Simpler is generally best when it comes to food. Although I can complete understand the complex layered flavors of miso, I would still prefer a simple caprese salad of mozzarella, basil, tomatoes and olive oil any day.  This next Call gives you an opportunity to prove that you make simple use of a simple camera.  Don’t miss this chance…

Check out this Call for Art Entries for Toyed With a low-fidelity / alternative process photo show at Open Shutter Gallery (Durango, Colorado). Enter your photographs for $25, but be sure to make the July 14th deadline!

STARCH,
please!

Newer isn’t always better.  Once upon a time, all fast-food french fries were similar to the yumminess that is McDonald’s fries.  But about a decade ago, someone (to protect the guilty, I won’t mention their names) decided that all fast food fries needed to be crispier and started add weird stuff to mashed potatoes and extruding a fry-like stick that my family calls “starch sticks.”  Luckily, the golden fries from the golden arches remain the same as always.  This next Call gives you an opportunity to prove that newer isn’t always better.
