Happiness is seeing sheer joy on your teenager’s face when you bring home a ripe avocado.  During the chicken finger and fries years, I got so used to the “yuck” face every time something green came across his plate that I was convinced he would end up with rickets or die of malnutrition. Now I just see a happy face at the dinner table except on the rare occasion that pickled beets get a what-the-hell face.  Faces are my favorite, and this next Call is a great opportunity to concentrate on them.  Just do it; you know you want to…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Faces.  The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

Faces

 

An enduring fascination with the photographic portrait.

Each portrait reveals something of the sitter, the photographer and also of us as viewers. No one image can muster a whole and complete being, no matter how much we believe this could be so. This is the part of the photograph we create in our imagination, we fill in each crack and hole with a sort of personalized reasoning. And all these unknowns in the midst of true transparency.

Eye contact is made or retracted, body language boastful, reticent or indecipherable. Facial expressions can be hard at work or numbly slack. While subjects have a power over these photographic outcomes, it is the choice of the photographer to coax or mute said expressions for their artistic offering.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online! Submit work depicting people, selves, faces. People that baffle us with their complexities, personalities or simplistic nature. Make us question how this person existed at this particular place and time.

FOR YOU

Why is mint chocolate chip ice cream so often green?  We know that the essential oils used to produce the mint flavor certainly doesn’t lend the color.  Is it the manufacturer’s way of grabbing the attention of someone already searching for the flavor?  Does green food say “mint” to you?  Green foods say “grassy” or “produce” to me.  There is no denying that food imagery helps determine choice, and this next Call drives home that point precisely.  Can’t wait to see your entries…

Feast

 

Feast your eyes & dig in. The taste of food photography.

From farm to table; the harvesting, preparing and plating of culinary masterpieces.  Food, we eat it to survive.  Yet if grown and prepared with intention, these are the dishes we savor.

Cooking can be a lot like taking a great photograph.  Both lend themselves to fearless experimentation, adaptation and, ultimately, the creation of something awe-inspiring.

Photography capturing this process is something that all walks of life can connect to and be stirred by.  The act of breaking bread with one another is deeply ingrained in our many traditions and ancestry.

There are a lot of reasons not to eat fried foods on a regular basis.  You’ve heard most of them: blood pressure, heart disease, vitamin deficiency.  Blah, blah, blah. You already know all of the logical reasons.  So, let me proffer that fried food is the culinary equivalent of institutional gray.  Do you really enjoy a plate of brown and beige food that all basically tastes beige?  I hate to misappropriate the Skittles slogan, but taste the rainbow people.  This next Call is the best reason to appreciate gray, but walk away from the beige, folks…

The world is a colorful place. Despite this, photographers often choose to excise color from the world they capture. Artists working in black and white eliminate the complexities of color to accentuate form, composition, and lighting. The world desaturated is in some ways made more vivid. For Grayscale, The Kiernan gallery seeks photographs of any subject matter that use and celebrate the vibrancy of monochrome.

Receiving an MFA in photography from Louisiana Tech University, his images have appeared throughout the world in numerous group and solo exhibitions, publications, and online media.

Bloxham’s photography centers around fictional situations and events, told through the slight hint of a smirking camera.  His techniques apply the command of tools ranging from pen, paper, and storyboards, to strobe lighting and digital post-processing.   He is an assistant professor of photography at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and a faculty member at the Maine Media Workshops.

My kitchen is clean-ish.  Can you eat off my floors?  Absolutely not.  I am pretty good about cleaning as I cook so there isn’t a disaster to clean up afterward.  And, crumb-y counters are my pet peeve; so I keep them wiped down.  But despite my best efforts, I have an ant problem.  I find a dozen or so small black ants on my kitchen counters every time I go in.  I’m tempted to incorporate them into my next recipe just to send a message to the rest of their kind.  This next Call could be a reason to spare their little lives, or not…

Ah, the mysterious world of the insect.  Some are cute and cuddly, like the furry caterpillar.  Some are fierce and scary, wearing their skeletons on the outside to frighten us.  Some are artistic and majestic like the beautiful butterfly. And some are just downright romantic, like the firefly on a warm summer evening.

Nothing stretches the photographic imagination like a visit to a strange new world, but on this trip you needn’t go far to find a photo worthy subject; the wonderful world of bugs intersects and parallels our own.  Like humans, bugs are everywhere!  So this month, forget the cobwebs of your mind, grab your camera and your knee pads and worm your way into the nooks and crannies of the fantastic world of the creepers and the crawly!  Be here now and in tune with the buzz…. this month 1650 celebrates life — a bug’s life!

Street photographers are guerrilla documentarians. They capture the world as they see it, using small and forgotten moments to present a larger narrative. Themes of class, age, occupation, or background are brought to life by small stories that evoke our shared humanity.

The keen eyes of street photographers see what others take for granted, and depict the richness and variety of our public lives. For Eye on the Street, The Kiernan Gallery seeks street photography in all its forms.

Color plays an important role in how we perceive the world around us. So when you take that information away what do you get in return? Without color, other elements of the photograph take on a more distinct role in telling the story. Notice how lighting, contrast, and composition are much more important in monochromatic images.

Uptown, downtown,
urban spaces, public places
and the life
that inhabits them!

 Nothing in the city is stopping, nothing is slow.  There’s never a moment of silence, a moment alone.  Horns honking, people talking, vendors yelling, children laughing, doors opening & doors closing.  The city has a beat, a rhythm, a constant ebb & flow.  Strangers brushing shoulders, lovers holding hands, catch it all in an instant.  Because in an instant it will be gone.

All except the buildings. The stoic silence of these structures juxtaposes all the life.  Distinct architecture, setting the scene, a beauty so quiet in a sea of so much noise. Each brick tells a story.  They are characters in this play of city life.
