PASSIONATELY REaD,
I hope…

I love red. One of the two theme colors of this blog site is #E00000.  I have at least a dozen pair of red shoes, and I even love red food.  Cherries and strawberries, pomegranates and raspberries, home grown tomatoes, chard and rhubarb.  This next Call overwhelms me with opportunities to revel in the rouge of it all.  Celebrate with me…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Red. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. The jury method for this one is a change from the norm with TWO jurors EACH choosing a winner. Take a look…
