PIE

I talk to myself in the grocery store –okay everywhere. But, it is worst in the grocery store. In the produce section last week, I was standing in front of a mountain of shiny red apples when I muttered, “I don’t get it.” As you know, I advertise my disinterest in the grainy texture & overly sweet flavor of many red varieties of apples on a regular basis. I tend to prefer them green & tart; sue me. My grocer had approx. 2 dozen green apples & 20 dozen red varieties for sale, hence the “I don’t get it.” But this time, a woman in my age range was standing next to me while I muttered. She turned, looked me in the eye & said, “If you don’t like apples, you’re not American.” Really? Is my nationality now determined by my fruit choices? Lady, step away from the apples & toward the hard cider. This next Call is all about being American. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wide Open 7

Posted on January 21, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

5 + 2 =
7 DAYS

Veggies everyday seems simple. There are many different perspectives on how much is enough, but the average recommendation is 5 servings a day (approximately 1/2 c., well packed, per serving). Five days a week, no problem, but because I travel for work so often, those last 2 days seem to elude me. I still manage 2 or 3 fruits & veggies a day, but the full five is a struggle. Celebrate seven with this next call. Open to all media…

salt &
CELERY

Even as a kid, my tastes were a little off center. My father used to chop carrots for me so that I could dip them in celery salt, conveniently contained in the spice container cap. I don’t recall using celery salt on anything else either. So strange. Celery sticks got garlic salt, BTW. Neither get either now, ha. This next Call wants your perspective on childhood. Take a look…

MUSTARD
fiends

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend. There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house. Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family. And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it). Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will. This next gallery is a little like home base for me. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

FOOD
for survival

New Orleans is one of my favorite cities for food. I really believed that Hurricane Katrina would put an end to the complex palate of taste that defined this beautiful town for me. I had the privilege to visit a mere 2 years after the tropical disaster. I was amazed. You can’t keep New Orleans down then, now or EVER. This next Call wants your perspective on the impact–maybe even culinary. Take a look…

NO CHICKEN
for dinner

I have nieces in college that will only eat chicken & potatoes. More accurately, their preference is chicken fingers & fries. These ladies are in their twenties. Their parents chose their battles, so to speak, and apparently food wasn’t one of them. Even on special occasions like holidays & birthdays (not even their own), someone always cooks chicken fingers, nuggets or tenders for these two just to keep the peace. This would be a declaration of war in my house. This next Call wants YOUR take on conflict–not just from the battleground either. This is a great opportunity to stretch your artistic self conceptually…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for War & Peace. $24 entry. We’re proud of how many of our readers have been both shown & awarded in the past few years at Darkroom. Take a look…

War & Peace

“As described by the famous Karl Marx theory: society is in a state of perpetual conflict due to competition for limited resources. One can see that is true if you simply watch a broadcast news program. From civil rights, to gay rights to global terrorism, our world is a bubbling cauldron of adversarial commotion. And it seems it has always been this way.” — from darkroomgallery.com

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

The creativity of food preparation has fundamentally changed on a mainstream level in the past 20 years. A larger segment of the population cooks with abandon now. The great divide between foods destined to be either savory or sweet seems to have slowly disappeared. Chocolate is as likely to show up in an entree as bacon is to show up in a dessert. This next Call encourages you to explore and challenge boundaries presented by both materials & concepts. Take a look…

Squash is yellow in my house. If I ask, “do you want squash with dinner”, I mean the yellow, long-neck variety of summer squash. If I want acorn, spaghetti or zucchini squash I will ask for it.

If you work on a bicycle (cop, messenger, etc), how do you bring your lunch to work? It isn’t as though bike messengers ride around on trikes with baskets on the back.
