FRIED THIGHS

When I think of the foods of my youth, I think of… Banquet Fried Chicken.  I know, I know.  I was reared by my father, alone, between the ages of 3 and 13, and we ate anything and everything pre-packaged or ready-made that we could because I did all the cooking from age 5 up.  Do not send me letters about child labor or processed food, please; it was not a choice… it just was. Oddly enough, I suspect my child will remember granola bars and french bread pizza as the foods of his youth.  Wonder if I’ve really made much of an improvement, ha.  This next Call has me wondering what the food of my 40’s will be.  Any suggestions?

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for Edges & Curves at The Glass Studio in Highland Park, CA.  The entry fee is only $12 for 6 images; however, there are age restrictions.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves

Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between attempts to bust the myth that the older creative has lost her or his edge.

In a youth oriented society, the conventional wisdom is that the younger artist is the risk taker and rule breaker. And while those who would follow conventional wisdom believe we soften as we get older, there are those who actually hone their edges to craft a message with more bite and risk because of their station in life. 

ELIGIBILITY: This event is open to any artist 40 years and older.
