A SOUL of SALMON
I believe that I am what I have eaten. I have learned that the contents of my diet directly informs my mood, energy level, and even my creative tendencies. I love fried chicken as much as the next sad and depressed person, but I have learned that fried chicken doesn’t make it better. Beet salad and blanched ‘n’ chilled asparagus and the perfect piece of salmon can transform my body and my mind. If you believe that people are what they eat, then this next Call is a smorgasboard. Investigate…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for The Human Form. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and I love that they will provide free matting and framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Human Form
Our bodies:
forbidden, subverted, suppressed.
Our bodies:
elevated, venerated, and sanctified.
The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable. It is one of the very few things that all of us has in common, and yet is a source of perpetual cultural, spiritual, and scientific dissension. What better proof of this diversity than through the Photographic Arts; the Human Form has been its eternally devoted, perpetual muse. The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem – as one of our most valued photographic subjects, our images do the same.
The Human Form,
simple yet subtly complex,
always present yet hidden,
expose your vision.
ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If you are younger, you must have a parent or legal guardian make the submission for you.
