Do you remember when fast food was a super fast, super cheap option?  If you were on the go or in a hurry, lunch or dinner at a fast food joint wouldn’t break the bank.  Today, my little family of 3 stopped for lunch.  I ordered from the value menu to keep my portion sizes in check.  My two favorite men ordered sandwiches and fries.  The total was about $16.50.  Really? $16.50 for a fast food lunch?  When did this happen?  Clearly, I am out of touch with reality.  This next Call puts 1650 in a much better light.  Don’t miss this…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles) for I’ll Be Your Mirror: The Portrait. The entry fee is only $25, and the 1650 Gallery also offer free matting and framing. Take a closer look…

I’ll Be Your Mirror:
The Portrait

 

Great portraiture such as that produced by Dorothea Lange, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Matthew Brady, Peter Hujar and Diane Arbus comprise one of the main pillars of the Pantheon of photographic arts.

The challenge of capturing the personality behind the person requires both technical know-how and an artist’s eye, combining technique, intuition and empathy. When done right, the unseen power of persona comes into focus and, as if by magic — personality seems to jump from the page. This month 1650 Gallery tips our hat to the power of people pictures, and welcomes your work in the blockbuster genre of photographic portraiture.

ELIGIBILITY: All artists 18 years or older

MEDIA: Photography

little piece of
my heart

I am craving tapas, and I am too lazy to do it myself.  I love the idea of little tidbits of a large variety of foods from savory to sweet.  I also love the sharing that is inherent in this sort of eating.  It always feels like we are sharing a chef’s whole portfolio of tricks and treats with those we love the most.  This next Call will allow you to show YOUR whole portfolio, and I am happy to share it with my readers…the ones I love most.  Too sappy for Thursday; I know…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Portfolio Show from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The is about a third lower this year than last.  So this is an excellent opportunity to show a full body of work for not much more than the average 3 image submission. If the shoe fits…

Portfolio Show

 

Every photograph tells a story. When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative. A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, providing context that gives it richness and meaning greater than the sum of its parts. The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its second annual portfolio showcase, juried by renowned photography critic Vicki Goldberg.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE:  May 23, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Approx. 8 days after deadline.

ENTRY FEE:  $50 for 10 – 15 images

Learn more from the Kiernan Gallery!JUROR:  Vicki Goldberg, one of the leading voices in the field of photography criticism, wrote about photography for the New York Times for thirteen years and has published several books and the texts for more than twenty-five photographic monographs.  One review of her latest book, The White House: The President’s Home in Photographs and History, called it “a lovely way to invite people who are a little wobbly on their White House and presidential history to shore up some of their weaknesses, while learning a thing or two about how the medium of photography has shaped our identity and national perspective.”

Goldberg has received numerous awards for writing, including the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award, the Royal Society’s Dudley Johnston Award, and the Long Chen Cup (China).  Ms. Goldberg, who has taught courses at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York, the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Institute of Boston, lectures internationally and writes on photography for various magazines.

AWARDS:  For this exhibition, four photographers will be selected to show their complete bodies of work.

SALES:  Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

PEARLS
of wisdom

I have a long-standing addiction to pasta. More accurately, I am addicted to that slightly drowsy, completely relaxed feeling I have when I finish a beautiful Italian meal. My friends have been trying to get me to read Wheat Belly, but I’ve resisted for fear that I would end up having to give up my favorite pasta, whole wheat couscous. I cannot bear the thought. So, this next Call comes from San Francisco which has nothing to do with couscous, but the last time I made a Rice-A-Roni segue, I got email for weeks. So, my stream of consciousness led me to couscous. I know, random. Regardless, don’t miss this next Call…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Photographica (San Francisco, CA) for the San Francisco International Photography Exhibition to be held at Studio 17 Gallery. The entry fee can be as low as $25; the juror is excellent, and the prizes are great. This one might be perfect for you!

I learned my love of eating from my family, but I learned my love of food from experience far outside my family dynamic.  You can’t choose your family as a child, and my family loved fried chicken and collard greens.  I love fried chicken, too.

I am intrigued by flavor combinations in even the simplest foods.  Fresh mozzarella is transformed by a little basil and balsamic vinegar.  And benign red potatoes morph into the ultimate comfort food with a little smash and a clove of garlic.  Sometimes it isn’t about the right food, but the right combination of foods This next gallery is all about supporting artists that are in the process of emerging, morphing if-you-will, into a new a new version of themselves in the arts community.  Maybe you and this gallery will be the perfect combination…

I spent YEARS disguising food both visually and by name.  Spinach quiche spent years as “egg pie.”  I’ve hidden zucchini in spaghetti sauce, and carrots, onion and celery in virtually everything.  I am pleased that I can now look at my kid and say, “Yes, those are beets.”  But, the years of trickery served a purpose; he’ll give anything a try now that his palate has been trained to prove his eyes wrong.  This next Call is all about tricking the eye.  Great theme…

Magic that is channeled
in a single shot,
a recalibration of reality,
be the clever and cunning
illusionist behind the lens.

 

Optical illusions conjured by a variance of processes; from physically meticulous studio setups, to spontaneously captured works of luck, and ones hugely composed in post. Manipulate our perceptions with flourish. Deal with foreshortening, vanishing points, sandwiching negatives or the unique mash up of subjects.  Employ sleight of hand use of color and composition that begs us to ask the question,”How ever did they do that?”

I’ve never cared for drinking water.  I know, I know.  Shame and guilt.  I drink unsweetened decaffeinated iced tea by the gallon.  But somewhere along the way I noticed a few wrinkles and sags in my face.  Shortly thereafter I tripped across an article extolling the wonders that drinking water promises for your skin.  It was hard, but I stuck with it hoping for miraculous results.  Now I regularly crave water in addition to all the tea that I still drink.  Of course, it made no noticeable difference in my skin, but it IS proof that I am not immune to the vanity that rears its ugly head as we age.  This next Call is all about skin.  I love this theme…
