CALL for ENTRIES: Lines

for dinner

As linear foods go, I make a mean grilled eggplant lasagna.  I don’t usually fall for the layered foods like 7-layer dips and trifles, but lasagna is the exception.  Most people are replacing the meat when they use eggplant in lasagna, I’m really replacing the noodles.  While I can find wheat-less pasta of most types, lasagna noodles have eluded me.  So, eggplant makes a gorgeous replacement.  I make it in a glass plan just to get the composition perfect.  Ridiculous.  This next Call is a far better use of a line obsession.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Lines. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror.  And the theme leaves lots of room for interpretation. Take a look

Lines

 

Lines are powerful compositional elements that control the way eyes move through an image. The effect that lines have on an image varies. Horizontal lines convey a sense of width, stability, calm, lazy, security, relaxation, constancy and timelessness. Whereas vertical lines convey a sense of strength, height, integrity, solidity, dominance, power, peace & tranquility, substance or permanence.  This Call is for images that utilize lines in innovative and dynamic ways. — from darkroomgallery.com

Vera by Photographer Dan McCormack
Vera
Pinhole Photography
McCORMACK used a round oatmeal box pinhole camera to create a series of visceral images. Through successive pulling of curves in Photoshop, B&W values are replaced with color. The “Nude at Home” series, began about five years ago.

McCormack photographs the model nude in her home, apartment or studio. With the model in her space, all the objects in the image are a part of the life of the model. Then the pose, the furniture and the long, two minute exposures reveal an intimate portrait of the subject.

FAVORITE FOOD: Blueberries
