CALL for ENTRIES: Photo Shoot 2016

Posted on September 29, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

PRODUCE unboxed, unbagged

Grocery cashiers aren’t my biggest fans. They seem to take issue with my lack of packaging. Why do my two lemons need to be in a plastic bag? Onions come in their own wrapping. Why would I protect them from getting dirty when I am just going to peel them? Is it really that hard to corral my summer squash and carrots outside of a bag or box? This next Call is a great reason to think inside the “box”. Just leave your produce unfettered. Take a look…

Posted on September 14, 2016September 14, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

TO-MAY-TO to-mah-to

Here today, gone tomorrow –ah, transient tomatoes. Just last week I was lamenting how many ways I could quickly preserve the abundance of tomatoes I brought home from the farmers market. Now? I have a handful of tiny Romas left before I have to suffer the grocer’s sad selection of hard, hot house harlots that pass as tomatoes. This next Call wants your take on transience, physical, mental or ethereal. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Sea

hold the FISH

Although I prefer living in the mountains, I truly love coastal food –fresh fish, citrus squeezes & sticky sweet frozen treats. But you know what really makes me think of the beach? Muffulettas. They are the perfect “sea-food”, like an antipasto sandwich with olives and peppers, meats and cheeses all marinated and compressed in a hollowed out crusty loaf or round. An entire meal in a handful that doesn’t get stale or mushy. This next Call wants to know about your sea experience. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Enthusiasm

SOUP-y soft spot

I will eat almost anything once, we’ve established this already. But, as a kid, I would not get past the lemon-furniture-polish impression I had of lemongrass and ginger. Luckily I was far more likely to be faced with fried okra than lemongrass as a youngster. As an adult, I am such a fan. A day with a bowl (or three) of Tom Kha soup never ends badly. I’m a little overly enthusiastic about ginger, but perfectly enthusiastic about this Call. Take a look…

flawless FRUIT

I’m taking less food pics in restaurants these days. I’ve been shamed into stopping. How ’bout you? Now when I am served a beautiful dish, I have to weigh whether it is worth the condescending looks of disdain from servers and other patrons. Sigh. The only advantage is that taking pictures at home allows me to use a really camera, not my phone, and get the cherries arranged just so. Plus, now I can re-heat dinner after I get the perfect shot, ha. This next Call is interested in your perfect shots. Take a look…

I spent another week eating & working on the road. I am a grazer, always snacking on something whether I am home or on the road. Most of my work gets done in a hotel room or in the car during night drives, but this week I spent hours in a coffee shop. Ewwww. The yuck didn’t come from the coffee or the fantastic lunch I had. It came from my laptop. Gross. Who do I call to decontaminate my work space? The fluorescent lighting in the coffee shop highlighted every crumb, splotch & speck. This next Call wants your view on technology & nature (not necessarily food). Take a look…

land of CITRUS

I was born in Florida & spent the majority of my first 5 years there. We had a grapefruit tree in our yard. But, I can’t remember having so much as a wedge of an orange to eat. I do remember drinking lots of Tang though. Odd. Was my childhood plagued by foods expertly marketed to my single father, or is my recollection just not of those specific memories? Not even a wedge? How is that possible. This next Call wants YOUR childhood images. (Oranges not required). Take a look…

Childhood
from L.A. Photo Curator

“Childhood is bursting at the seams with wonder, learning, exploration, joy, transformation, struggle, and love. So much carries a child from babyhood to spreading their wings as adults. It is, at once, so slow and so fast. So beautiful, and at times, so hard. What do you want to say about this fascinating time? We’d love to see your version of the child, from your perspective, in all its wonder or challenge.” –from curator Meredith McGrane

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

CURATOR: Meredith McGrane is a Massachusetts-based photographer whose work often explores her two selves — one part motherhood and one part channeling a penchant for wanderlust that existed long before motherhood. McGrane’s One Love Project examines mothering an only child with themes of presence, connection, and healing. Her photographs have been exhibited nationally. When not photographing, Meredith can be found putting on plays in her living room or riding her Razor scooter around the neighborhood – both with her daughter, of course.http://www.meredithmphotography.com/

NUTS for one & all

Last Fall the local acorn crop failed, along with most of the hard mast. As a result, black bears suffered along with the deer, squirrels & jays; it is a primary food source in the Smokies. The bears were so hungry last year, more than 50 of them ended up at our local rescue. I am hopeful for this year’s crop. Every squirrel, chipmunk & jay that has crossed my path has done so with a green acorn in its mouth, or so it seems. Fingers crossed the trees don’t let all the little critters down this year. This next Call is also all about the trees. I like this one…

Trees 2016
from NYC4PA

–

“Trees are essential to the lifeblood of the world. Roots hold the soil so erosion is mitigated. They are home to birds, squirrels and many other of nature’s creatures. They bear fruit and in the fall the colors enhance our lives. Trees can also be looming, ominous, and, in cases of stormy weather, dangerous. They are integral to forests and jungles. They stand alone on a hillside creating lovely shadows; shade a child on a hot day; are sturdy posts to tie up the pet dog, hold a hammock off the ground. Remember the lost art of the backyard laundry line. Send us your images of trees as you experience them – forests, single trees, branches, roots.” –NYC4PA.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to any photographic process (print, image transfer, emulsion transfer, encaustic, black and white, etc.)

THEME: Trees

DEADLINE: June 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3, $10 ea. add’l
