FREAKY FOOD
Genetically modified and manipulated food freaks me out. I eat it regularly–not because I choose to, but because disclosure is not required. What freaks me out is the unknown end result. Maybe nothing is wrong with GM food, but shouldn’t we figure that out before we start stuffing it in everything? You might be shocked by how much of the raw foods we eat are manipulated, and the processed foods we eat are packed as well. This next Call puts a lovely spin on the modified and manipulated… and stays away from my food, thank-you-very-much.
Check out this Call for Entries for Manipulated from Castell Photography in Asheville, NC! The entry fee is only $25 for 3 images, and this is an excellent opportunity for photographers to push their boundaries a little. Take a closer look…
