My COUS COUS
I read alot of facebook posts slamming folks that post cell phone pics of their food. Sorry, I do it too. See my Cayman Islands lunch pictured left. Be patient with the food-obsessed; we’re people too. Our exaggerated sense of self-importance has us convinced that you will be so happy for us when you see our latest creation or out-to-eat treat. I am certain there is a diagnosis out there that I haven’t heard of. Be kind. This next show might be willing to take some of those food pics off our hands, though. Whatcha think?

iSpy Cell Phone Photos
Photography has always had a special place in art as a technology-driven medium. It has evolved from glass plates to film, to the 35mm, disposable cameras; to the digital revolution, always becoming more and more accessible. The camera-phone is the most recent incarnation of this evolution, and it has impacted photojournalism and fine art photography as much as everyday snapshots. For iSpy: Camera Phone Photography, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images taken with cell phones that span all genres of photography.
ELIGIBILITY: Photographers of all skill levels and nationalities may participate.
MEDIA: Only images taken with a cellular phone will be accepted for this
exhibition. Use of apps (e.g. Hipstamatic, Instagram, Darkroom, Tiltshift, Pano, etc.) is acceptable and encouraged.
DEADLINE: January 26, 2012
NOTIFICATION: February 3, 2012
ENTRY FEE: $25 for 5 images, $5 per additional image up to 10.
JUROR: Represented by galleries across the country and published throughout the world, Aline Smithson continues to create her award-winning photography with humor, compassion, and a 50-year-old camera.
Her work has been featured in numerous publications. She has exhibited widely including solo shows at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art, The Tagomago Gallery in Barcelona, and Wallspace Gallery in Santa Barbara. Aline has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine, writes and edits the blog, Lenscratch, is a contributing writer for Diffusion, Too Much Chocolate, Lucida, and F Stop Magazine, and has been curating exhibitions for a number of galleries and on-line magazines. She was a 2009, 2010, and 2011 juror for Critical Mass, and a reviewer at Review LA in 2010 and 2011. Though she was nominated for The Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award in 2008, 2009, and 2010 and for The Santa Fe Prize in Photography in 2009 by Center, she considers her children her greatest achievement.
