HUMAN “BEANS”
We all hear basic needs defined as food, water and shelter, but there is a lot of wiggle room in those standards. With folks now obsessed with organic foods and bottled water, I suspect the acceptable norm will continue to shift. This next Call invites you to dig deeper into what it means to BE HUMAN not just survive.
Check out this Call for Entries for Human + Being from the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado. I personally love portraiture, and I can’t wait to enter this one. Join me…
