went the corn

I usually believe in moderation in all things, but lately I’m finding myself on the extremes of all the food issues out there–from dairy to beef, wheat to sugar.  It seems as though everyone has a very black and white view on what is and is not good for you.  Did you every thing there would be a vegetable that you were NOT supposed to eat?  Me either, but corn is apparently my new nemesis.  Go figure.  I try to turn a blind eye to those beautiful ears, but it would be easier if I could be selectively color blind.  Trust me…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Color Blind. 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…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

Color-Blind

 

The inability
to distinguish one or
more chromatic colors,
distinction of space
by the edges of
darkness and light.

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.

Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop crafter, show them your love for hue-less images. They want your best black and white or alternative process photographs.  Pay tribute to the origins of photography.
