PESKY PESTO
Families have definite food personalities. My in-laws love carbs…and cream of mushroom soup. My mother loves pork in all its various forms, from chops to bacon. And, of course, my family craves BOLD flavors, from sweet thai chili sauce and wasabi to truffle butter and pesto. Can you imagine what our family dinners are like? Odd. This next Call is interested in YOUR family dynamics. Interested?
Check out this Call for Entries from The Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA) for Family Dynamics. Headed toward the holidays, this seems like the perfect theme for reflection and planning for the new year! Take a look…

Family Dynamics
From formal portraits to snapshots, family pictures adorn our homes more than any other type of photograph. Images of family reveal personal connections as well as emotional distances. They are historical records, containing both facades and truths. The definition of family is a personal one, and for Family Dynamics, The Kiernan Gallery welcomes images that break with tradition or embrace it, whether the family is yours, someone else’s, or one to which you have chosen to belong.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.
MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.
DEADLINE: December 27, 2011
ENTRY FEE: $25 for the first 5 images and $5 for each additional image–up to 10 images.
JUROR: Henry Horenstein has been a professional photographer, teacher, and author, since the 1970s. He studied history at the University of Chicago before turning to photography, earning his BFA and MFA at Rhode Island School of Design while studying under legendary photographers Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. Henry’s work is collected and exhibited internationally, and he has published over thirty books, including Black & White Photography: A Basic Manual, used by hundreds of thousand of college, university, high school, and art-school students as their introduction to photography. He has also published several monographs of his own work, including Show, Animalia, Close Relations, and many others. Henry lives in Boston and is a professor of photography at RISD.
