CALL for ENTRIES: Culture

I struggle with the debate over the cost of healthy food vs. fast food.  I struggle with the idea that there are food snobs out there that believe that “healthy food is expensive” is an excuse, instead of a reason.  Healthy food IS expensive. Cauliflower, a relatively unsexy vegetable, is currently $6 a head at the grocery.  Six dollars.  That is insane.  Asparagus, sure, but cauliflower? Really.  And cost aside, there really are places in this country where access to fresh food is limited by availability, transportation & a lack of knowledge or ability to prepare it if it were accessible.  So, instead of clever memes, can we just take a moment to talk about a culture that ignores hunger because it “doesn’t affect me”?  Do you have to have something to say about the culture outside your window? This Call is the perfect opportunity to let your work speak…

Photography by Juror Peter Turnley!CALL FOR ENTRIES:
A True Story

Photography is the medium of memory. With its birth came the pictorial press and the realization that “a picture tells a thousand words.”  This is documentary photography.  It is present and tangible, and we rely on it to be authentic and true.  It teaches us, and when presented in proper context, we believe what we see.  

It is the job of the Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer to present the facts at hand.  It is a challenging job often requiring instant decisions and sometimes in the face of substantial obstacles.  How do we do this succinctly and objectively while providing an engaging and remarkable image or series? 

Is it possible to capture a photographic truth while simultaneously expressing our naturally subjective eye? 

Juror Peter Turnley has proven the task can be successful – have you?

 

Learn more about the Vermont Photo Space Gallery!For A True Story, VPS is looking for the documented event, person, or place, whether political, religious, cultural or environmental. Reality itself is infinitely more complex that what a single image can show, so we encourage your Photo Essay submissions of up to six images (some single images tell the whole thing adequately – these will be considered equally).  As the Photo Essay is so often complimented or even interdependent with text, they will allow up to three sentences to accompany each accepted image for display in the gallery.

Of special note:  VPS is able to accept essays for this exhibition!  So much of the genre appears as photo story, and they are thrilled to offer the opportunity to exhibitors to submit the same.  Whether you are submitting single images or multiples as a story, Juror Peter Turnley will consider your work as it is intended.  Who knows, this exhibition may include a few very lucky photographers who present an outstanding documentary photo story in several images.

His images have been published in International magazines including Stern, Paris Match, Geo, Life, National Geographic, the London Sunday Times, Le Monde, and Doubletake.
