am not that girl.  I’m not really a fan of living in the elements–period.  I mastered s’mores & “Angels Riding Horeseback” (cheese dogs) in the Girl Scouts, but I got that badge by the skin of my teeth.   I CAN admit the elements ARE beautiful, and this next Call will help you prove it.  Great theme…

Photograph the beauty of nature, five elements provide the foundation for our entire physical world. 

Earth, and everything on it, is the product of different combinations of the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space.  Everything found in our world is unique because it contains a varying ratio of these five elements.

Whether walking headfirst into a gale of wind or digging our hands into the soil, we possess an inherent familiarity with the elements.  All organic and inorganic substances are combinations of them, be it a time-polished rock or a shiny piece of plastic.  A multitude of spiritual practices revolve around these five important pieces of the universe.

Have you heard of “Zen Cooking”? It is the trendy concept that the joy in cooking is in the act of cooking, not the end product.  Really?  I don’t get it.  I cook BECAUSE I love to eat.  If the end product isn’t good, then what was the purpose?  I suspect it is a rare cook that really GETS this concept, and I wouldn’t be one of them.  This next Call celebrates rarity of of another kind.

JUROR:  It is no wonder William Neill has developed a deep, spiritual connection with nature, being a resident of the Yosemite National Park area since 1977. His award-winning photography has been widely collected and exhibited in museums and galleries.

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. Mr. Neill is looking forward to the opportunity to see your work, for the purpose of curating what will be an awe-inspiring exhibition of landscape photographs.
