CALL for ENTRIES: Girls, Girls, Girls!

girly GREENS

The girls-eat-salad debate continues. Stock photography makes it appear that women can barely nibble a leaf without laughing. Men in movie bars disparage women who eat salads for their sexier steak-eating counterparts. Body-shamers think women should only eat salad while movie intellectuals think kale salad is for silly hipsters. I am uncertain how gender really applies to food. I only know that after a weeks on the road, there is little better than hand-torn greens and back yard veggies from the farmers’ market topped with a homemade dress. My husband agrees. And while salad may not be all about the girls, this Call is. Take a look…

something’s
FISHY

Children often outgrow the dislike of strongly-flavored foods, but I truly just substituted some for others. I used to love sardines on saltines as a kid, but now you can always anchovy paste in my pantry. This could be an explanation for why our household is such a hit with all the neighborhood felines, just like this next Call should be. Take a look…

“Cats. Love ’em or hate ’em, they surround us. They rule our world with a furry sharp-clawed fist. They allow us to live with them as long as we abide by their rules. Step out of line, and you will feel their wrath. What’s a human to do?”

CALL for ENTRIES: Nocturne

a-maze-ingly
CORNY

Popping corn is an art. We consume bowls and bowls and bowls of popcorn at my house every night–organic, non-GMO cooked on the stove the same way it was done when I was little. As a matter of fact, I believe my craving for popcorn is actually triggered by sunset. I adore it toped by finely grated Parmesan & a sprinkle of chile powder. My husband craves it with huge doses of freshly ground black pepper. My son prefers it with just a sprinkle of sea salt. That’s our nighttime popcorn trifecta. This next Call is open to whole different kind of nighttime imagery. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Alive and Well

Posted on March 2, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

AND THE CHEESE
stands alone

Nothing can compare to hand-crafted cheeses. Whether is is fresh-pulled mozzarella or organic, farm fresh goat cheese, there is simply nothing in the world like it. The craft, although not frequently practiced, has vastly improved in the past 20 years while other big box manufacturers are creating more and more automated processes. This next Call is sort of the photography equivalent of hand-crafted cheese. Is this one for you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Brass & Bellows (Marine on St. Croix, MN) for Alive and Well, a silver gelatin emulsion photography show. The entry fee is a rare offer, and the commission is only 20%. Don’t miss this opportunity to show at Brass & Bellows…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Alive & Well

“There is a growing misconception that traditional analog photography is dying. I’m not referring to alternative process, either. I am talking SILVER GELATIN. Remember when you were little and you would see in the movies or on TV, that guy in his little red lit room, with pieces of paper hanging on lines and trays of weird liquids. My favorite was the little tongs, like gently saving something fragile from drowning in a sea of chemistry.

“Or, recall the first thrill of watching an image appear on a blank sheet of paper, soaked in that secret solution that brought the image to life as if it had been drawn with magic ink, and you alone knew the spell to free it. Oh no, traditional photography is far from dying, in fact, silver gelatin has seen very interesting things happen to it, perhaps spurred on by the sense of freedom and experimentation motivated by the rebirth of historic process.” — from brassandbellows.com

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: chemigrams, lumen prints, pinholes, lith prints, straight forward B&W prints, solarography, or paper negatives (or prints from paper negs). Any subject matter is acceptable, as long as the majority of the final image in produced using silver gelatin emulsion.

DEADLINE: April 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: 10 days after deadline

ENTRY FEE: Pay what you can. Editor’s Note: I cannot express how rare this is.

AWARDS: The gallery director will select 30 – 40 images to be included in the show.

SALES: Brass & Bellows will retain 20% commission.

CALL for ENTRIES: Portfolio ShowCase Volume 5

Posted on August 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

I want
ONE OF
EVERYTHING

The menu is a chef’s portfolio. I’m not talking about a large chain of restaurants that has a whole research and development kitchen researching food trends.

OPEN CALL: Alibi Fine Art in Chicago

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. Someone said you could substitute applesauce for oil when baking, right? I hear frozen corn is just a good as fresh. I never met a cooking alibi I didn’t love, and this next call is an Alibi to keep.
