CALL for ENTRIES: Jealous

Posted on September 24, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

jumping through the
HOOPS

I have plastic envy. Hoop houses are sprouting up all over town as pre-planning for chances of upcoming frost. Last year our first snow came in October. Locally lots of folks protect their late Summer plantings from possible early frost while also giving them space to start seedlings in colder weather. Once the ground is frozen, installation becomes a much more complicated project. My house hangs on the side of a mountain. The only flat space I have for a hoop house is my gravel driveway, ha. Jealous of plastic –never thought I’d have that problem. This next Call will hopefully make you the object of the jealous. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Fresh Paint Magazine & the Jealous Curator for December Int’l edition. This mag is delicious, & rumor has it that, once again, one of our readers is being featured! We are so proud to have them as sponsors. Open to more than PAINTING…

Rats, when tested, will develop cancer. Have you heard that satirical proverb? I believe it is/was meant to be a comment on the number of carcinogens identified by animal testing. Well, I have another one for you. Food, when processed, will become unhealthy. Okay, maybe that one isn’t so satirical. Check out this list of 7 Foods People Think are Healthy, but Aren’t. But, I suspect most of you are far too food savvy to have thought they were healthy, so check out the list of seven media that are eligible for this next Call. It’s worth a look…

PEPPERS
only smaller

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter. This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work. I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work. Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

Curvilinear

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus. Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly. It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature. Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com

SUGAR skulls &
bones of BREAD

My family enjoys participating in cultural celebrations from around the world. None of us grew up with any sort of specific cultural traditions aside from spaghetti night or BBQ on Father’s Day. So each year we adopt Chinese New Year, Oktoberfest & even the Day of the Dead as our very own. Chinese New Year gives us an extra 6 weeks or so to make plans for the upcoming year (Yes, we really are late to everything –even making resolutions, ha). Dia de Los Muertos offers us a time to tell stories about those we’ve lost. I’ve lost a lot of people lately, and it is a great comfort to take time to celebrate them. This next Call is interested in that same celebration. Take a look…

At 17 she began using a camera to make self portraits. It was simply a way to give her a glimpse inside herself to make sense of the pain with which she struggled to understand.

MUNCHIES

I kicked cable TV to the curb. Because we travel for work, no one really watches specific shows very often. So, we have a Hulu account & Chromecast PLUS there’s a Redbox® just down the mountain.

This next Call could be an excellent way to put my new movie-watching obsession to good use. Take a look…
