JUROR: Nick Brandt‘s images have been described as “…an ambitious and ongoing photographic project to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa. Brandt’s monochrome widescreen panoramas of animals and landscapes capture an epic vision of Africa that has not been seen before. His iconic portraits of its majestic animals are filled with an empathy usually reserved for human subjects.”

In 2000, Brandt set upon a three part project that he calls “an elegy to a world that is tragically vanishing.” 90 photographs from this decade long project have been condensed into two recent publications On This Earth and A Shadow Falls. Further solidifying his commitment to the African wilderness, Brandt recently established the remarkable Big Life Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of Africa’s wildlife and ecosystems.

Brandt has had multiple solo exhibitions worldwide, including in New York, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Sydney, Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris.

AWARDS: With selection for this exhibition, featured artist’s work will be seen by an international audience of collectors, curators, art consultants, and other advocates of fine art photography.

CALL for ENTRIES: Down on the Farm

Posted on May 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FARM FRESH
GOODNESS

My local farmers market opens soon… have you check out yours lately? I am green-ish about energy conservation, re-use and recycling. I must admit that I am more motivated when there is a cash savings involved. But with food, I am all about the green alternatives. Local foods are fresher and tend to be cheaper, and some local products like honey are said to help combat seasonal allergies. This Call gives you the perfect opportunity to embrace all that you love about farm fresh goodness. Take a look at this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery called Down on the Farm. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Down on the Farm

Your source material for “Down on the Farm” is endless: the backyard garden to the 1000-acre ranch, rice paddies to cotton fields, the chicken coop to the breeding barn, milking stand to dairy co-operative, sugar house to forest floor, road-side veggie stand to farmers’ markets, agricultural auctions to agricultural fairs. This is your chance to pay tribute to the men and women who work the land and raise the animals that nourish us all.

A look back: the Farm Security Administration was born in 1935 in the United States as a means to battle poverty in rural America. It was the documentary photographic work born of this era and via the goals of the FSA, that the first major bodies of work depicting agriculture and its social realities came into being. The majority of the work produced was by fifteen Photographers (a total of 44 photographers had been hired) including such greats as Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Carl Mydans and Ben Shahn. Look to their images, as well as contemporary Ag-Documentarians for your inspiration (Paul Mobley is one practiced suggestion!).

JUROR: “From the fishing villages of Alaska to the palaces of Croatia, Mobley has traveled the world over to capture and celebrate humanity in its infinite forms.” Paul Mobley’s portraits are rich with intimacy – close-up, straight, real, indicative of the souls behind the eyes.

Mobley began his photographic education at the Detroit Center for Creative Studies. He continued his training through apprenticeships in New York with such greats as Annie Leibovitz and Steve Steigman. He grew his photography into a successful commercial career working for a broad range of corporate, advertising, and editorial clients, including American Express, Sony, Citigroup, Ford, Compaq, Gourmet, Max Factor, Chevrolet, Microsoft, and many others.

Mobley visited over 200 farms and ranches across the United States to collect the over 150 portraits that appear in “American Farmer: Portraits from the Heartland” (2008 by Welcome books). Following the tradition of Richard Avedon’s watershed monograph and Mike Disfarmer’s Heber Sprints series, “American Farmer” is an epic monument to the spirit of rural life through the faces and words of those who sustain and nurture the land. Mobley’s dedication to the “American Farmer” project, allow him an experienced and practiced eye through which to jury “Down on the Farm.”

CALL for ENTRIES: Inanimate

Posted on May 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PRICKLY PEAR,
anyone?

I am a bit on the fruity side of normal, and I got there loving extreme fruits–both the botanical variety and the two-legged, human kind. However, I have somehow managed, to the best of my recollection, to become an artist, gallery director, curator and editor without ever having sketched, drawn, photographed or painted a bowl of fruit. This Call doesn’t require a bowl of fruit, but a bowl of fruit would certain qualify. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Working with Artists for Inanimate, a still-life photography show at FLASH Gallery (Colorado). This show’s entry fee has a unique twist– sell a piece of your work, and they will refund your entry fee. Cool, eh?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Inanimate

Working with Artists is issuing an international Call for Art Entries / Submissions for Inanimate, an exhibition of still life photography from international artists from June 17 – July 30, 2011 at FLASH Gallery in Lakewood, Colorado.

Inanimate.
Inanimate objects, are, literally:
Objects not in motion.

Still life in art has a long, rich tradition in history. Still lifes in Egyptian tombs provided food for the deceased. Allegorical still lifes of the Middle Ages gave way to the natural botanicals of the 16th Century, followed by the depiction of everyday items in the Eighteenth Century. The 20th Century’s proliferation of artistic movements reimagined the still life in exciting new ways, making them more abstract.

Viewers imbue a still life with a deeper meaning. In a still life, one looks at an object and begins to fabricate a narrative around the object, charging it with meaning. Multiple objects placed together—in irony or symbolism, for example–generate layers of complexity as the objects themselves seem to spin a story. Food in a still life may be more than merely decorative–it might also imply impermanence and death.

For Inanimate, they are seeking the motionless as a way to express wisdom to the living. Objects that say something about us–about our journey and about how we see, live, work, love, and die in this world.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all domestic & international photographers of all ages.

MEDIA: Digital or traditional photography or a combination of both

DEADLINE: Submissions due no later than 8pm on Friday, May 13th, 2011.

NOTIFICATION: Selections will be announced no later than Friday, May 20th, 2011.

SUBMISSIONS: Jpgs can be entered via email or a CD can be mailed to WWA – 445 S. Saulsbury St, Main Gallery, Lakewood CO, 80226.

ENTRY FEE: An entry fee of $35 for up to three images, and $5 each image thereafter, or $25 for WWA/CLICK! Members, $5 each thereafter shall be included with the entry. Checks can be made to “WWA” or credit card payments can be made over the phone to 303-837-1341.

JUROR: Adam Lerner is the Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and Chief Animator in the Department of Structures and Fictions. He was the founder and Executive Director of The Laboratory of Art and Ideas at Belmar until The Lab merged with the MCA Denver in March 2009.

Lerner was previously Master Teacher for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Denver Art Museum from 2001 to 2003. While at the Denver Art Museum, Lerner worked with Director Lewis Sharp and Continuum Partners to conceptualize and create a new contemporary cultural space for the Denver community. These discussions were the impetus for The Lab at Belmar.

Prior to his arrival in Colorado, Lerner served as Curator of the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, where he also curated several exhibitions, including new projects with Christian Marclay, Dennis Adams, and Isaac Julien.

Lerner received his Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University and his Master’s from Cambridge University. He was a Fellow at the Smithsonian American Art Museum from 1997 to 1998.

SALES: Commission is 70/30 for Members of WWA or 60/40 for non-members. Juried artists in the exhibition who make a sale in the gallery will be refunded their full entry fee.

CALL for ENTRIES: Food from C4FAP!

Posted on April 26, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD glorious FOOD

Some of you think my food obsession is, well, a little over the top. And, a couple of you have suggested that I drop the food references and pictures and just stick to the art deadlines, but on both occasions I have respectfully declined to remove the food from the food-themed art blog. At the end of the day, though, my posts have precious-little to do with food. Today is monumental. Today is the day that Food is both the opening paragraph AND the theme of the Call. It seems only appropriate that one of my wonderful readers should take the Juror’s award for THIS show of all shows. Keep me updated, folks…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado for Food. The theme is open, and the entry fee can be as low as $20. Just take a deep breath, believe in your work and take a chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Food

THEME: Food, in its most basic purpose provides the fundamentals of existence. The act of eating, and what one eats, is based upon many societal implications including location, resources, and access.

For centuries, food has helped distinguish cultures and, on occasion, been the source of rituals. Photography has the ability to transform our vision of food graphically, politically, and culturally.

The theme is open to all interpretations.
Please join in the conversation.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, amateur and pro.

CALL for ENTRIES: Phone-o-Graphic

Posted on April 15, 2011May 19, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD FOR THE EYES

I would love to know what percentage of cell phone pictures are of food. I am willing to bet it is over twenty-five percent…maybe even thirty percent. Thanks to facebook, I am regularly made aware of the gastronomic adventures of hundreds of my friends. Unfortunately, due to the number of my friends that are artists that also read this blog… I must honestly admit that I am among the worst of the offenders. I submit evidence of my guilt by posting this picture to the left of delicious Buckberry Bread Pudding that I took yesterday at The Lodge at Buckberry Creek. And, while I am not suggesting you submit pictures of food, this Call will require use of your cell phone. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery called Phone-O-Graphic Arts. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Dark Room Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Phone-O-Graphic

Likely you’ve got your phone with you at all times, while you’ve forgotten your dSLR or film camera at home. You wouldn’t dare leave your phone at home, would you? It’s liberating, knowing your cell or smartphone can take a picture, anytime, anywhere.

As Photographers, you’ve likely engaged in the heated discussion over the capability, viability, credibility of the camera phone. Purists scoff at the intrusion of a mediocre, fraud of a device, that is marring their photographic religion. And then there are the rest of you, embracing the technology and embracing the all-in-one, multi-media lifestyle of the cellphone-toting imagist, so many of you have become.

JUROR: Dan Burkholder has a long history of looking over the photographic horizon to see, explore and teach the next great thing in imaging. His newest book, iPhone Artistry (Pixiq Press, 2011), is the definitive how-to for creative iPhone photographers. His first book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing (Bladed Iris Press, 1995) became a seminal manual for photographers wanting to blend the power of digital imaging with the charm of the handmade print.

Dan received his B.A. and Master’s degrees from Brooks Institute of Photography, in Santa Barbara, CA. Dan has taught digital imaging workshops for 16 years on three continents and several island countries.

Burkholder’s platinum / palladium and pigmented ink prints are included in private and public collections internationally.

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

CALL for ENTRIES: Photographer’s Forum

Posted on March 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PRICKLY COMMENTARY

There have been a couple of sites out there lately screaming about the dangers of free and low entry fee contests and calls. I know that I get accused of being all hearts and rainbows, but I think there is enough negativity out there. You’re smart. Read the fine print. Don’t refuse to enter because it is scary. If I didn’t eat things that looked scary, I would have missed out on sea urchin yumminess. And the world we be a less lovely place without sea urchins, trust me. This next call can be entered for next to nothing. I say… take a chance, but remember to read the fine print about retaining your photographic rights.

Check out this Call for Entries, sponsored by Sigma, for the Photographer’s Forum 31st Annual Photography Contest. It is hard to come up with an excuse not to spend $3.95 for the entry fee, and after 30 years… they have to be doing something right. Enter today!

CALL for ENTRIES: Digital Concept and Construct

Posted on March 2, 2011March 2, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

EAT MY PIXELS

I am annoyed by late-night fast food commercials because my will power doesn’t need the test. But my child falls for those digitally-enhanced, staged food product advertisements everytime. I cannot tell you how many cereals I have bought for him because they “look yummy,” only to find out they are artificially-flavored cardboard. This next Call for Entries shows the positive side of digital manipulaton.

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (converting from the Vermont Photo Space Gallery) called Digital Concept / Digital Construct. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Dark Room Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

Editor’s Note: I know how many of you roll your eyes every time you read that the media for a show excludes computer-generated work, new media and digitally manipulated artwork and photography. If you want more opportunities and to be accepted into the same shows with mainstream traditional media, DO NOT let shows like this one pass you by. This show is made for you. No whining… just do it.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Digital Concept / Digital Construct

This is a digital world. We are surrounded, engulfed by, and reliant upon digital media. It has become a way of life and a way of seeing. As digitally manipulated images become the norm, their fantasy perspectives are becoming the new reality. Is there such a thing as truth and lies in digital art photographs, or is it all just possibility?

Our capacities and aptitudes for creating digital photographic art far exceed what we had imagined. We’re tempted by new technologies – camera phones and point and shoots, the next 80 megapixel medium format digital back, the newest apps, the latest updates – we cannot help but push the proverbial envelope (shadow/highlight recovery, adjustment brushes, the curves line, layer blending modes).

There is art in successful digital imaging and manipulation.

Vincent Dixon, the Wade Brothers, David LaChapelle, the collaborations of Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, and our Juror, award-winning Photoshop expert Suzette Troche-Stapp are elevating the digitally manipulated photograph to the next level. How do you use it to develop your concepts and achieve your constructs? Whether you are enhancing or altering reality, creating fantasy, retouching, compositing, constructing, how has digital informed your imaging?

JUROR: A photographer since the age of sixteen, Suzette Troche-Stapp has been working in digital imaging since its inception in the 1980’s. Recognized throughout the industry, Suzette was recently named one of the “Top 40 Photoshop Experts,” awarded the “Guru Award” for excellence in Photoshop by NAPP, and nominated for the “Photoshop Hall Of Fame” several years in a row.

Her images are seen in national ad campaigns, editorial beauty and fashion features, and her celebrity images have been broadcast to millions on shows like “The View”, “The Late Show”, and “Kathy Griffin’s Life on the D-List”.

Troche-Stapp is also a workshop facilitator and author, offering tutorials, several published articles and an award-winning book “The Glitterguru on Photoshop: from Concept to Cool.” The Dark Room Gallery is so pleased to have Suzette Troche-Stapp’s digital expertise and commercial experience as Juror for “Digital Concept.Digital Construct.”

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry.

If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear on the submission form.

Posted on February 23, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BUTTER ME UP!

I have lots of cooking excuses, alibis if you will, for complete failures. Oh, I didn’t use self-rising flour. Does it make a difference? I thought I could use low-fat margarine instead of butter.

MY HEAD SPINS ROUND

How food looks matters. There is a reason split pea soup turned up as vomit in The Exorcist. I love the taste, but let’s face facts folks… split pea soup looks gross.

CALL for ENTRIES: Seeing Seeing

Posted on February 9, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GOODBYE STRAINER

I’m getting a little jaded about kitchen gadgets. I love them, but I am fairly regularly disappointed by their results. But, I have to admit that I’m really excited about the new FoodPod. Too Cool. Okay, my faith is renewed in kitchen gadgets. Use this next Call to renew my faith in your ability to take a great picture from your cell phone. Whatcha think?

Check out this Call for Entries from Creative Arts Workshop (CAW) for Seeing Seeing: Capturing a Moment. You can even use your cell phone to take pictures for this juried exhibit… and you might even win a joint show. Take a chance today!

Call for Entries:
Seeing Seeing: Capturing a Moment

Special photographs capture a moment in time of somewhere, someone, something in a way that leaves us spellbound. They reveal, tell, relate, inform, depict what we didn’t really know existed, and leave us wanting for more.

With the proliferation of cameras of all sorts, it’s no wonder everyone sees themselves as a photographer of one form or another. All of these tools beget an enormous number of images created by almost anyone who can get their finger on the “shutter.” But how many of those images are so remarkable we are left breathless as we are introduced to a new insight – a new way of seeing something, perhaps even something familiar?
