this

My 14 year old TAKES HIS LUNCH everyday.  No joke.  He is allergic to wheat, and public school lunches, aside from having wheat hiding everywhere, are not to his liking.  I have ruined his ability to eat fake food.  So, his lunches are often a little like homemade Lunchables™ with a little of this and a little of that.  But the last time I had to fly, I encounter the most bizarre concept–Lunchables™ for adults.  Well, not literally; at least I don’t THINK Oscar Mayer® is making in-flight foods.  Maybe a little tapas lunch of your own making will help you tackle this gravity defying Call.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Take Flight from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and I’ll bet you already have lots of work that works with this theme…

Take Flight

 

Humans have always desired to take to the skies. Fascinated by flight, we construct machines to propel us into the air; from kites and hot air balloons to supersonic jets. We admire birds and costume ourselves with wings, imagining what it would be like to fly without assistance.

For Take Flight, The Kiernan Gallery seeks
images of and about defying gravity.

Illumine

Light is that which compels a photograph into being: shifting, glowing, luminous, obscure or brilliant.

The medium of photography brazenly defined: How our tools, environs and subjects respond to light.  Sometimes the light plays a more prominent role in a photograph, sometimes as a supporting actor and sometimes as the protagonist itself.

Low light, bright light and every stop in between. Light can be luminous & rich, or a stark spotlight, it can wildly dance, or softly edge darkness and cast shadows. Light can reflect and sparkle or be blinding and disarming. Natural light vs. man-made light sources: sunrises and sunsets, moonlight and neon light!

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!Photographs are steeped in emotive qualities that go well beyond the work’s subject and content, an almost indecipherable layer is em-parted through the usage of light.

Happiness is seeing sheer joy on your teenager’s face when you bring home a ripe avocado.  During the chicken finger and fries years, I got so used to the “yuck” face every time something green came across his plate that I was convinced he would end up with rickets or die of malnutrition.

Faces

 

An enduring fascination with the photographic portrait.

Each portrait reveals something of the sitter, the photographer and also of us as viewers. No one image can muster a whole and complete being, no matter how much we believe this could be so. This is the part of the photograph we create in our imagination, we fill in each crack and hole with a sort of personalized reasoning. And all these unknowns in the midst of true transparency.

Eye contact is made or retracted, body language boastful, reticent or indecipherable. Facial expressions can be hard at work or numbly slack. While subjects have a power over these photographic outcomes, it is the choice of the photographer to coax or mute said expressions for their artistic offering.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online! Submit work depicting people, selves, faces. People that baffle us with their complexities, personalities or simplistic nature. Make us question how this person existed at this particular place and time.

The world is a colorful place. Despite this, photographers often choose to excise color from the world they capture. Artists working in black and white eliminate the complexities of color to accentuate form, composition, and lighting. The world desaturated is in some ways made more vivid. For Grayscale, The Kiernan gallery seeks photographs of any subject matter that use and celebrate the vibrancy of monochrome.

The natural world has fascinated photographers since the invention of the medium. Botanicals are props in portraiture, examined in landscapes, and rendered as patterns in décor and apparel.

Preserving the ephemeral quality of plant-life as a still image allows viewers to contemplate the beauty and complexity of natural forms, but it also allows artists to re-purpose nature for our own expressive ends. Whether in bloom or decay, edible or admirable, mammoth or miniscule, all interpretations of flora are welcome for The Kiernan Gallery’s exhibition, Botanicals.

My kitchen is clean-ish.  Can you eat off my floors?  Absolutely not.  I am pretty good about cleaning as I cook so there isn’t a disaster to clean up afterward.  And, crumb-y counters are my pet peeve; so I keep them wiped down.  But despite my best efforts, I have an ant problem.  I find a dozen or so small black ants on my kitchen counters every time I go in.  I’m tempted to incorporate them into my next recipe just to send a message to the rest of their kind.  This next Call could be a reason to spare their little lives, or not…

Ah, the mysterious world of the insect.  Some are cute and cuddly, like the furry caterpillar.  Some are fierce and scary, wearing their skeletons on the outside to frighten us.  Some are artistic and majestic like the beautiful butterfly. And some are just downright romantic, like the firefly on a warm summer evening.

Nothing stretches the photographic imagination like a visit to a strange new world, but on this trip you needn’t go far to find a photo worthy subject; the wonderful world of bugs intersects and parallels our own.  Like humans, bugs are everywhere!  So this month, forget the cobwebs of your mind, grab your camera and your knee pads and worm your way into the nooks and crannies of the fantastic world of the creepers and the crawly!  Be here now and in tune with the buzz…. this month 1650 celebrates life — a bug’s life!
